The following information was taken from a 1976 Gun Digest.
Non Corrosive primers US Military ammo 30-06 & 45 ACP Head Stamp Maker Changeover date Safe headstamps FA Franklin Arsenal 30-06--- October 1951 FA 52 ETC 45 ACP--- July 1954 FA 55 FCC Federal Cart Corp 45 ACP--- November 1953 FCC 54 DAQ Dominion Arsenal ALL Non Corrosive ALL VC ALL Non Corrosive ALL WRA Winchester 30-06 Ball-- August 1954 WRA 52 30-06 AP-- June 1954 WRA 52 45 ACP Novermber --1951 WRA 52 WCC Western 30-06--June 1951 WCC 52 45 ACP--November 1952 WCC 53 TW Twin Cities Arsenal 30-06 Ball-- December 1950 TW 51 30-60 AP-- Febuary 1952 TW 53 SL St Louis Ord Plant 30-06 Ball -- May 1952 SL 53 30-06 AP -- July 1952 SL 53 RA Remington Arms 30-06 November 1951 RA 52 45 ACP September 1952 RA 53 LA Lake City Arsenal 30-06 Ball-- June 1951 LC 52 30-06 AP--April 1952 ALL Military 30 Carbine, 9mm Luger, 38 Special with US headstamps have non-corrosive primers LC 53 The chart doesn't list the maker of "VC" headstamped ammo but here is link showing all military headstamp makers http://www.totse.com/en/bad_ideas/guns_and_weapons/headstmp.html VC is listed as: VC Verdun Arsenal, Canada - Under contract to US The article also lists Lake City as both LA and LC. All the headstamps I have seen from Lake City has been marked LC however since I haven't seen everything, they may have made some ammo headstamped LA The safe Headstamp date is when "for Sure" no more corrosive primers were used in the manufacture of Military ammo, by the respective manufactures The dates listed is when each Manufacture begin the change over from Corrosive primers to Non-Corrosive primers. IE: RA Remington Arms 30-06 November 1951 RA 52 11-51 is when they change from Corrosive to Non corrosive primers for 30-06 Ammo and the RA 52 headstamped ammo is a "for sure" headstamp that means no left over corrosive primers were used in the manufactured ammo A Survivial episode is just an unplanned adventure if you are prepared |
