Original Remanufactured Item: Although the A-H Empire was dissolved after WW1, Mannlicher small arms continued to be used through WW2. The WW2 version of the clip had openings in both sides. Eventually, the US used a Mannlicher-style clip in the M1 Garand rifle.IMA has obtained a small quantity of remanufactured dummy cartridges and signal flares that had once been part of a large military collection. All of them have been manufactured by using inert fired cartridge cases and inserting bullets or wads. They were made for display purposes and were not dimensioned for functioning through the action. To simulate the early or World War 1 look, cupronickel (nickel-colored) bullets were used, although the cases may be of any date or manufacturer. The later or World War 2 look is provided by using gilding-metal (copper-like) colored bullets.
