Yet ANOTHER kick Butt Military find by me!

JnRockwall

Ok, found this today thought it was sort of neat. Certainly not something you find every day. At least I don't think so... Hope not!

While at Mr Lee's I noticed an ammo box of sorts under a cardboard box acting as a trash can for candy wrappers. So I dug it out and
here is what I found:











Any guesses?

torosapo

Give away maybe?[8D] You're a rich man now.[:D]

Riomouse911

Maybe "parade 21 gun salute" or grenade launching loads?

Waco Waltz

I don't know but if it were me I'd have a gun smith make something that would fire it [:D]

CDMead

What's the headstamp?

Does it appear to be similar to a 30 carbine?

select-fire

My guess is corrosive.

JnRockwall

Toro- I am thinking $55 per 100. Far from rich, but they are not just blanks, they must shoot a pretty good flame to ignite those flares.

Rio- Pretty close, they are used for launching parachute flares from the Garand.

Waco- They do! It's called a Garand!

CDM- It looks like FN 58, no it is 30-06.

SF- It's 1958 production, were they still using corr primers in 58?

I got one of the flares the other day, but it's still sealed. I didn't post it because I figured showing you all a sealed paper tube would get me roasted. [:D][:D]

If they will launch a flair, will they launch a grenade?
If so, I want some![:p]

Only ammo I've seen somewhat like that would be Blanks, (crimped).

JnRockwall

Tom-
I will find out for you tomorrow.

torosapo

I have some grenade launching blanks in 308 but the case is plastic of some kind with a metalic base. I was selling them for $12.50 for box of 50 at gunshows and flea markets.

Tom they are in fact grenade and flare launchers. Your email is broken again.

ATHOMSON

That is nifty stuff, but I like the box.

Txs

US M3 grenade round equivalent.

JnRockwall

It's a nice box. I will say it's 12x12x6. The empty box weighs about the same as the contents. It's a tough dude.

NOAH

Got some of those but in 7.62x51 ( 308 ) about 500 rnds (: on m60 belt.

but i don't have any 30-06 ):

JnRockwall

Well, you need a box of 30-06. I have 2 boxes sold already (people off the net) and I haven't even listed them yet.

Where is sparty? He is usually on this like a bird on a june bug
