    7.62x25 headstamp id

    I have some 7.62x25 ammo I need to identify. The headstamp is: A star at 12 o'clock, a 10 at 3 o'clock, a 3 at 9 o'clock and either a 53 or 63 at 6 o'clock. What do I have. 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.

    No, I don't believe Bulgaria produced any steel core Tokarev ammo. It has a lead core with a gilding-metal clad steel jacket.
