Hi,
A couple of questions:
Are LC Blank Cal. .30 M1909 cartridges corrosive? Box is marked LC-11E778-005 (head stamp LC 71).
We present fired cases to NOK with the flag, and I noticed a case that was split at the top and nicked on the rim. It was marked AMA 81, while all of the others are LC 71. I counted crimps and it is a blank. Any comments?
I'm tearing down our rifles (M1's) one at a time. They are for our VFW Honor Guard. Lots of work. It's been a long time since they were torn down for cleaning and I'm doing the ones that need the most work first. The CMP has been great - sending parts for them. A problem has been that the gas cyl's. are too loose. I'm waiting to hear from the CMP about that, as I won't be peening them. Some of the rifles still have original leather slings (steel hooks), but they are dried out and not really serviceable for use any more. I'm converting to new issue cotton web slings - looks nice with our dress green uniforms.
Thanks,
Dave
