    Cal .30 M2 ALT Clean Boxes (for collectors?)

    I picked up about 50+ boxes of this stuff at a fairly decent price a couple years ago. About 2+rds per box go "click no bang". If I keep those dud rounds off to the side I notice the primers often start to foam at the edges. I used to have pics of this but I can't find em. It seems pretty accurate though and all the ammo has looked excellent before firing.

    Someone mentioned on another thread this ammo is appealing to collectors and could be worth something as long as boxes are clean





    I was burning the ratty looking boxes through my O3A3 for a while but kinda forgot about the VG condition clean boxes.

    I may be a stock pile-er but not an ammo collector. Might save one or two but I'm posting this thread for speculation on present reasonable value of the clean boxes. I would like to think about moving them

    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.

    Why not try the WTS forum? You'll get further with this idea there I should think...

    I guess I would post in the WTS once I establish a sell price and what size lots I will let go.

    Sure, either they go or they don't...then we'll know for sure. Doesn't seem to be tons of feedback about this one.
