    US steel case 7.62x51

    Far left is a 7.62x51 with a steel case, headstamp L C 56
    middle is a 7.62x51 with AP bullet headstamp L C 54

    Far right is a 22/7.62x51 cartridge headstamped WCC 53. While doing some research on an article concerning the US T48 rifles, I found that 20 H&R T48 rifles were rebarreled to 22/7.62mm and tested at Fort Benning in 1956.

    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.
