[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3805744, member: 45773"] I was out going thru a bunch of ammo and other gun stuff today and ran across some interesting stuff. Some really cool WWII era ammo and/or gun-related stuff. Here's a few of things I uncovered from their hiding places: Not WWII related but cool nevertheless. The PCA Spectrum is polymer .223 ammo. It actually worked quite well in everything I tried it in except a Golani. Almost without fail the case heads separated in that gun. In ARs, though, it was flawless and pretty damn accurate. It's loaded with a 69gr SMK bullet. And who doesn't need some Zombie ammo? Amirite? [ATTACH type="full"]282515[/ATTACH] I found this selection of different .30-06 ammo from WWII. A couple of different boxes of M2 Ball ammo, armor piercing stuff, blanks, tracers. Neat stuff. Most is headstamped between 1940 and 1945.
