    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 ...

    Carcano ammo does look like that on the bottom.

    I guess it didn't come on clips which would be a dead give away.

    Looks pretty rough, how many rounds did he get?

    You got some Italianicon 7.35 Terni ammo. Some appears to have been reloaded. Not very shootable, in my humble opinion.

    the ammo is in rough shape. Think dad is pulling apart for components.

    I was sitting here pondering this thread and the ammo in question so I looked up the conversion for the .299 and it came back with 7.59mm so I dug out 14th Ed COTW and sure enough its the Carcano then I thought I would look up the cartridge on the net to see a head stamp at this point the light bulb went on as I have a Carcano full 6 round en-bloc clip sitting on my shelf in the room has the cartridges are all SMI the 932 is that month & year the brass en-bloc's apparently are getting rare now days.

    En - Bloc ~ BPD = Bombrini Parodi Delfino, Rome, Italyicon - 34 ? year of manufacture perhaps!
    Cartridge ~ SMI = Società Metallurgica Italiana, Campo Tizzoro, Italy Sept 1932 manufacture ?

    Tellya sometimes I am so far behind the band I cannot hear the music.......
