I just got some linked 30-06 that I would like some help Identifying. I have two cloth belts of about 200 rds each. I am guessing they are for a M1919 MG.
One belt all rounds have a head stamp of
FN 74
The other belt all the rounds have a head stamp of
FNB 30 80
All ammo and belts are in very good shape, the belt with the FN 74 is missing every 5th round which would be tracer. I know the FN I am assuming would be for Fabrique Nationale but the FNB has me stumped.
Also the metal starter tab on one belt has this on it
30 IN MKI
QV62
The other one is blank metal on both sides
And last but not least the always persistent question, corrosive or not? Not that I care, I will shoot it either way, just want to clean correctly if need be. And you don’t want to know how much I paid for it because you will be green with envy!
