    .30 Army Blank Smokeless

    I have some Winchester 20 rnd boxes made for the Krag Jorgensen and Winchester repeating rifles {according to the boxes} they are white paper and brass W.R.A. Co .30 Army. I am curious to know what they were used for I have some idea but would like to hear from others, I have acquired a large amount of M1icon Garand blanks with the red paint on the tip of the blank cartridge in the en bloc clips in the cloth carriers with the original stamped { 480 cal 30 cartridges Blank M1909 IN8RD Clips Bandoleers Lot LC 13551} steel ammo boxes. I am curious about their use and any other facts available. MNtrekker

    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.
