Which ever I could sell for the most so I could buy cartridges. I don't feel like reloading with 100k bullets.

100k green tips? I'd fill a room with loose rounds and roll around like Uncle Scrooge. Probably put on eye protection first though. Pointy.

Until now, I assumed anytime I saw "M995" it was just a typo for "M855."

I brought home a D30 shell and an Afghan Martini.

Most of my issue ammo in Afg was M855 maybe 15% was M855A1.

Oh, man I'm jealous:  The D30 shell is a major score* and I hunted and hunted (circa 2005) for a MH but determined that they were all fakes.  And I wasn't willing to pay the going price ($500 or so) for a firearm I couldn't shoot.

I don't even know if they still have the Saturday bazaar in KAF...always forget to check.

* I once saw a guy get his D30s denied by customs even though they had been turned into (drinking) steins.

My best score:  a piece of T55 track.  The customs guy was going through my stuff, looked right at me and said "you can't take ship that war trophy".  I said OK and put it right back in the box it came out of and he didn't say anything.

D30 we spent some time getting pre-cleared and made sure it  was justifiably a legitimate war souvenir. For the Martini, I'm half an expert in Martinis and could tell the legitimate ones from the fakes and scored a really good Afghan 1st pattern Martini Infantry Martini Rifle for about $120. I'm restoring it and have a tread in the C&R forum. It's one of the better examples in the U.S.

Good on you!  I figured the good ones were all gone; did you just get when you were here last?

I tied on the MHs; beyond the backwards "N" I had a pretty good idea of what to look (out) for but never found one I was comfortable pulling the trigger on.

I may have to make one my "final" souvenir...tat and the war rug I still don't have.

I got it my most recent tour to Afg. I was specifically looking for an Afghan made Martini made in the 1800's for the Royal Afghan Army.

They were made in an arms factory operated by an Englishman in Kabul.
