Is there anyway to look up Nato stock numbers..I have come across a few packaged packs of parts..they have Nato stock numbers on them, but I would like to know what they are for.

Well the pack on this one says "Spring Assembly Hammer"

number 1005-21-150-5285..

I hope to come across some Veh parts in the near future..the guy I am buying from has tons of stuff at his farm..many items are still in packs like this one..so I don't really know whats in them.

Thank you

Dean

The website shown above will search NSNs, but in many cases the descriptions aren't much better than what is on the packages. There are other online NSN search engines available as well.

I have an old set of supply microfiche from the 80s which I use for these older part numbers. The number you have given is for the hammer spring assembly on the Canadian FN rifles, all versions.

It is rare to see NSNs from the 1005 class these days, the military will throw them out or destroy them verses selling them.

As a further source of assistance, I have a fairly current copy of the Canadian Government Catalogue of Materiel and can access many NSNs.
