W.r.a. 42

**garandfan1974** · 09-01-2009 08:14 PM

I found a cigar box of mixed ammo at a yard sale saturday, and there was 40 rounds of m2 in it. it was marked W.R.A. 42. My question is, did Winchester make ammo for the government long before ww2 or only during ww2 like their garand production? This is the earliest ww2 Winchester ammo I have seen. Also, did Winchester make enblocs? TIA

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Hi there
Not 100% sure about the ammo, but I think they did.
They definitely made enblocks, it was part of the contract.
On the earliest the notches where they latch went all the way through &
were unmarked. The others were made the same as everyone else & marked WRA
