    Older .30-06 casings

    A fried gave me a small amount of once fired .30-06 casings head stamps DM 42 and TW 53. Would these have any collector value, or just load them and fire 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 would like to respectfully thank you for the reply. Being somewhat new to this endevor I intend to be very vigilant in not ruining any thing of any collectible value, however small that may be. The one thing I do know is they ain't making any more!

    If they were collectible their not now being fired they are for all intents and purposes an empty case, as a collector myself pistol or rifle rounds are collected live as produced only when you get into the really big gear it gets hard to have live rounds in this country anyway.

    Now if you find one with a head stamp in the teens as in a hundred years ago like my rifle or the twenties you might have a collectable but other than that it's empty brass

    I have a few /06 cases that are marked U.S.iconC.C.O. 17. Shoot a few out of Garand before I saw the headstamp.

    Welcome to the forum, I had a few .45s I got from a friend that went the same way. I had a few so I kept a couple and used the rest. They all worked fine.
