Garand Ammo, Fell Short By One

Jumpmaster! · Nov 12, 2017

If anyone has a single 30-06 cartridge with a headstamp of "DEN 43", I would like to buy it from you. At the Eastern Shore Arms Collector show on Sunday I picked up an enbloc clip of ammo that I thought was all headstamped "DEN 43" but somebody stuck a single commercial cartridge in the clip.
I really should start taking a magnifying glass to gun shows.

Thanks.
John

That was shitty, most modern commercial powder is too slow for a Garand, hence a bent op rod. :sad20:

I’m confused.

This is all the ammo you’ll ever need?

I have some so how do you receive one cartridge?

Are those armor piercing?

Id help you but all my 43 and 42 Denver are blanks, In one of the cans I believe I have some 44 Denver I will have to dig to find it.

Yes but corrosive.

BLANKS.
That reminds me when as a newlywed I pissed on an electric cattle fence.
It was many years before we had a child.
John Wayne shooting blanks are those nights.

"I’m confused. This is all the ammo you’ll ever need?"

No, I have some HXP ammo that I got from the CMP. The enbloc clip and ammo was just something that I found at a gun show this weekend. I bought it to go with the '43 Springfield M1 that I got from the CMP.

I might just have one. I'll look when I get home.

The stray cartridge is headstamped "Superspeed 30-06 SPRG" and is fairly old. It is indistinguishable from the other cartridges and attracts a magnet. I can shoot it from my M1903-A3.

If you can't find it, no problem. I found a web site that has them for 1$ each plus shipping. I just want to complete the clip and keep it as a match for my '43 M1. Let me know. Thanks.

I will look through my stash tonight to see if I have one.

DrNRA · Nov 13, 2017

Sorry. I only have two DEN and they are both '42.

Raineman · Nov 14, 2017

No "DEN" in my corrosive SHTF stash, sorry

Thanks!

I appreciate all of the responses and efforts to find a cartridge for me. I will just "bite the bullet" and order one online. Thanks, Everyone! :thumbsup:
