Product Description

This inert .303 British cartridge is an authentic 1945-dated example produced by Radway Green, identified by the “RG 45” headstamp. Radway Green was one of the United Kingdom’s primary ammunition factories during the final year of the Second World War — and subsequently Britain’s major post-war small-arms ammunition producer. Rounds from this late-war period carry particular interest for collectors, representing the transition between wartime production and the early post-war era.

This cartridge has been professionally deactivated — the primer is struck, there is no propellant, and it is completely inert and legal to own under UK legislation. The brass case, rimmed design, and classic .303 British profile reflect the standard ammunition used by the British and Commonwealth forces in rifles such as the Lee-Enfield, and machine guns such as Bren and Vickers.

Collectors appreciate RG-marked cartridges for their quality, clear headstamps, and historical significance. This round is ideal for display, educational collections, historical rifle displays or as part of an authentic cartridge headstamp set. Its 1945 date marks it as a late-WWII / early post-war piece, making it a desirable addition for any serious .303 British collection.
