Da 52 ?

[Baribal]

The '52-made DAC is not that rare, but certainly not common.
It carries a 7mm bullet (0.2835")

Here is another example,

Then it evolved to;

Then, the "real" NATO thing;

All three together;

You can see therE's a slight difference in bullet shape between the '52 and the '54..

The '52-made 7.62X51is not that rare, but certainly not common.

The 52 above is 7mm. Does anyone have a 52 in 7.62?

 

[Baribal]

CanAm, it was my mistake, it's indeed a 7mm.

NP, I thought maybe you had another side shot. I am interested in seeing the oldest run of 7.62 at DA.

The 52 above is 7mm. Does anyone have a 52 in 7.62?

If you are referring to a DAC 52 in 7.62?

Probably not, but I probably have a FA 52 in my junque.

The FN 54 7.62 cartridge illustrated is one of the @500,000 rounds ordered from FN with the Ex1 & Ex2 rifles in 1953.

They are fairly common to find.

I have 5, 7.62 dummy rounds marked 54, DA C /l\
They have an extra crimp on the neck unlike newer manufactured ammo. Now I have the Ex1 butt stock, pistol grip, bayonet, mag, some early 7.62 ammo, and dummy rounds.
