DarkLight 0 Posted November 24, 2002 I checked what my shells say on the back. The smaller one says this: LOT15 0.105CP 1924 Sc Bx And in the middle it says: AFM I dunno what all that means, but it would be nice if someone can tell me what kinda shell it is. Does anybody know where i could indentify my shells? A good website or something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaaaaah, life's a wonderful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkLight 0 Posted November 24, 2002 Hmmm yeah, could be, i'll measure my shells tomorrow, perhaps that might help me out. I'm not good at guessing how big something is so i'm not gonna try that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
