    L4 Firing Pin Mark

    Hi,

    Could someone confirm my suspicion that fired Britishicon 7.62x51mm NATO cases with an ovoid shaped firing pin mark on the primer were fired by an L4?

    I ask as I picked up a belt of fired 7.62 blanks at a car boot sale a few months ago and it included about 5 blanks with an ovoid pin mark.

    (I actually bought it as the belt included a few nice WWII dated .303in drill rounds that had been stuck in for some reason)

    The blanks are all Radway Green L13A1 dated between 1977-80 so I assume they're the right era?

    Thanks,

    Mark
