Follow up on a thread running last week. FSAAP was advertising 8MM ammo that had been reprimed and reassembled. At .44 cents a round, I had to buy some. I got the ammo today. On the surface, everything looks great.
Headstamps appear mixed, mostly "hrn ST 14 41" and '04 60' The primers have all ben heavily staked and there is NO corrosion on the cases. I can see trace amounts of laquer on the comm bloc looking headstamps (04 60) Whats REALLY odd is every case has been laser etched '8x57 IS FA' Im not sure why, maybe a regulatory thing. They did make a very specific point of saying they stand behind this ammo 100% and maybe thats why they marked it (so some goon doesn't try and return bad surplus ammo) What can you guys tell me about these head stamps-
