usmce4 Posted October 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2017 INCREDIBLE!!! These things find ME, I don't find them. Picked this bad boy up today at the Oaks PA Gun Show!!!! This is the 2nd one I've been lucky enough to acquire. And this one has been sealed in the can since 1945 - looks like they were made last week.

usmce4 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share #12 Posted October 8, 2017 The dealer had these too....... .30 Incendiary and API. But after he got my money for the belt of .50's he wasn't so desperate and wanted too much for these - had he shown them to me before I would have insisted on a package deal Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody has any of the .30 Incendiaries or API they'd care to part with - I'm interested. Clips or singles, either one would be fine.

KRIS FORD Posted January 20, 2018 Share #14 Posted January 20, 2018 INCREDIBLE!!! These things find ME, I don't find them. Picked this bad boy up today at the Oaks PA Gun Show!!!!

I've fired a few dozen cans of .50 from a M2 when in was Weapons Dept on CVN-73! These look cleaner than what we were shooting in the early 90's (which was probably from the 70's LOL..

hirsca Posted June 15, 2021 Share #15 Posted June 15, 2021 Great find. Congrats. What is the current law concerning owning vintage/WW2 AP ammo? I live in Texas. Thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn Posted June 15, 2021 Share #16 Posted June 15, 2021 nice find, shows that going to shows one can find time capsule treasure now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverplate Posted June 15, 2021 Share #17 Posted June 15, 2021 That is a nice find. Here are photos of an identical box that I saw at the Knob Creek machinegun shoot on a dealer table, several years ago. Another dealer had individual sealed boxes of .50 Caliber API. You can still find good stuff if you're persistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
