.303 ammo purchase

**Calif-Steve** · 03-14-2011 07:59 PM

I bought a large box of .303 issue ammo at the Reno Gunshow. Head stamped with a small triangle and the numeral "2". It is dated 1907. Bullet is nickel. Any ideas? Thank you.

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.

Iraq produced ammo headstamped with a small triangle. Is the Numeral 2 clearly marked? There is an iraqi symbol that is similar to '2' that I have seen on .303. A photo might help.

It is Iraqi, and the date is actually 1956. Not good ammo, but you might be lucky. Hope you didn't pay a premium price.

So I wasn't the only one at the Reno show - did you see the mismatched No.4 (T) for $2750? There were one or two No.4s and No.1 Mk.111s that I might have been tempted to buy, but someone bought me a signed copy of Mr. Skennerton icon

's book "The Lee Enfield" so I got all distracted.

Reno prices are all over the map. I see guys walking around with rifles on their shoulders for crazy money. A dealer buddy of mine bought a re-welded M1 icon

Carbine. He didn't know what he had and asked me to help. He was not happy. You really have to be alert at gunshows.
