7.62 NATO headstamp ID needed

[dragunov]

Anyone recognize any of these headstamps? I ordered this loose packed 7.62 NATO from SAMCO and got a hodgepodge of interesting stuff. It was all supposed to be Swedish, which most of it is, but there were also the above ammo included. BTW it was $69.50 per 500 but shipping was 22.04. All the ammo was dirty but not too bad and about 20 had bullets that could be wiggled in their shells. A larger picture can be seen at the link below. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=111712&a=11745816&p=54135950&Sequence=0&res=high

CBC is Brazilian
TZ is izzy I think. Some reported trouble with TZ 80, case splitting in the head.

Hope this helps.

Hey thanks guy for all your work on this. Interestingly some of the rounds have scrapes on the brass that looks like they were delinked. Also about 10 or so have light primer dents (very light), should be interesting to see how they shoot. :rolleyes:

BION- some light primer dents come from cycling in the action. One way to strip them from links, I suppose!

Try this spot. It may not have them all but it is a good start. http://members.home.net/cstein0/uscenter.htm
