More I think about it... I might go back and buy the opened box as well.. not that I need it.. maybe put one or two rounds down the Enfield No. 5 Mk 1 aka 'Jungle Carbine' I will be picking up Friday (California 10 day waiting period will be over - I did not put this one on my Type 3 FFL)

When you've done that you may feel that you need to complete the package with the purchase of an appropriate aircraft, a Spitfire.

The .303" RAF special for aircraft was the same as regular .303" except made to tighter specs. The RAF special ammo can be distinguished by all four digits of the year in the hs vs two in other .303".
In the late 1930s it was decided to make all .303" to RAF standard and the the four digit date was dropped c1942.
Crimped primers were introduced c1916 with the introduction of the Hotchkiss LMG which had a tendency to blow primers.

So, are you wondering if that's why they chose the number "48" for the cardboard boxes? I know we've discussed it before here.

No but then you have loose rounds to sell guys for their collections. You only need one for your own and a couple loose to try on a steel plate.

If they still have them on Friday and I'm able to get them. Anyone here would be welcome to one or two for their collection at cost plus shipping if wanted. Never mailed ammunition so I would have to figure that out.

I think it would have to go by a courier, dangerous goods. Here anyway. Don't think shipping a couple will be very cost effective, in the US your rules might be different. Gunshow sales for sure.

Would have to be UPS. USPS doesn’t allow ammo.
Although a couple in a flat rate box would likely go completely unnoticed…..

Us too, right up until you're either accidentally discovered or the receiver has a moment and reports you...then it would be a trip directly to the crowbar hotel.
