    Greek .303 Surplus

    Cheaper than dirt has Greek .303 for sale. I picked up 900 rounds on stripper clips for just under 400 shipped. I think they have 480 round bulk cases also.

    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.

    Talked to customer service this morning at cheaper than dirt. They still had 800 plus boxes left after I ordered yesterday. The backorder msg's being sent out were in error.

    Wonder where this came from? I thought the Greek 303 dried up years ago.

    Thanks for the heads up. Here is a link to some of the .410 ammo for the SMLE shotgun. I ordered a small case and received it last week. Really neat!!

    I bought 450 rd on the stripers after it was posted of this forum earlier in the week. They said it was "found in a bunker". Whatever that means???

    From what I understand, when Greece joined the EU they had to follow all EU regs. This impacted the ammo surplus in that one of the regs dictated that ammo be retail boxed. It COULD NOT be sold in the original ammo crates/cans. At the time it was decided that it would be too expensive to re-package the ammo so it sat in the warehouse for the last 10+ years.
    Apparently with the increase in value for ammo, someone decided it was now possible to re-pack and still make money.

    Went ahead and snagged another box of 30-06 when they relisted it earlier today.

    Status update on the first order: both boxes arrived at the house today. Will not be able to view them until Wednesday. Will report back with details.
