I've had one of the carbine's and about 20 box's of ammo for about 25 year's now.
I'm going to be selling it all and was looking it all over.
What caught my eye was this ammo and the one stripper clip.
What can anyone tell me about these? I haven't done anything to them, what you see is how I bought it.

The ammo in the first clip is Hungarian - 1940 manufacture. The clip is the older M90 style (M95 clips have a large window in the sides).

The funky ammo is 1939 Bulgarian. I'm not sure about the funky ammo....as mentioned above, it could be an attempt to make hunting ammo - or it could be some obscure special purpose round...

The last round is 1939 Hungarian...
 
The bullet with the step is a bullet made with a 3 piece core and cut front jacket designed to break up and not ricochet on rifle ranges.
