One round at a time...

Boxcab · Dec 21, 2015

I was given some old ammo through an interesting string of circumstances. I have some ideas what they are, but I am not sure. I'll post them here one at a time to see if the "collective" can help me out.

Round #1, (Scale is mm)

iH8DemLibz · Dec 21, 2015

8x56 Mannlicher for the M95 rifle.

Looks like 8mm kurz.

No clue but that head stamp is cool (no I'm not a nazi).

I'm gonna hijack......apologies in advance.

To those that know about the headstamp......is this ammo rare (not caliber but ammo itself) and is most of this style ammo headstamped like the OPs photo.

BTW I think it's really cool!!!

Mine was $13 a box of 10 in enblocs
5 per enbloc
At a gun show. He had plenty
It's worth about $1 a round or less by themselves .
Factory PPU that is reload able and noncorrosive is about $18/20 at shows

Agreed it's Romanian 8mm and the 1955 vintage seems to be the only year I have seen except for the 1970's steel case stuff.

Some of the 8mm bullets had a bit of a wasp waist specifically for the heavy crimp.

Yep I had one of these rifles at one time. Nice straight pull bolt gun. The ammo was cool and not hard to find.
