    8mm Lebel question.

    Managed to find ONE box of 8mm Lebel today. It is Precision Cartridge Inc, 175 grain. Would this be safe for my non N marked 1886 Lebel?

    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.

    I have no idea, but I would look them up on google & see what they say. Better to go to the source than rely on second hand or hearsay.

    Not that it helps right now, but the Prvi is fine in non-"N" Frenchicon rifles.
