And last but not least, this 20 round box of 7.62x39. Rounds are "Sterile". Don't know much about them. Cheers, Bruce.

Very nice, you got some from Bell Lab.. If I recall it right they were for Central America or clandestine. The Lake City (for Cambodia/SEA) ones are more common.
 
Jon, the FA made ones certainly not. The had the hs to be omitted as per special request after the 1st lot was delivered with hs. Certainly also used for training but the intention must have been different. I think we had the subject covered on IAA and some people there may know much more.
