    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 ...

    Hi. There's a really good picture of one of 'em that has been cut open to show the construction here. Really just a thick jacket. I suspect they were more marketing to PD's than actually tested.

    If you have any, don't shoot it. The stuff is worth a fortune. $7 each. Apparently there some on Gunbroker last summer at $15 each.

    The name does more damage then the round does in real life. Winchester made these for years in .38 spl as well as .357 Magnum. The .38spl was so strong they...BOUNCED of car bumpers. Barely made it through the trunk lid. Not any better then military ball ammo. I never had a chance to try the .357 Magnum but based on the .38 spl I doubt there would be a big difference. A good Federal or Remington .357 magnum with 125 gr. HP works much better all the way around.

    eh Black Talon, not much of a difference than a regular stock manufactured hollow point, Now if we were discussing the ABC or American Bullet Company, totally different, ABC Bullets were cast steel, the 9mm would pass through body armor, But alas, Government shut em down after it was "discovered" would I love to get a hold of some of the American Bullet Company rounds.
