Lost on the Origin of This Headstamp

[Shane Tuttle]

I tried to find the origin of a piece of .45ACP brass. Never came across it until now.

Anyone know what designation of "AMTC" is?

Thanks. But, I'm not so sure that answers it. The members there contradicted what each thinks the origin is.

Amtech's headstamp, suggested in that thread, is AMTECH on the casehead. Ammotech is AMT, without the C. So you can eliminate those two guesses. Other than that, I'm no help. Haven't run into it.

That's my conclusion, so far. I don't think it's either of those.

The hunt continues...

it's strictly circumstantial evidence so far, but in image searches I have seen a couple of pics of that headstamp associated with GECO Whitebox. I tried looking for manufacturers in and around Hungary, but I haven't come up with anything as of yet that might lead to one of them using AMTC as a headstamp.

Welp, I have to admit that I'm glad I'm stumping the best of the members. Makes me feel a little better...
