Online Auction - Mystery Ammo?

[ed skeels]

The other night browsing an auction site I ran across a genuine Sniper Trigger Housing for a A3. Hmmmmm.

Training ammo where you don't have the thousands of meters distance for safety. They will kill close up, can't remember the precise distance but might be up to 50m. Quite accurate too. The bullet won't travel more than a couple of hundred meters.

I don’t even own a .308

They're available...

but what is/was the purpose of the round

Inside joke here, we've had several threads about them here where they were supposed to be some wonder bullet. I had an individual tell me just a few days ago about how they were a special sniper round...I just nodded...

Well, I don't know about those Israeli wooden bullets but, the ones I have ( I shot some) were so corrosive you could almost see my FAL rust right before your eyes. I shot about 5 rounds, set my FAL in the corner and the next morning the gas block was covered with rust. I didn't know if I was going to be able to disassemble my gas block.

Al,
Well that doesn't help the profit margin!! Haha.

Jsne,
Thanks for following along. This was an enjoyable mystery for me too even if it didn't quite work out as planned.

Everyone else,
I have another mystery on the way. It MIGHT just be a Garand sniper. The serial number is obscured so I can't be certain yet. I will be posting about that too.

Finally, here's some pics!

Nope, the wooden bullet ones just like the ones above.
