    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.

    Come'on guys, thats ONLY $35 per box! What's wrong with that? Ok, so maybe the seller should have thrown in an Inland RG to go with it.... That would have made it about $19.50 a box. I'll pay $19.50 a box. Maybe this is a case of the Inland is really in the deal, but just not listed.

    I have 40 rounds of real LC 52 that I got when I bought my DCM/NRA WRA from the original purchaser. I shot 20 rounds of the 60 - he gave me it was hot stuff compared to the current commercial rounds. Maybe I can sell it on gunbroker for way more than it is worth.

    I have ~2000 rounds of S&B, AE and Aquila stocked and I have 30 carbine dies, 400 110 FMJ bullets, 200 new casings, 400 used casings - only 100 SRP but a 1000 on backorder with Cabelas and some W296.

    I bought 4 cans at the 2001 National matches from the CMPicon. They were $185 plus tax then.I have shot up one and refilled the can with this and that carbine ammo ww2, foreign,commercial mostly stuff that came from other deals. I now have used them to line the bottom of my safe,put a carpet square over them and the butts of my rifles are now purched on them.They might as well be safe queens now too because on my meager salary I would feel guilty shooting rare ammo like that.

    $950 for a case of ammo - that's obscene, but nobody twisted his arm to pay it. Don't fault the sellers, guys - they can't make anybody push those buttons.

    5 minutes ago, I got an E-mail with pics of ammo and 2 bandoleers with 18 full strippers. MRP stamped, never fired. 180 rds including shipping for $50.00.
    Guy just happened to find it in the back of a safe, and remembered I like .30 cals.

    Hey Curt,
    It would be pretty sad to come home and see you've been robbed of your ammo........but they left the guns!

    Not faulting the seller one bit. I am not sure if I even fault the buyer probally just some schmuck new to carbines worried he bought a tomato stake he will never get ammo to fire.
