I bought a bullet I thought I was a cut down Hispano, but it’s stamps suggest a MG151 relative. Did these get used post war? Am I wide of the mark?
Apologies to the delicate souls on the forum who might not like such a request about a bit from a sad old man!

Date and “re-purpose” suggests Rhodesian Air Force a possibility. Alouette III (K Car)

Not that common, Alouette III helo seems to be the main possibility. Wartime widely used German.

True!

Dunno Tony but it looks like you can open bottle tops with it now 😀

Cheers. What would it have been used on?

It might well be ’75 but I think the MR is the code for Manurhin
By: Rocketeer - 22nd May 2017 at 21:57
It is 82mm! It also appears to have a March 1975 date on it

I would say French, maybe cut that way for drill purpose. Is the case length 82mm?
