    Still another

    Picked up a 2pdr case 304mm long the other day I had a spare 2pdr solid which has a No.1007 underneath see pic so put that in it they are a little banged up but hey thats part of the patina.
    I also have a solid 2pdr rounded nose practice projie stamped 1941 in red oxide but it did not look the part so the G1 solid it is.
    Cheers.
    (As usual 303 case on the Rt for scale)

    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.

    Zillions of 2 pounder projectiles were made by Climax Rock Drill (CRD) in Cornwall who also made Bren gun parts

    That looks familiar Cinders, just like one I recovered from the old Anti Tank range at Singleton.
    The targets were on rails and moved across the frontage, great old range.

    This would be the tank shell then? I had a chance at one of those I think, but it had been holed at some point and was quite banged up.
