WW2 wooden .303 ammo

[truenorth777]

inherited a baggy of about 40 rounds of WW2 era .303 training ammo with wooden bullets, along with some blanks. does anybody know if these are of any value to collectors?
or should i just pull the wood [doh! that doesn't sound right...] and use the brass for reloads?

 

[Hightrailtracker]

NO , do not Pull your wood out , I don't know the collector value so wait till more input from other more knowledgeable CGN members reply to your question.

 

[fireball]

Those are collector bits so display your wood proudly!

Wooden blanks, IIRC.

Don't disassemble them, no point! Place on shelf and enjoy...

i appreciate the sentiments, but i'm not really much of a collector and have a project or two i'm short of funds on, hence to question about value...

You anywhere near Vancouver?
If so, I'll trade you clean once fired brass for them.

 

[JimDO]

[tootall]

wow! Thats someones fine collection you inherited!
When you said a bag of blanks, I naturally assumed they would all be the same batch.

Probably worth as much if not a lot more than fresh factory rounds here in the states.

Dont shoot them. They are worth from $1 to $2 each as collector pieces. The ones that are stained and have glued in tops are grenade launching blanks. The wood are machine gun blanks.
