The other thing that amazed me was it says on it "114 lbs". Crazy heavy to be moving around!
I waffled over it the first time I went there like a fool, and then a couple weeks later went back (luckily they are only open once every couple weeks), and began the search... Thought it was gone....
I found this at an antique store around here, and couldn't leave without it. Thought I would share!

I appreciate the input. History of USGI items is absolutely fascinating to me. The men/women/children that gave so much to provide us the freedom we have is incredible.
I’m not going to put my...

Hello all!
I recently acquired 2 M1 Carbine 30-round mags from a lot of 13 from GB. In the lot, I found 2 of the magazines were engraved by I’m guessing the original owner, or at least an owner....

Hello!
I received these in an order of a few things and I have no idea what these are....?

Has anyone seen these in different orientations or packing? Or were all these the same?

That's very cool. I have access to picking up 3-4 more cans of this stuff and I'm going back and forth on wether or not it's worth it. There are 756 rounds in each can and they are sealed up...

Found a local guy selling a can of these, looked em up online and took a gamble. Brought it home and cut it open. Quite the variety of ammo inside!
Anyone seen these before??

I weighed one as well and it's within 10 grains of a modern IMI 7.62X51.

Hello!
I recently purchased this box of ammo on GB for cheap not knowing if it was legit or not, but figured it was worth a try. The bottom of the box has a small tear so I was able to pull one...

I have a Twin Cities can in 192 round, 8-round Enblocs that's non corrosive with almost the same font.... It's stashed away right now. The lot number is mid 40,000's.
I was figuring it had to be...

According to the seller, the cases are originally designed for biological warfare. He provided me some documentation. The seller was the one that wrote the article in the IAA.
Very interesting...

Fascinating. Just read up on reduced 30-06 loads and there is quite a bit of information. The Schutzen load idea is very interesting and makes a lot of sense. The only thing that's peculiar is the...

Yeah, after seeing that there is only 11 gr. of powder in there and it certainly isn't 4895 or something else, it's going to be a yard fireshow. The brass is very interesting and I want to take some...
Forum: Vintage Ammo
So. Received boxes of brass today... Uploaded all the pictures I could think of that were pertinent.
-cases have a flared mouth and no crimp of any kind, so never loaded.
-primer is not crimped...
