Hi all,
I have a question regarding British 5.56mm blank headstamps.
Pictured, is one of each consecutive year from 2010-2019, I’m intrigued by the variations over the years.
In 2013, SCAMP dots were introduced on the cartridges. I have only found this on 2013 and 2014 dated cartridges, and the presence of SCAMP dots ‘carry over’ to the other types of RG 5.56mm and also 7.62mm blank and ball produced in the same two years. In 2015 the SCAMP dots are gone and there’s a smaller font up to the present production. Again, this ‘carries over’ to the other types.
I’ve searched for SCAMP information on the IAA, very interesting indeed, but nothing regarding Radway Green pacifically.
Could anyone enlighten about the background of these headstamp variations in RG production? Could the SCAMP years be of American supply and what of the font variation of recent years?
Any information would be greatly received. Many thanks, indeed!
Best regards,
Simon
