.303 Britannic?

[Ljungman]

Ok, so I was in Crappy Tire yesterday looking at the ammo and all the new winchester .303 british boxes say ".303 Britannic". When did this happen?

That's the French side of the box, smart guy!

I saw the same labeling on a box of .303 in the Fort Frances Canadian Tire. Seems odd that Winchester would start doing Frech langauge labelling but I can't see any other explanation.

cheers Darryl

Thought had crossed my mind but it's not on the old boxes AT ALL. Just wndering when and why this happened.

"...odd that Winchester would start doing French..." Required by a Trudeau law.

From what I've seen the warnings are always in English and French, but up till now I haven't heard of Winchester actually writing the caliber in French too.

Faque!

That's 303 Britannique
As said above, that's the law.
If it doesn't say in french, Le Bloc Separatiste will send Le faquine Surete at the CT stores to confiscate the said ammo. And you know what the papers will say about the raid and the dangerous ammo seized.

Tell me again, how do you say "Canadian Tire" in french?

 

[Northman999]

It's le Canadian Tire...

And you've got to watch out for that French ammo too. In order for it to work right you've got to have a glass of wine first, then whisper sweet nothings to the ammo, and then tickle the chamber of the rifle with a soft feather. Then it shoots like the damn. Otherwise all the rounds turn out to be duds...

 

[fat tony]

I bought some of this ammo, do you suppose it will be like Vichy Water and 'turn against you'? after you fire it?

 

[K98]

What's french for Winchester?

And can you get these in 302 Britannic?

It's called "Cheap crap from communist countries at high prices", or as we know it in the west....Cambodian Tire
