JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted July 17, 2020 I have two M1 Garands and an M1A Scout. I have been thinking about sending one of my Garands to Schuff's Parkerizing to have a .308 barrel installed. I was thinking about having it turned into a Mini-G by him but now that I have the Scout I think I will just have the 308 barrel installed. I still have about 4500rds of HXP 30-06 surplus that I bought years ago when the CMP had it real cheap. I haven't shot my Garands in about 8 years. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Archibald 304 Posted July 17, 2020 I have been buying So African battle packs, Still pretty reasonable. Since CMP is out of ammo. Prices have been going up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted July 17, 2020 I recently bought a case of brass cased 7.62x51 from Defender Ammunition for .52/rd. Since then I can't find any good deals on bulk brass 7.62x51. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Archibald 304 Posted July 17, 2020 Found a few Battle packs on Gunboards and some on CMP. Look at old posts, sometimes not sold. .52 per is about right.Gotta hunt for it. M14 forum too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted July 17, 2020 Thanks, I will keep my eyes out for it. I still have some SA and German battle packs from when they were cheap. The problem is that with availability so low I find myself holding on to my ammo and not shooting it. I have only been shooting 45ACP, 9mm, 38/357 and 44 mag because I reload these calibers very frequently and have a lot of components. I do not really load 308 or any rifle for bulk, just precision. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
