This authentic Austrian Mannlicher 8x56mmR M30S cartridge case is a fascinating piece of military history, steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. Originally manufactured for the iconic Steyr-Mannlicher rifles, these cartridge cases are a must-have for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of vintage military ammunition.
