linked 50 BMG ammo, no headstamp
Does anyone know about this stuff? I'm hesitant to buy some because bad ammo kills .50s.

totaly unmarked??? 0 -
I have bought a lot of .50 bmg but never seen it totally unmarked. Where is it offered for sale? 0 -
Not a direct answer to your question, but...
I don't care what anyone might claim to know about it, there's no way in hell I'd run mystery ammo such as this through one of my guns.0 -
If this is the stuff, it supposedly from Saudi Arabia.
I don't know how true this is? Years ago I ran across some Egyptian 9mm that had a similar appearance. Unless you can buy it cheap enough, I would be kind of wary.

nope. This is ball, with a nice collet crimp, on BMG links, Brass, not brass washed or anything like that, no goofy sealer. Looks like standard ball US made or FN ammo, but no markings whatsoever on the case head. Not remanufactured, no pull marks on projos. 0 -
why are you even contemplating buying this stuff? you have no way of knowing how it was loaded or buy who.
you dont mind blowing up your gun to save a few cents? or blowing half your face or hand off? i never understand people who are will to sacrifice theirs or anyone elses lives over a few cents. geeze! just spend the extra dollars and buy good ammo. i wouldnt take ANY ammo, even free, if i didnt know who made it.0 -
Look Dad, I asked a question because I wanted an answer, if I wanted a lecture, I would've called my real Dad. K?
And I can get it for 2 bucks a round. If it's something special for collectors, I'll sell it (at a profit, like the true capitalist swine that I am) and buy some "known quality" FN ammo...0 -
Post a pic of the headstamp!
That was a joke[:)]
I have been shooting 50s since before most readers here were born.
I have heard of this stuff on occasion.
Always 2nd hand

To me only useful as components0 -
you want someone to answer your question as to who made some 50 ammo with no headstamp. okay, let me consult my crystal ball! at 2.00 a round, it is no deal. at FREE, it is no deal. by all means, buy it, and re-sell it. when it blows up and severely injures or kills someone, guess who they are going to sue? some peoples lack of inteligence is really astounding! 0 -
I said "COLLECTOR".
Reading really is Fundamental. Now your stupidity is going to burn my 10 replies and I'm going to have to start this over.
Why do I even bother? Not having anything constructive to contribute never even fazes the human pez dispensers on GB forums. Someone posts something, the head start flapping.
Jesus wept.
(and thanks cpermd for at least trying to help) I'm gonna get one of the four round linked bits and post some pics, maybe even pull them a and see what's in 'em!0
