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.

    Depends upon the age:

    Up to the early 90's, it was packaged in standard brown cardboard boxes of 20, as with normal ball ammunition - there were one or two variations in label. I don't think it was actually called "Green Spot" then - it just had a green spot on the label to differentiate it from the black spot normal ball ammo.

    In the 90's Royal Ordnance was privatised, and made some attempt to create a "brand" called Green Spot. Green Spot was packed in the coloured box in the left of the photo. (It was still just ordinary ball ammo from the beginning of the batch run)
