Enfield chambered in .307 win?

[Craig0ry]

People do stupid stuff when they don't know much about milsurp firearms.

I inherited a S&W Victory chambered in 38 S&W and some ammo for it, that turned out to be a partial box of 380 ACP. I suspect that since it was a partial box that someone in the past had successfully fired the gun with that ammo.

I can imagine an old codger bringing his gun down to a local gun shop and then spending 30 minutes behind the counter stuffing various ammunition down the chamber until he found something that fit.

Scary, but I bet that stuff happened a lot back in the day.

This I can see happening, especially if the previous person shot old British 38s&w ammo, it would have said 380 inch on the box

With the semi-rim it would probably chamber, and the pressure is relatively low (and bullet undersized) so it probably wouldn't explode. Might just drop a .380 in my M&P tonight and see how it fits (obviously I'm not going to fire it).
