I couldn't resist just keeping it unopened.

[Rustship]

Your right, but I need a key to keep it complete.

Korean war or later.

I read of guys opening and shooting these. Someone must have a key laying around.

Here's some ammo boxes that will help narrow down the date. - Bob

Hi Rustship, I purchased all the back issues a couple of years ago when I joined the CC and made myself up an index as none came with the old issues until the recently published one. I got tired of trying to find answers thumbing page by page. Anyway I fine tuned it a little with reference to the manufacturers blocks and some point if interest. It is about four pages long, but doesn't have everything in it and will still require going through the listed NL's to find your info. It is a Word document and I don't mind sharing it. It took some time going through, but saves me a lot of time now. If one of the moderators would like me to email it to them, send me a PM with your email and you can decide if it is worthy for sticky material. It could be updated by anyone sending me a PM with additional listing and I could update the list for the moderator to post or not. Just a thought. John

I'll have to look around, I may have a key from some HXP laying around. I'll let you know if I find one.
