Is that a good deal? It’s $0.65 per round (plus shipping) and you don’t get the ammo can.

I appreciate you posting it. Thanks

US stuff, doesn't come up that often anymore. Not a great price but I've seen far worse and you do get the strippers and bandos and sleeves.

Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

I'm getting down to the last box, the others have all been destroyed...

That is double per round what I paid CMP the last time for a full 1000 round can of .30 carbine LC on strippers and bandoliered.


It’s so high they have to break down the cans like selling cigarette loosies.  

The only hyphenated names I like are cartridge names......30-06, 30-40, 38-55 etc.

How long ago was that? I bought brand new stuff from AIM for $8.99 a box of 50 if bought in bulk but that was a LONG time ago. [S&B brass cased]

It was a very long time ago. Commercial carbine ammo has been hanging out at 60+ cpr for years

The last two years they've posted small amounts of LC Carbine ammo, and it's sold out in hours.

I keep thinking they've sold it all, and then they'll post more up, but usually only once a year.

It's certainly not cheap, but you know it's good stuff, comes on strippers and bandoleers.   I wouldn't stack it deep but would certainly like to have more on hand than I do.

It might be worth it for the brass.
Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. F. Douglass

Last LC I shot was fouling up carbon in the chamber so bad, the cases started sticking. This was after 90 rounds were fired through it at a CMP match. After that, I quit using surplus.

Well, I tried to order 2 packs of this stuff and was denied for needing proof of "citizen".
So now they have all of my info, including credit card info.

It's the CMP, they have specific policies on what you need to buy from them.

They're not stealing your credit card info.

That's nice to see. Although I tend to discount most of the retailers that are under 50cpr because those companies are usually drop shippers and/or have huge shipping markups.

J&G having S&B at 50cpr is solid though.

When CMP had it available in January and previously, it was "only" $132 per 240, not $156.

I'm not worried about them stealing my into, I'm worried about a 3rd party getting it.

Wish the surplus was still around but at least you can get the ammo still.

Couldn't remember how much it was last time.  It's not a bargain by any means, but it's good stuff.

Last time we had some it was "we don't expect to re-stock after this sells out" and here we are with more of it, at a higher price.
