I was selling at a gun show this last week... I sell mostly reloading components, & my table neighbor asked to put some loaded 30 carbine ammo in stripper clips on my table next to my 30 carbine brass, to get better exposure, as he was selling AR components...
they were steel cases, with a Lake City headstamp ( sorry, I didn't write down the year )... about half of them were starting to corrode, but half to 3/4 of them looked shootable... they had a yellowish cast on top of what almost looked like galvanize... I've never seen "vintage" US manufactured steel cased 30 carbine ammo... so I assume it was not common...
they didn't sell, & thus went back to him after the show... I wasn't interested in offering him anything for them... should I have ??? would they be collectable for the cartridge collection guys???
