    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.

    Don't know about the ammo but don't have any gut feelings about the barrel band because it is a cut off type III.

    I think Cut off, zoomed in and there is no radius on bottom band. 90 degree cut!

    Charlie, I tried working on the ammo labels in photoshop but didn't get very far. I am sure it is FMJ, but I THINK (not sure) that it is 95 grain. It MAY (based on the way the numbers are laid out on the box) be Frenchicon (???) However, at $.60 a round, I would pass. There is nothing special about ammo that you can not identify. While I am sure that a person could read through the bag if you were standing there next to it, the photographer didn't think to simply push the bag down to take a better picture. Either the guy doesn't care to move it or he is deliberately being non-descriptive.

    Not accusing, not being over daramtic and not on a witch hunt... Just can't read the label. Did you ask him for a more detailed description?

    But the guy did have some very unique things in some of his other auctions. I wonder if they are genuine too.

    Just my two cents worth....

    It looks a lot like:

    Prvi Partizan Ammunition

    I bought up a sealed battle pack that looks like those pictures a year ago or so, in .223. That would be my bet on what it is, but the seller sure thinks it's gold, his buy it now price is 59 cents a round. I might pay that for Lake City brass ammo, but not for this.

    My gut feeling on the band.........
    Sick to my stomach!

    If these guys can't take decent pictures, there not worth trying to contact.
    I'm sick of trying to determine a parts marking, condition or ID from these shi##y pics.

    Enough said.......
    Have a great 4th fellow members,
    Charlie

    Yep. PRVI. BTW, PRVI is brass case, lead core, copper jacket. Were you implying by 'Lake City brass ammo' that PRVI is steel case?

    Inland, I won't speak for Stickhauler and what he spoke of, but I know I am willing to pay a little more for GI brass over commercial when it comes to carbine ammo. While most name brand commercial brass reloads just fine for me, the USGI seems to last a bit longer and does not split at the mouth as soon.

    Just my two cents...

    It may also be that Russianicon "Tula" arsenal 30 carbine. Tula 7.62x39 comes in a white box just like that.
