    Announcement American Legion Post needs .223 Blank ammo...

    The American Legion Post 245 in State College, Pennsylvania is in need of 223Blank ammo (yes, they now use AR-15's...). They are doing more and more ceremonial/burial details as our greatest generation is quickly departing. Does anyone know of a low cost source, or better yet, anyone have or know of anyone that would be willing to donate to them? (I have given them about a half an ammo can, but that is all I have...). They would certainly be willing to cover any and all costs associated with shipping. Please contact me at Kenny27@aol.com with any helpful information...

    Many thanks,

    Kenny Williamson

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Anniston Army Depot.
    They supply the VFW,DAV,AL etc with blanks for ceremonial/burial details for not much more than the cost of shipping.
    I thought they supplied in all 3 calibers
    30-06 for sure
    It's the same place that the ceremonial rifles come from
    I know you said they were using thier own AR's but that should be no matter
