Frankford Arsenal Match Brass
BIG OLD BILL
Member Posts: 180 ✭✭✭
Can anyone tell me how rare is Frankford Arsenal 308 Match Brass? I ran into a small amount while preparing some Lake City 308 Match brass and checked Wikipedia and they stated that only a small amount was ever produced. If it is rare enough I probably will put it up at auction so some collector can get it.

I don't know where Wiki gets their information but I understand that anything that's on the Internet is true.[;)]
Frankford Arsenal manufactured 7.62mm M118 Match from 1961 until 1965. They made about 30 lots. Typically, a lot of Match would be about 1 million rounds. You'd have to decide for your self if that's rare or not. Sealed 20-round boxes of FA are collectable but not like winning the lottery. $20 to $25 per box.

What year is the headstamp??

FWIW I sold a sealed box of LC Match from '68 for $25 at a gun show back in October, before any panic buying, shortages, etc.
I have a can of Frankford International Match,the boxes are marked Ball T275E2, Lot FA 4,and dated 1956

That ammo is a little more rare than the regular 7.62mm Match. Maybe worth an extra $5 to $10 per box.

The Frankford cases are dated 1963 and the Lake City ones are dated 1964 and 1972 on the 50 or 60 that I checked.
