That long 30-30 type neck caught my eye and yet the bullet diameter appears larger like a 32 caliber. Being rimless and with stripper clip I believe
your cartridge is the 32 Remington used in the Remington Model 30 bolt action ?
Robert
.35 Remington, used in the Remington Model 8 & 81 semi-auto rifles, the FN semi-auto rifle, and other models?
The neck is way too long to be a 35 Remington
Correct on the rifles. There may be others but these were the two I had in mind.Quote:

Remington model 8 and 81 came in among others, 30 cal. This is the FMJ for that and that's the 5 rd charger clip for the built in charger guide...?
Jim nailed it. They're .30 Remington and the clip was used with the Models 8 & 81, possibly others.
Also the .30 Remington was the parent case for the 10mm Auto and 6,8x43 SPC cartridges.

This might be a difficult quiz as these two cartridges are both US wildcats. They were both used in the same weapon - as converted to use them and used the same magazine
.22 Spitfire and .30 Kurz used in modified U.S. M1 carbines
How about 5.7 MMJ and .30 Kurz? Both for the M1 Carbine...I see I'm a bit late entering...
You guys sure got the right answer, and right away too. I saw a 30 Kurz conversion of the M1 carbine back in the 70's, had a new longer barrel
installed and the bolt face opened-up. I thought it was too much for that carbine action and would never even consider shooting one. The Johnson
and similar 22/30M1 carbine conversions work out without much trouble (3000 fps from a 40 gr bullet). Another conversion was the Vulcan pump
action M1 carbine in 44 Magnum !
That 30 Kurz sure is a neat looking little round. Wonder how much it has in common with the new-ish 30 Remington AR cartridge.
Saw a Inland carbine at a gun show 7 or 8 years ago in .41 Magnum, IIRC the original barrel had been bored to .41 cal and it was still a semi auto.
There was a guy supposedly converting carbines to .45 Win Mag about 25 years ago but I've never ran across one.
I'd like to see what the 30 Kurz would be like in the AR platform.

Photo shows the 5,56x30mm (30 Kurz is 7,62x33mm) new third world
design. Really too small for the AR system
Yup. It would get lost in there.Quote:
