Warbird Information Exchange

a man in lorain ohio not far from me opened up his dad's war booty bring backs from ww 2 this past week to find a live u.s. infantry mortar shell in his keepsakes. with the ww 2 vets dying at the rate of roughly 1000 per day, you have to be careful when scrounging through your relative's estate. I bought a box lot of a variety of ww2 items at an auction a few years back only to find a live ww2 .50 caliber tracer / incendiary round when I got the box home, complete w/ red tip. shook the round, & sure enough it was packed w/ gun powder. cops were promptly called & disposed of.

A live .50-cal round from WWII is neither illegal nor dangerous. If I'd found it, it would have looked great standing proudly on my mantle.

Artillery shells, I'll keep my distance thanks... But rifle ammo? I'd be very happy to "dispose" of as much as anyone would like to give me-no charge!!
