30 06 Blanks. Need some info

ratski · Oct 14, 2025

Folks I’m looking for some information.

I picked up a bunch of what appears to be WWII/Korea era 30-06 blanks.

Multiple different headstamps in the mix.

Got a bunch of them in Garand enbloc setups and loose.

I know that the Garand had a grenade firing capability that used blanks, so I’m sort of wondering if that is what these were used for.

Wondering also if this would have been more for used in the 1919 belt fed?

What is this stuff worth?

Thanks for any information on use and availability.

M1909 blanks for training, used with a blank adapter. Most commonly used today for ceremonies at funerals. The grenade launcher blanks are usually crimped. If I recall correctly these were made with reloaded empty cartridges, so it is common to find mixed head stamps even in the same box.
