Mystery Ammo!! Check these out!

[Tyroma]

Hey Gang...

I was sorting through some old ammunition and I found a few strange ones.

Take a look and see if you can identify them. The vernier in the background is showing the actual size of the bullet diameter.

The first one is a tiny little bottle shaped round. Nothing stamped on the case.


This one is odd. Looks like 32ACP, but look at the primer and case back. Is this for a toy gun or replica?

 

[Snider shooter]

First one is 297-300 Morris which was used in 577-450 and 303 British with chamber inserts for indoor 25 yard practice.
Second is a berdan primed case without primer.

 

[tiriaq]

First one is a .297/.230 Morris Short.

I think the second is a 6mm. Bergmann, Clement? Just guessing.

 

[MiG25]

Second is an insert to shoot 22LR in a Tokarev.

 

[tiriaq]

It is about a quarter of an inch in diameter, is straight cased, and has a Berdan primer pocket.

WAAAAA????
Not even remotely close. It appears to simply be a .25ACP dummy. I can't read the headstamp to ID the maker, but it looks like it might be Belgian or German.

Being a machinist for 37 years, i am wondering about the vintage of that mitutoyo vernier. That must be a classic never seen one with that logo. sorry, nevermind me, as you were.

 

[Tyroma]

Bravo, Gents! I knew someone would know.

As for the vernier, Erkel1, it was my fathers. He started as a tool and die maker in the mid-60’s.

Nope. The inserts for a Tokarev 7.62x25 take the .22 cartridge in the back where a primer would normally go.

We have a few old guys at work that have verniers with that logo on it. Im going to guess mid 80's as my manager has a set and he got them in school and has been out for just over 30 years now.

Back in the day, these were considerably less money than Starrett; now Mitutoyo seem to be the industry standard.

Yeah it seems so. I have a mix of both types my self all my mics and dials are starrett and my digi calibers and small machining tools are mitutoyo (edge finder, protractor, telescopic gagues, combo square)

At work all the tools bought around ten years ago and older were/are all sterrett and now all the newer tools are mitutoyo lately. Tried a few other brands but for dayily use they just dont cut it. Starrett and mitutoto are what to use, unless you are starting out and can find some OLD More and Wright for cheap. Or other made in England/Europe tools.

Most of us here

Second is an insert to shoot 22LR in a Tokarev.

how do you figure to put the .22 shell inside? second, after you get the .22 inside, how do you figure to chamber the non bottle neck cartridge into the tok chamber?

 

[Got Juice?]

This one will prove difficult for almost everyone. And yes this is genuine ammunition.
