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.

I saw that information in an ammo section sticky at AR15.com awhile back. Try serach there.

You need to be able to hit a man sized target at 500 yards with M855 ammunition. That is all I know.

As with most things dealing, with the military, the answer's not as straight forward as you might hope. However, you can review the full military specifications (including accuracy with M885 ammunition, which of course has it's own military specifications) for the M16A2 and M4A1 rifles at the first link below. The second link will allow you to view the milspecs of many more M16 icon

variants, as well as those for older weapons (M1 Garand, BAR, etc.) Hope this helps!
