    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 ...

    And, it won't hurt the casing at all.

    Well Cinders, I'm a lucky guy with my neighbours.
    They are all hunters or military.
    No trouble with guns at all.
    We already have a defence plan around our block in case.......
    Put up joking, but it is really good.
    We have firing positions on road level, on the first and second floors and we can cover 360° around our homes and the road going in between for at least 200 meters in both directions.
    Lots of fun going through the "plan" during our BBQ afternoons.

    Glad you found the problem. I had a similar mark appearing on Kragicon cases, but I know it was my doing. After I got my Krag I also got a good deal on a 30-40 Improved reamer. I was going to ream the chamber out, put the reamer in as far as it would go with its larger shoulder and lightly turned it with my fingers. Then I thought, wait, I better read the CMPicon rules. Krags have to be in their original chambering. Operation canceled, but it did leave a mark like yours. I've reloaded the cases many times without any problem.
