    Question about old WWII ammo.

    I grew up in the early Los Angeles punk scene, and found an old WWII bullet belt that I wore a few times as a belt. It has 74 rounds of live, 30-06 "WRA 42" marked.

    Does something like this have collector value?

    Thanks!

    Nope...Only to another person into punk fashion. Be careful...sales of live ammo I believe have to go thru a FFL

      Cool item, and cool that you wore live ammo. Problematic to sell in California unless ammo removed from belt. Diminishes value IMO.
      Probably not a high value collectible, but some collector would buy it for sure IMO.

          Oh dear, you’d be offering a high capacity magazine…..Cal DOJ agent is probably typing an offer to buy right now.

            A person that has the M1 .30 Cal Garand rifle may be interested in the ammo as it is Winchester ammo from WWII Maybe more interested if they also have a Winchester rifle from the same date. Value is probably no more than $1.00 a round however. Belt maybe $25-$35. These would be for display only and nothing to shoot.

              No...but you probably mean, Skrewdriver.

              I used to work on old bikes and cars, and used Screwdriver as a nickname on auto and motorcycle forums.

                Yeah, I know about needing to sell through an FFL. I have a done a couple sales through CalGuns already.

                    If you are anywhere near Fresno, I would be interested in some of the ammo to go with my Winchester enbloc clips.

                      The belt you refer to is it a linked belt that a machinegun would use, or is it a canvas belt?
