Thank you, Steve Redgwell, and good luck to you with your Contender 30/30 rifle.

Your site reminds me that 45 years ago, I had a No.1, Mark III SMLE, a Pattern 14, a martini converted to .303 and a No. 4, Mark 1 (T) sniper rifle with the 3x scope (odd reticle, sort of like a German No. 1) in its original crate. I should have kept the last. I also had a case of Canadian 1942 .303 that was primed with non-corrosive Boxer primers. I still have the crate for that. It warns not to use the ammunition in synchronized guns after 1944.

Best wishes,
