Surplus Spam Can Marking - Possibly M2 Garand Ammo

**rcathey** · 06-20-2019 03:08 PM

Hi all.

Just picked up a couple of these from an online auction.
Any one recognize the mark on this can? I'm not convinced it actually has M2 in clips as shown but we will see.

Thanks!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

That must be a record for a response time.
Very much appreciated!

Also good to know. At $100 a can (give or take, including shipping), I can handle some extra cleaning.

This came in yesterday. I decided to open one can - the crustier one.
It is indeed 30-06 on en-bloc clips. Ammo is clean and bright. Clips are pretty heavily parked.
Happy with this buy!

Let us know how they work, clips could be tight though. Maybe a scuff of scotchbright on the outside if they are...
