    Looking to find a box Of Canadian WWII .303 Drill Rounds

    Hello All,
    I’m looking to purchase a box of WWII Canadianicon .303 Drill Rounds. Not too sure on all Headstamp markings, I believe most were 1942 dated and have a Roman numeral VII on them. Most I’ve seen appear to be dimpled Aluminum casings.

    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 ...

    I had a bunch kicking around somewhere but could only find five I have in a charger in my display case. If you're not in a hurry they might pop up.

    Try the surplus stores; there are a few still!
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Tried, nothing. Also, it’ll have to be from the U.S. as I’m not sure if the purchasing from a Canadianicon company would even ship dummy ammo to the U.S.?
