A late milsurp Christmas present.

[Stevo]

My Dad brought gifts for more than just the grandkids when he came to visit.

Yes, they're all full.

 

[scruffee]

do you want a brother?? i already love your dad

 

[Stevo]

LOL, one brother is enough for me!

 

[desporterizer]

So uhh, are you going to shoot some of this stuff or are you just going to watch it pile up?

 

[next_of_kin]

Nice score! Sure beats getting socks and underwear

 

[Light Infantry]

So what is some of that? i can identify some but not all. In the middle on the right side, do i see an FN symbol?

 

[Architect_SA]

Some of that stuff in the top right I think I have. It hangfires like crazy. Post here if you get the same thing. Also those stripper clips will go for good money on the EE. Something to think about.

 

[Redlight35]

Kewl!

I'll trade you Dad's Stevo... I just got sweets! lol

 

[MapleSugar]

Man, you have a cool Dad!

Question: if you don't want another Brother, have you ever watched "The Changling?"

 

[MapleSugar]

BTW, what is in all the boxes?

I'm going to put it in with the rest of the hoard and just watch it grow.

Of course I'm going to shoot some of it.

Except for the battle pack of South African 7.62 NATO it's all .303 British. Mostly DI Mk 7. The blue rimmed box is Italian and the two small boxes with the FN label are marked as "Bren" ammo.

496 rounds of boxed .303 plus the stuff in the chargers and 140 rounds of 7.62 NATO ball. Sounds like a good Christmas to me.

Great score Stevo...saddest thing is, you get to shoot Ranger ammo and don't really need it eh???

I'm really curious about the Bren ammo in the FN boxes. Can we please see some detail photos of the labels?

 

[Drachenblut]

I am also curious of this "Bren" ammo. I recieved a box of Mk VIIz C Broad Arrow marked .303 ammo for Kickassmas, wonder how much an unopened box of it is worth?

 

[bearhunter]

cantom, I'm pretty sure the Rangers are issued current IVI ammunition. The stuff in those boxes is much earlier.

I haven't shot any of that in months, unfortunately. And it's only for use in the issue rifle.

I believe he was commenting that I don't really "need" .303 as I'm issued it with Rangers.

Here you go:

That almost looks like a box of Belgian or Dutch ammunition... interesting
