I found it its the mk 4 .Australia: during World War II and Korean War. Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation (as L4A4).[28] Continued in limited service until about the time of the general introduction of the F88 Steyr (ca 1990).[citation needed] I have found lots of pictures but am having trouble uploading as It will not take jpeg images I will keep trying

Actually, further to what i said, I should add that if feeling for split necks with the chamfer deburr tools, you will only have a chance to feel the split if it has travelled all the way to the end of the neck...

Ive had a few where the split is before the end of the neck...only ever picked those faults up by vision...

I've only had a couple but have also had similar splits and cracks in the shoulder or around it. And again that goes back to my liking for a good clean of the brass as it makes easier to see such defects.

You can clean up your necks with some fine steel wool. For range scrap, I am worried about stuff being inside the case. Once picked up a case and it had a 22lr spent case inside it.
