    Amerc Ammo

    Oh, oh. I bought a box of Amerc ammo at the last gun show. The only other carbine ammo I found was what I think is the Chinese fake LC ammo. I was going to use it today but I'll hold off until I learn more about it. What experiences did you have with Amerc? What have you heard from others? Thanks

    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 ...

    Amerc is well known for brittle brass. Split cases and occasional separations are the norm. If you decide to shoot it, scrap the brass afterwards. Its junk.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
