    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.

    It is steel case WW2 corrosive ammo. If you have to pay more than 15 cents a round, it's not worth messing with.

    Agreed. Since it is Eau Claire production, there is a good possibility of it being steel cased.

    Jim I think you mean that it's Evansville Chrylser and agree it's most likely steel cased and corrosive primed.

    Your EC ammo is Evansville-Chrysler,it is steel cased and corrosive made in 1944.These cases unlike most .45 cases have a small extractor groove and have been rumored to cause possible extractor damage.
