Price check on some surplus?

[Major Sights]

Hey all! No, its not a price check on 7.62x39. Something a little bit harder to find. Some .303British!!!


110 rounds for $100? Is this roughly the going price? I have no idea as this would be the first .303 stuff I have purchased.

What sort of .303?

 

[Major Sights]

All they had time to read on the box (over the phone to the store) was Mk87? New one on me. 110 rounds in a black cardboard box.

That's nitrocellulose (not cordite) loaded Vickers machinegun ammunition.
.303 quality can vary, depending on who made it, how old it is, and how its been stored.

 

[Major Sights]

So a NO NO for a good shape full stock LB?

Pressure is slightly higher than Mk. 7 ball, but not enough to be an issue.
I've shot it in LE and Ross rifles.
Sight calibrations won't work at longer range.
I don't think the price is a screaming bargain if it good quality. If it isn't, its overpriced.
