    Gunshow Ammo finds!

    Hi all,

    Just thought I would share some of the goodies I got at a local gun show. Didn't really see much in the way of deals except for the ammo I picked up. Best deal was 90rds of surplus 7mm Mauser on the stripper clips for 25$.

    In any case here is some photos of the stuff I ended up with.


    Left to right, 2rds 8mm Mauser, Swissicon GP 90-23, Finnishicon 7.62x54r, 2rds 30-06 one incendiary one standard




    Some .303 Britishicon


    Bunch of different manufacturers


    More of the headstamps for the .303


    Clip of 7.65 Argentine, and two clips of 7mm Mauser


    Austrian made 7.65x53 Argentine for Argentinaicon, FN made 7mm Mauser, and 1938 made DWM 7mm Mauser


    Some 45 ACP, a .380, a .455 Webley, and another .380 with a full box of .380


    Head stamps on those rounds

    All in all not a bad way to spend the morning.

    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.

    What's the head stamp on the incendiary? Orange is a tracer, not incendiary depending on who made it. Evil thing it is too.

    Both the tracer and standard .30-06 round are Remington Arms manufactured. Added the photo of the headstamp in, missed adding it.

    The ORBEA .380" was made on Britishicon contract in WW2 same as the Ballester Molina 45s.
