    WTB .303 shells and mould

    I’m just purchasing a Lee Enfield 303 and would like to find some shells to reload along with a mould. If you have any complete cartridges that would also be of interest

    If he isn't and you're looking for a new home for it, I'd be interested to know what you wanted for it.

    I have 50 pcs. range pick up mixed head stamp, appears to be once fired, but I can't guarantee it.
    Also 160 pcs. WW Super head stamp once fired, cleaned, sized, and primed.
    All for $75.00, shipping included.

    Edit to add:
    Also see my "Lee group buy molds FS" ad. Couple of suitable molds there.

    Thanks guys but the 303 Lee Enfield I was hoping to buy was sold to someone else. It was a inexpensive 303 Jungle Carbine more correctly known as a
    Mk 5
    Thanks again

    Hey bazzer—that No. 5 MKI might have been a sporterized No. 4, many of those had the barrels cut to replicate the No. 5’s. Often, but not always, they would add a cone flash hider secured with a pin.
    I have two bonafide No. 5’s, one with a Herter’s aftermarket Monte Carlo stock and one in original military configuration.
    Keep looking for an Enfield, and good luck.

    Thanks, I have my eye on one at the moment that’s for sale. I actually was issued a MK 5 during my military career. I also shot a MK 4 T. I’m not a collector but I would like a MK 5 for home defense. I would prefer a AK 47 but here in California, should I say more? There are alternatives such as a Mini 30 but cost is also a factor for me.
