    some unusual and seldom found sporting cartridges

    I found these in my collection and thought it might be interesting to post a photo. As these were used in single, double and combination rifles (except for one Mauser) it might be interesting to see how many could be identified.

    Will post the answers laterAttachment 86178

    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 ...

    If you can throw some calipers on them also pics of the base of them so we can see any markings we could go from there, so I will have a stab based on whats in the pic;

    Extreme Rt may be a 11.2mm x 72mm Schuler identified by its rebated rim.

    1 & 4 could be the 8mm x 72Rmm Sauer

    2 could be 8mm x 57R mm JS Mauser
