getting a nice garand from a co-worker, where can I get some 30.06 surplus ammo locally?

Jackson NJ gun show this sunday. RT 571, I have cases of it in clips.

Bring the Garand[cased] I will look at it for U

CMP will be the cheapest. All the ammo i've seen at shows it just CMP ammo marked up. I think its 50-60 cents a round shipped now. I dont think you could find true M2 ball local and if you did expect to pay $1/round

I usually sell for 140 for 192 rds. in the clips and .30 cal ammo box. With Bandos.

.54 cents from CMP with shipping compared to .73 to the price above.

 

I'd wait the week and order from the CMP if it were me. And I'd order like 4 or 5 tins from the CMP and then start to reload

CMP is all out of spam cans. Some still available in stores. Crap shoot what you get on order. I have 1980 in now. Received 1963 a few weeks ago. Yes, that is year of manufacture. I bought loose and received 56 & 57 Winnie.

I am a freak and feel that surplus ammo is like a fine wine, just gets better with age.... My favorite x54 ammo is 1924 Russian, the stuff is near match grade. My favorite '06 is 1945 winnie, damn accurate, enough that I dont bring it out all the time. If ammo is stored properly, especially if canned, it will last for almost forever.

I dunno where you heard that the CMP is out of order but they have plenty and they are still selling it.

 

In fact I just went on their e-store and added 5 to my cart with no problem.

No more spam cans on my e-store!

Yes, Great ammo, I ordered a can of loose for 03a3 and received winnie from 56 & 57. 30 cal cans is a deal in clips, while it lasts.
