I have shot a bunch of rounds out of it. The rounds I have for it are machine gun rounds put on stripper clips.

Looks like the same ammo I have, 1938 dated (assuming), brass cased, cupro nickel jacket, highly corrosive on 5rd strippers in 70rd bandoleers. It is not specifically MG ammo, but regular service ammo for both rifle and MG. It is loaded quite hot and should only be fired in guns with provisions for gas leakage. I have an 1893 Turk that looks similar. I make sure to use windex on the corrosive salts in the bore before starting regular cleaning. The ammonia removes the salts.

My 1893 is not safe to shoot that stuff but my M48 Yugo is.
The Turks were Neutral but leaning Axis during WWII and their military was in poor condition.

The Turks used cloth belt-fed Maxims and Vickers MGs about the time when that ammo was made.
similar in appearance to this;

Ya I wanted to keep the use of the iron sights. It seems just fine. I'm just using it at the range to play around with right now.

I'm saving my pennies for a nice set up, so it will be gone soon anyways.
