Unknow factory code

[mogway]

several times, I saw ammunition manufactured by the company "BMP"
It is this company, its origin and meaning of the letters "BMP"?
This company may be PRB but why BMP.
Does "BMP" would not be translated into Flemish ?



Thank you

MOGWAY

Hi Mogway,

You must known that PRB filed for bankruptcy and other manufacturors have taken the manufacturing of earlier PRB ordnance.
Example : the Frag Gren M72 is now made by Mecar.

I don't known who is BMP !

To my files it is
"Poudreries Runies de Belgique / Socit Anonyme
PRB, Brussels"

In France it would be:
"STE BERNARD, RUEIL-MALMAISON (HAUTS-DE-SEINE)"

In the US:
- Batavia Metal Products, Batavia, NY
- BEAUMONT PRECISION PRODUCT MACHINING INC, Beaumont, CA

Thank you, but I'm sure it's not a French or American manufacture

Today, I finally found what it means BMP and also LAR. Is the company PRB but for contracts abroad
BMP: Belgian Military Product
LAR: Libyan Arab Republic (Libyan contract)

LAR: Libyan Arab Republic (Libyan contract)

Is there a source for this information?
