<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heade, post: 10185353, member: 90292&quot;]Yes, SBMC was a Phillippine company now known as ARMSCOR.

But it is common for military contract ammo to have a two-digit date for the year because they stockpile the stuff and want to know how old it is. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what cartridges the British (assumedly British) used in 1978 -- probably 5.56 or 7.65 NATO. It is hard to tell because it was pretty clearly smooshed somehow to flatten it where the hole is drilled for the safety pin. A really odd charm or souvenir to carry around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
