    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 understand that some years ago people were buying this stuff for the projectiles and propellant. Mind you, it'd have to be very cheap if all you really wanted to do was break it down I suppose!

    I still have bunch I bought from Aim Surplus that I call "May Pop" ammo. It's great for checking novice shooters for flinch.

    Yes and akin to shooting a muzzle loader I may add click--bang---smoke---confetti wads out the end of the barrel and an exclamation of "Where did that go!"

    We had a huge batch of 9mm ammo in the late 60's that came from a 3-way deal with India. Although that was pretty much the opposite and while the primers seemed to be OK, the propellant was either absent or made of curry powder. For that, so said......, they got the remaining hundreds of Centurions from Germanyicon. But as I was reminded many times. While they are non aligned, they are our/the Wests only TRUE friends in that part of the world

    A bit like the .38 S&W by Gevelot that I tried in my No2 Mk1 Enfield Revolver recently, each box of 50 rounds had the correct amount of powder, it just wasn't equally distributed between each cartridge.
