May 14May 14 #1 also designated as 7.62mm K Mle 1950. The Caissette Mle 1954 container, Lot Number 122-AVE-63, packed in 1963, remains unopened with its original pull-tab intact. Inside, you'll find 16 internal boxes, each containing 50 rounds of brass-cased ammunition. The can itself shows excellent vintage condition with clear stenciling and a legible paper and label, exhibiting only minor storage wear consistent with its age. A true collector's gem that's increasingly hard to find in its original, unopened state. If you plan to fire this ammo, be aware that French surplus from this era typically uses corrosive primers, so standard corrosive-cleaning procedures for your firearm are recommended."
May 14May 14 Author #2 I kind of messed up the previous post it was my very first time. I had a couple questions about this spam can with this ammo one with the MLB the corrosive primers does that make it more valuable and two is there any way to tell if this is part of NATO surplus ammo? Thank you for your patience
July 11Jul 11 #3 What I know, all the French stuff is corrosive primers making it worth about nothing. I have a bag full of this stuff and I can't give it away. Nobody out there with an M1 Carbine is willing to shoot the stuff ( hard to properly clean the corrosive salts from the Carbine internals). Mine are headstamped VE-BD and VE-N. Also, they non reloadable, Berdan primed. I guess someone can pull the projectiles and reload them. You can pull up a search on the reloading / mil surp ammo blogs, I cant even give the stuff away.
