Orange tipped 30 carbine ammo

[bucnball]

Found one orange tipped round in a bag of 30 Carbine ammo that I bought @ an auction a few months ago . Just got it into the daylight this (Sunday) afternoon . Any one know what it designates ? I don't have a Carbine but now have some to trade or shoot. Thanks !

It’s a tracer.  Also known as Caliber .30 Carbine M27.  What’s on the head stamp?

 Found a 2nd one in the other sack , it's LC 54 . Have to figure value or suggestions ? Would be happy to trade rounds for a little range time with a carbine ! Some of the ammo is not in First Class condition but it is good enough to shoot ! PM me & we'll meet up @ the Moose Lodge or what ever suits you. Sundays are best for me.

While not common, carbine tracer ammo is not really rare.  Usually goes for about $1 per round.

It looks like a bunch of carbines are coming into the country.  You might want to save your pennies up and get one!  Fun little rifles.

Red or red/orange on the bullet nose is the color for U.S. tracer ammo. Neat find but almost no where to shoot it because of fire danger.
