Product Description
This original inert 7.62mm NATO ball round, dated 1975 and marked with the RA headstamp, is an excellent example of Cold War–period military ammunition. Produced during a time of extensive NATO standardisation, RA-marked cartridges were manufactured to meet alliance-wide requirements for reliability, consistency, and interchangeability across a wide range of service weapons.
The 7.62×51 NATO cartridge was one of the most widely used military rounds of the era, chambered in rifles and machine guns such as the FN FAL, G3, M14, and various general-purpose machine guns. This round has been fully and professionally deactivated to UK standards, preserving its original components and external appearance while being completely safe for display, handling, and long-term collection.
Collectors value mid-1970s 7.62mm ammunition for its direct association with the height of the Cold War, a period defined by extensive training, mobilisation, and NATO cooperation. RA-marked rounds add variety to cartridge collections and are ideal for display boards or pairing with period-correct weapons and equipment.
This 1975 RA-dated inert round offers an authentic and affordable piece of military ammunition history, suitable for both dedicated collectors and those building a representative Cold War display.
