I am looking for a little info on some ammo I came across in a friends basement who passed away recently. His wife called and asked me to go through his firearms and take what I wanted and she would throw out the rest. I told her I would and came across around 375 rounds of linked 30-06 ammo. One is a full can of Ball M2 with a 1956 date on the can. All rounds have a 1955 headstamp. Through a little research I have determined that it is for a Browning 1919. I don't have one sitting on the shelf and have nothing to shoot it out of. I was able to secure a lot more things with personal value to me so I thought I might pass this on to someone who can use it. Is this anything of value or just a display. These are live rounds and every 5th round is a tracer with an orange tip on it. Any insight would be great. Thanks
