ammo ID ? brass case FMJ from 188
Author: StG44	©	September 12, 2000 at 02:37:21

went to a local gun show & had fun

shopping for 54R. I found some stuff

in yellow paper boxes labeled in best German "Munition fuer
Sportgewehr, hergestellt in UdSSR" (ammo for sporting

rifle, made in USSR). No other ID.

It's brass case, FMJ, and the factory code is 188, can't
remember the date

(60's or 80's). No tip color.

Can anyone ID: - bullet weight - primer corrosiveness -
other type (LPS, D, etc.)

Is this East German or West ? (Given

the case date I guess East ?)

Thanks guys! StG44

(BTW, pardon the raggedy formatting on my posts - my
combination of Netscape X fonts seems to be the culprit.)
