Received a box of ammo in the mail.

Bought it from a guy liquidating an estate. It contained 400 pieces of head stamped -20 ammo. 210 pieces of .25-20, 150 pieces of 218 Bee and 40 pieces of .32-20. For less than 250 bucks. What was wierd was he included a magazine that I have no idea what it goes to and a Nazi stamped round of ammo.
I guess its 8mm.

Sorry they are posted sideways. Any guesses?

I've got some of it still in boxes. Never thought much about it.

Had a old straight pull steyr rifle years ago. Used to buy boxes of that ammo in stripper clips. Shot hundreds of rounds. Was cheap 20 years ago.

The magazine looks to me a 5 round M1 mag.

Magazine is for an M1 carbine. - short magazine for hunting prob holds 5 rounds. It's made from cutting down a GI 15 magazine. You can see the rather crude work at the bottom.
