    New manufacture Mk.7 projectiles

    I received an email from the techie at Sierra Bullets about producing a Mk.7 equivalent flat base .303 projectile. He said it would be March before a decision will be made to produce them but the idea is being floated with some enthusiasm and not to give up on the idea. I reckon we'll see. Brian

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I'm sure there will be a TON of takers. It would probably be enough for me to finally start reloading all the casings I've saved over the past 8 years.

    Is there a way to lobby for the project and perhaps help them gage the real world interest in projectiles? I would bet there are a few folks here that would be willing to send an e-mail,snail mail or make a call.

    It isn't a done deal yet. Go to Sierra Bullets - The Bulletsmiths and write, call or email. Whatever strikes your fancy. If we all wear them out, they might make them sooner just to get rid of us!! It's Sierra Bullets - The Bulletsmiths.

    Here's hoping. My birthday is in April so a set of .303 loading dies will be on order if they start making Mk VII bullets.

    What about adding to the EMail or letter words to the effect that '................. put me down for 1000 (or whatever number) even before you start the presses rolling......' That should light a few eyes up

    Great move Brian
