Indian SMLE .308 caliber bolt rifles.

[Adam Helmer]

Brithunter,

Not to prolong a dispute over terminology, calibers and such like, but yesterday I received a flyer (mail catalog) from AIM at phone number 888-748-5252 in Springboro, Ohio 45066.

On the front page of the advertisement is a photo of an," Enfield 2A .308 Nato Rifles." I have shot much .308 Winchester ammo in my 7.62x51mm rifles and they apparently did not know the difference, if any.

The flyer says the Ishapore folks used "superior 1960s technology in steel manufacturing and tooling when compared to the turn of the century processes to make the .303 cal. Enfields."

Bottom line, it seems the 2A is a .308 Winchester and a 7.62x51mm arm. If your local blokes wish to overload a .308 Nato, then God be with them.
