DO NOT SHOOT! VERY DANGEROUS AMMUNITION!

Since I'm sorry you bought such unusable ammunition, I will gladly dispose of it for you. Please let me know your particulars so I can send you payment for shipping.
(Just kidding, friend! You scored big time with that. I'm sure it will work just fine.)

Two of those for $50, nice. I'll give you a $100. Say yes right now. Ignore all other post, they are trying to take advantage of you, I am your friend.

I'm not going to let her see this post.
Truth be told, when she left this morning to check out some garage sales,
I'm the one who gave her a few 20 dollar bills and told her to find something good.
I never expected that she really would!!!
She called and asked me if she should should buy a couple
of green ammo cans like I have in the garage with some bullets in them.
I asked her to describe "the bullets" and thought it might be just a few boxes.
When she got home, she complained about how heavy the were and told me to get them out of the truck myself.
I was shocked when I saw the two cans full of ammo.
BTW, I did fix her a good dinner.


ETA: Both her sisters are married.

that's got to be what, 400 dollars worth of ammo she got for 50 bucks?  I say right on.

14 boxes, looks like stacked 3 deep = 42 boxes per can. 2 x 840 = well over $400 at today's prices, I would think.

My wife bought me 600 rounds of Wolf .40S&W at a garage sale today for $25.00.  Maybe next week I'll get .223

I need to go to garage sales.

My father goes every week and enjoys it.  Several months back I was having lunch with him and mentioned an uzi (semi) at a sale earlier in the morning for $150.  We left in a hurry to go check it out, but somebody had picked it up after he left.

Take that girl out to a fine dinner and you treat her like a princess. Then send her out for more yard sales.

Man, she's a keeper.   Especially if she likes to shoot.

But given the fact that she wasn't too keen on just what kind of ammo it is I'm guessing she's not big into going shooting.

Therefore I suggest using some of that ammo in trying to convert her.  Use up a can taking her out to let her shoot through the majority of it.

Jeez, garage sales around her in Northern VA are all the same, old furniture, baby clothes, and kid's toys.

No fun stuff at all.

Boy whoever that woman was that sold your wife the AMMO REALLY HATED SOME MAN IN HER LIFE!
This is akin to throwing the guys pants and boxers out the window onto the street.

Fantastic score - even if indirectly!!!!!!!!


Exactly HOW MANY rounds in the cans?
Hot damn

I left town last Friday without doing any of the chores my wife commanded, so, yesterday she said she was going to sell my ammo.  WTF?  I can't believe she really done it.  


Bring it back and I'll trade you for her jewelry.

Close to 1700

The other can had some boxes and a bunch on stripper clips.
It wasn't as photogenic.

When I was out swimming in the ammo bin today I couldn't help but wonder what my lovely bride will do with all of it after I kick.  Probably sell it to guys like us for a fraction of it's worth.  You may as well thank me now.

I am afraid to ask, but what part of WA are you in...? I saw a bunch of garage sale signs this weekend, and gave it half a thought but the few times I have ever stopped at one, never saw anything worth stopping for...

So my wife went and sold my ammo stash.....says she got $50 for it, I'll give ya $100 to get it back and helping me sneak it back into the house so she doesn't find out.
Nice score man!

Ask her to take you to where the sale was. There may be an AR there for purchase.

Let me see if I understand this:  

1.  Your wife noticed ammo cans while shopping at a garage sale?

2.  Your wife thought enough of your needs to determine what was in the cans, call you to verify you needed it, and then pay with her own cash?

I suppose next you'll want us to believe she negotiated the price down from $50/can.  

C'mon, tell us she needed help lifting the cans into the car.  Please.

Migradog, she is a keeper.

I'm just waitin' around for dpmmm to keel over. I'll be set for life buying crates of ammo for $10 a piece. I hope he has a wife, better yet an ex-wife. That goes for the other ammo whores, too!

The VERY interesting part to me, was the photo and comment about WCC85 being the head stamp.

About 20 years ago I bought a case of Win USA, wrapped it up in several heavy plactic bags and duct-taped the heck out of it for long term storage.  It's been driving me crazy lately wondering if it was M193 spec or .223.  Next time the wife is away for business I'll drag it out into the daylight and inspect the rounds.

Never seen ammo or guns at a garage sale.  The Illinois State Police would probably show up just for asking.
