    i'd load and shoot them unless the rims have bends cause they look like they ejected really hard

      I'd toss them. Looks like they ejected pretty hard. Were they shot out of a FAL?

        I have no clue .. I purchased these from a member n 9 of these look pretty bad. Range pickup he said.

        Will brass look like this if shot by ar10 type of rifle?

          If they fit in the chamber -- they are good -

            No, not normally. Could be an M-1A with a scope mount that the cases are hitting. It just looked to like it's from a FAL with the gas setting set closed a bit too much. They look in the photo to be hit pretty hard by a sharp edge.

            Since there's only a few of them, to be safe, I'd toss them in the salvage bin.

                If it's extremely sharp and looks nearly punctured, it's a bad thing. If it's just a dent, then it's no issue.

                If we assume it's a really really bad dent or near puncture...

                Cost of brass compared to cost of repairing a gun. Losing a handful of brass is no big deal.

                If these were some sort of extreme rarity, i'd still worry about them because if the brass is rare, how rare are replacement parts for the gun?

                  Imo, it's not worth the risk.

                            I can all but guarantee that they were fired from a Saiga 308.
