Milspec 5.56 ammo in Canada?

[CanAm]

Only CBC I know is Brazil. But in 1943, who knows. The bad batch of 7.62 came from brazil.

i will check the label the next chance i get, off the top of my head the label is marked "sS" amoung other things. packed 100 rounds to a box.

i have been saving the cases, it is either boxer primed or berdan with one flash hole (i have heard of this but never seen it).

 

[CanAm]

Yes, SS is the German marking for 7.92mm, I forget which bullet weight. I suppose you could use one offset flash hole with a Berdan primer, but I have yet to see it done. It may have been done during the war to lower tooling/production costs.

the label is definately not in german. i thought it strange that the spanish would use the german sS designation (198 grain?) on their ammo.

 

[CanAm]

Most manufacturers used the German codes as the round is German, especially during the war.

CBC is from Brazil. They are not invloved in the bidding.
