    .303 British Surplus Ammo at Midway

    Hot off the presses folks...200 rounds for $150...in a cartridge can. They were "found" in a Britishicon Armory and they don't give anything away as to its age and origin. Only to say that it's Berdan primed, 174 grain bullet, non-corrosive, unreloadable brass and there's not much of it. Anyone know any more details?

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    What is the headstamp or does anyone know? If it's Mk.7z made in Belgiumicon, South Africa or Portugal it'll be very good stuff.

    P.o.f !

    I blew that pic up to 175% and can see no head stamps on the rim, if it is POFicon like I said before having fired a few hundred rounds of P.O.F '67 vintage it is really crud stuff.
    Whilst not the greatest shot in the world I am not prone to groups in yards or mili-second hang fires as POF liked to do I would have obtained better results throwing a handful of wheat at the target.

    You may ask why persist with that stuff simple I could not afford at that point reloading gear this stuff came up far cheaper than dirt and I guess I got what I paid for Sh*te.......
