Was looking thru some ammo I had stashed and found this sealed can of Garand ammo. Sold all my Garands years ago and can't remember info on this ammo. All help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry, just now saw this thread. Without seeing the head stamp, I'd lean toward Remington Arms as the manufacturer. If the head stamp were to say something like RA42, then it'd be Rockford Arsenal, but if the number starts in the 50s, then it'd be Remington. Be advised however, that the lot number shown on your spam can indicates the primers are corrosive; the lowest known RA lot number that probably contains non-corrosive primers is 33853 (November 1951), with the earliest confirmed safe head stamp being RA 52.
