Original Fabrique Nationale d’Herstal Headstamped .30-06 Tracer Ammunition – 250 Rounds
Up for sale is a lot of original Fabrique Nationale d’Herstal (FN) headstamped .30-06 tracer ammunition, offered here in a 250-round quantity. Manufactured by the renowned Belgian arms maker, this ammunition was produced to the highest military standards and remains an excellent example of Cold War–era NATO production. Each cartridge is headstamped with the FN factory mark, confirming its authenticity and collectible value.
The .30-06 Springfield cartridge was the primary U.S. military rifle and machine gun round from 1906 through the Korean War, famously used in the M1 Garand, 1903 Springfield, BAR, and M1919 machine gun. Even after being phased out by the U.S. military, the cartridge continued to see extensive use worldwide, with NATO partners like Belgium producing high-quality ammunition for both training and operational purposes.
Tracer rounds like these were designed for gunners to visually track bullet trajectory during low-light or sustained fire. For collectors, tracer ammunition provides not only a link to the functionality of mid-20th century small arms but also an impressive display item. The bold FN headstamp adds further desirability, making this lot a standout addition to any military ammunition collection.
This 250-round lot remains in original military condition, showing the wear consistent with long-term storage but maintaining excellent integrity for display. It is a must-have for ammunition collectors, FN enthusiasts, or anyone seeking to complete a period-correct loadout for U.S. or NATO small arms.
