MQ Ammunition Collection – SAAF No.5 Rocklea Australia

Explore our collection of original MQ headstamp ammunition, produced at SAAF No.5 Factory, Rocklea, Australia, during the Second World War.

The MQ factory code identifies production from the Small Arms Ammunition Factory (SAAF) No.5 at Rocklea, Queensland, one of Australia’s major wartime ammunition plants supplying British Commonwealth forces throughout WW2.

This collection includes a range of:

  • Original MQ headstamp rounds
  • WW2 dated .303 British cartridges
  • Ball, tracer, drill, and specialist loadings
  • Australian Commonwealth production variants
  • Inert display rounds and fired cases

MQ-marked cartridges are highly collectible among WW2 militaria collectors, .303 enthusiasts, and Commonwealth ammunition historians, particularly due to their Australian wartime origin and connection to Allied supply networks in the Pacific theatre.

All items are fully inert and intended for display and collecting purposes only
