I was surprised to discover that quite by accident I have a collection of early SS109 ammo.

Several boxes of 50 each from FNH with Lot Number 1 FN B81 5.56 x 45, TW7, Ball SS109 (1981) markings on box and date on head stamp.

Then several more boxes of 20 each XM855 Lake City E1 Lot LC-81, first produced here to FNH pattern.

Then several white boxes of 20 each of Olin Penetrator before M855 was type qualified.

Are these collectible, or should I just link them up and run through My Stoner 63?

(I got them while working on the Minimi and XM16=A2 with USMC at Quantico in 1981/82).

I know the Lot#1 ammo has the original steel penetrator location that wore out barrels. (It just barely came into contact with lands).

I think the XM855 corrected this problem.

Advice appriciated.
