Usually someone will have it at a gun show, but it's typically over-priced IMHO.
Nothing out there but Pakistani (POF) which is VERY nasty ammo. Lots of click bangs and split necks.
There is some older crusty Brit surplus floating around too, but it's also corrosive and not the best stuff in the world. The market right now is pretty dry on surplus .303. Best to reload or buy S&B or HotShot commercial stuff.

Check the headspace before you shoot it.

It works - so long as your definition of work is 'click-psssssssssst-BOOM'.

I went through the same search for the Enfield I bought from AIM also. The best deal I could find was here:
http://www.coledistributing.com/
It is FNM and I was mostly interested in a supply of brass. I've shot about 50 rounds so far and it seems decent. The quality of the brass looks ok but until it is reloaded a few times I can't speak for the true quality.
Cole's price was good but the shipping seemed high. But, these days everybodies shipping seems high.

It came today
and I am very happy. The wood has some minor dings, but not all that many. The bore looks like their might be some corrsion, but Im really won't know until I run a patch and brush down it a few times. I can't wait to going to the range. There is a gunshow here Saturday so I will hit the surplus ammo guys and pick up some rounds. Sunday I will be on the range.
