Fresnel OberFeldwebel Fresnel OberFeldwebel Huh... that's odd. I wouldn't shoot the last one. I've been told it's just a wax sealant to keep the powder from getting wet. I took a knife and it cuts like wax, so I'm inclined to believe that. I'm probably not going to shoot any of those unless I HAVE to, just for the novelty value. Yeah, if they are from the '40s I wouldn't shoot them either. Might make a nice display if you get any other WWII British stuff. I shot two dozen rounds of it before I realized it wasn't Wolf. gonk
Eep!
You know it's corrosive right? gonk |

The thing's ******** adamantium or something. But yeah, I boiled it just in case.
