LWaali · 10-11-2012, 04:41 PM

Hi Folks, Still trying to complete inventory.. I have an unopened spam can of what I believe (with my failing memory) to be m1 Garand ammo. I am curious to find out the country, year (54?), and if it err umm attracts a magnet so to speak.

Complete marking of can:

DO NOT USE AS FOOD CONTAINER
192 CARTRIDGES
CAL .30 BALL M2
8RND CLIPS
BANDOLEERS
LOT TW41654

Going through a lifetime of military gun collecting so I may be asking about some common and obscure guns in the next few weeks but you all here seem to be the most knowledgeable and not full of hot air like a lot of forums.

If anyone is interested in anything I mention, pop me a note.. most is going to eventually go for sale.. I need to get down to a small safe and only a dozen different types of ammo.
