Kevin Bartlett Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I tried posting on the ammo board but couldn't. I found some more M1 carbine ammo in my stash. The box is marked Interarms MW-938. The cartridge is marked 1-62 at 12 o'clock, BD at 3 o'clock, 7.62 at 6 o'clock and VE at 9 o'clock. Can anyone tell me what I've got and is it corrosive? Thanks, Kevin in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy H Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 The ammo board is a Market Board ....... For selling ....... Not asking questions. this is the correct board for general ammo questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- VE is a known French code ..... The French used a lot of US M 1 Carbines right after WWII probably repackaged by Interarms If it is French ...... It IS corrosive France Note: French headstamps mark the 1-digit Quarter of the year of production and 2-digit Year at the 12-o'clock position (e.g. Q-YY), the letter code for the metal supplier for the case at the 3-o'clock position, the cartridge caliber and model at the 6-o'clock position, and the manufacturer at the 9-o'clock position. VE Cartoucherie de Valence Valence, France. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
