new variation from the 5.56x45mm cartridge

**RCS** · 05-30-2014 07:43 PM

India has been working on some new weapons that will use the 5.56x30mm cartridge which is a shortened 5.56x45mm. This is not really new as Colt had developed the 5.56mm MARS years ago which was also 5.56x30mmAttachment 53370

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.

And...are we going to see the Desert Eagle chambered in that? That could be fun...with a fireball at the muzzle...

Over on the AR15.COM retro forum, we were discussing the Colt MARS about a month ago. Interesting stuff there.
