[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Name that brass

Posted: 8/14/2011 6:07:28 PM EDT

On my evening walk tonite, I found a piece of 1954 LC brass, it looks like it is a .38 special. but I do not have any .38 specials to compare it with, and not sure LC manufacture any .38 special. I have it in between a 5.56 and 9mm round.

Does anyone know the caliber

30 carbine.

LC 54 may be Chinese manufactured.

Is it berdan or boxer primed?

Thanks,

It is a boxed primer, I don't have my dial indicator handy. Tomarow I can take measurements

Don I thought L.C. was Lake City

Correct, but the Chinese manufactured some "fake" 30 carbine with the LC head stamp. Also, I had some Yugo manufactured 9x19mm ammo head stamped "LC 9x19".

Since what you have is boxer primed, it is safe to say it is true Lake City.

Thanks,

.30 carbine

And since it's boxer primed, confidence is high that it's legit LC.

No rim, no .38.
