Greek M1 Ammo - clip marking
« on: May 18, 2011, 12:57:28 PM »
To those of you who have have the Greek M1 Garand ammo on M1 enbloc clips - what are the clip marking you are seeing? Reports are US markings (SA, WRA, IS2, BRW 4 etc) and some Europe made clips (JMO 71, MBZ, HA ) but have there been any with Greek markings or ones previously unknown (see http://members.bellatlantic.net/~wolfsrus/clips/clips.html). Thanks!

Call Duane at D&J Enterprises in Caldwell. 208-455-1130 (he is gone for the rest of this week).
 He has the definitive collection of M1 en bloc clips. I have the list of all of the different ones made, but he has the display.
