Wanted: Reloadable Canadian War Dated .303 Brass

[kajn65]

Hi Terry,

I'm looking for a minimum of 150 spent cases with their spent primers still intact. Possiblely 200-250 cases maximum. I'll have to double check on the larger figure and get back to you on that.

As long as the cases are in good shape with no dents, cracks or holes drilled in their sides; or, have any heavy oxidization on them (they must be able to be cleaned up easly). I would like to have some to make up a batch of inert ammunition for my 3 bandoliers; and a few extra stripper clips. No one in our group has any for display purposes. All I have to date is one chrome plated Drill or Instruction Round, which I picked up at a Gun Show for $0.50. Have these cases been resized so that they can fit in the rifle's chamber once the bullet is installed?

If that's to many to ask for, then quote me a price in what quantity you have available?

I have a chap that I met at a Gun Show back in September who says he has 50+ cases with the spent primer still intact, allong with Service Mk7 and Mk8 Bullets to be installed. I've sent several emails asking for a price but, have no reply as of yet. The next step is to give him a phone call. Personally, I think he has already sold the stuff. Hence, no replies to my emails.

Would you (or any other member) be able to tell me what Canadian Manufacturers of WW2 .303 Ball and other .303 caliber ammuntion types supplied our Miliitary Forces during this time? Who where the most popular?

I have a chance to get my hands on an original WW2 Canadian/Bristish .303 ammunition box from a fellow in a community that's about an hours drive away. If I can get it, I'd like to be able to have that at least half the volume of the box loaded with inert Canadian WW2 .303 Ball ammunition. No one in our Unit has been able to find one in good shape to use. Are the rounds found loose in this ammo box or are they packed inside in their stripper clips and bandoliers? I have yet to have a definate answer on this subject.

Thanks.

Rgs...
