556 Blank Identification

[kmk1012]

I can't find any info on this headstamp of blanks. Came as a package deal with 900 blanks on stripper clips, upper receiver and well as a cab cannon and golf ball launcher. I'd like to know a little more about them.

So a search shows that they are Danish made and that they may also use berdan primers instead of boxer primers. The 10 is the year the brass was made and possibly the whole cartridge.

The headstamp is AMA correct?

Yes, with a 10

Also I should note, that a 556 blank will blow the head right off a cottonmouth in a North Carolina swamp when you're in the service and they send you through the swamp on a map course. Sometimes the snakes get in your way when you're trying to shoot an azimuth. They can be kind of aggressive and nasty at certain times of the year.

From a search on the web, "AMA = Danish Government Arsenal (Ammunitionsarsenalet) Copenhagen, Denmark. It's berdan primed and non-corrosive."
Looks like I might have to learn to reload Burden primed ammo..... or make my own.

Came as a "kit" with a stripped AR upper w/can cannon attached, and a golf ball launcher. The 900 blanks came on stripper clips in a new 50 cal ammo can. All for $263 including shipping. I've always been curious about these and think the company put the wrong price on the package. Can't even buy the blanks for that $$ from what I see.

Where did you get it?

Where did you get it?

I posted a link in the "great deals" section the day I ordered it. Several people jumped on board before the link was removed. I really think someone made a pricing mistake as at double that price I fewl would be good. At least they honored it.

Ohh...that sounds fun. I used to carry a 203. Nobody else in the platoon wanted to carry it because it was heavy. But it was fun about every 3 months when I went out to qualify with it

Just one is all you need - just ask Jon-Erik Hexum

No problem. I will add, that the blanks I received was boxer primed so I am saving them to reload.
