    IVI Mk8Z Ranger Issue (Pics incl.)

    Took a couple pics of our Ball ammo. We're heading to the range to do some zeroing on Saturday.

    Usually comes two metal cans to a wood case, 400/can, 800/case. Ammo can is standard .50 BMG can.

    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 ...

    You could sell those empty boxes on Ebay. I wouldn't mind one.

    The cardboard or steel boxes?

    It shoots decently too. Best group today was about 3 inches. Without the one flyer it would have been an inch.

    They're spoken for. We don't quite get into fist fights in the Patrol for them, but it comes close some times.

    Legally, there's no way for you to obtain it. It's the property of the DND and is issued to the Canadianicon Ranger Patrols across the country. As none of it has ever been surplused any that you may see for sale at gunshows, etc, is stolen gov't property.

    I'm fortunate enough to be a Ranger and have access to it for practice. I like to think of it as a tax rebate.

    yes DND ammo

    Its issued to the rangers for their range use.

    there is some accetable leeway in disopsal of salvage materials such as the ammo cans for personal/military/ranger use, but if anyone gets caught selling this salvage material SHTF
