Surplus 303 Brit Ammo - Collector's Item

#1

Post by der Teufel »

This is a box of surplus, old stock, 303 British ammo. It's in the original shipping box. Inside is a sealed tin containing nine packages of 32 rounds each, for a total of 288 rounds.

This really isn't for shooting. The ammo is original, with corrosive primers. It's a collector's item for those particularly interested in 303 British Enfield items. As such, it's admittedly somewhat expensive (compared to standard ammo). The price is $400. I've seen them going on auction sites occasionally here, in Australia, and Britain for the equivalent of $350-450 or so, hence the price.

I figured I'd throw it out here since this is (mostly) a Texas board, and I might be able to avoid the hassle of shipping it.

Good luck with the sale. Your collector's item spurred a memory which I couldn't resist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbMWX73XNDk
