Help identifying ammo!

[M3Inline6]

Due to a death in family, I’ve acquired some ammo that I do not need. Some of it has been identified as 30-06 and 270 WIN, but I’m unsure what the other calibers are and I’m hoping some CalGuns members can assist me. I’ve attached photos of what is in both ammo cans.

The stuff 8rds together in a clip is 30-06 for M1 garands and the linked “ammo” looks to be 308 blanks.

That linked ammo is considered a high capacity magazine in CA.

The blanks might could be '06 also, for a 1919 Browning. Compare a cartridge from the clips to a linked cartridge, in length from the base to the shoulder. .308 will be noticeably shorter.

Not yet.

Might be the terrible picture quality but the linked stuff doesnt look like real ammos to me. Kinda looks like something you would get at the Halloween Store.

I’m a LEO, so that doesn’t really apply to me. I also am not interested in jamming anybody up either. If anybody has use for it I’m going to sell it.

Are you gonna sell the Garand clips? Some clips alone, minus the ammo are highly collectable

[seabee1]

we threw thousands of those damn blanks out in 29 Palms and Camp Pendleton, dirtiest jamming **** ever!

I am. Any reasonable offer will be entertained. If I can help out some CalGunners, I’ll sell it to them.

You can sell 10 links at a time or to someone out of state I guess.

Put in sale section and post a price per forum rules if you wish to sell. Do not solicit offers on this forum

That is my plan. I just didn’t know what exactly I had, so I wanted a little help before I list(ed) it.

If more than ten rounds are linked, then yes. The state of California defines a large capacity magazine as "any ammunition feeding device with a capacity to accept more than 10 rounds."

It applies if you attempt to sell, transfer, or give them away. I suppose you could transfer them to another LEO, but legally you cannot even sell them to someone out of state. Break them up into 10 round sections, and all is good. Sell them to a "regular joe" in a belt that is greater than 10 rounds, and you will be jamming someone up.

The belted ammo looks like 7.62 blanks for an M60.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.

Blanks don’t need a background check in CA and are not considered live Ammo.
(When blanks become illegal in ca, expect a lot of arrests at track and field events as starting guns are now illegally possessing Ammo at schools and discharging a firearm in public.)


The 1st pick looks like 308 blanks in m60 links.
As not loaded Ammo/ I don’t see it as being illegal in CA.

I don’t think you are in CA anyways
