anyone have like 4-5 .223 bullet they can give me? im trying to make some dummy/training rounds with some spent casings I have. ill pay for shipping ? or for the bullets. i dont know the going rate.

dont make me ask CSC. lol

2/25/2013 12:17:16 PM

Sure, pm me your address. I can go ahead and load them in inert cases if you'd like. Do you have dies? You'll need yo resize the cases even for dummy rounds.

2/25/2013 2:15:15 PM

what was the going rate per round on .223/5.56 before the craziness?

2/25/2013 9:55:33 PM

$0.40 to $0.26 ish

2/25/2013 10:00:16 PM

Just ordered a Mega MATEN-MKM .308 upper to match my billet lower

2/26/2013 11:10:51 PM

Is that a monolithic setup? What barrel are you going to go with?

No, it is their new 2-piece keymod system that accepts all the keymod accessories

I think I'm going to go with the 18" UltraMatch from Rainier (Shilen blank) when it comes back in stock. Didn't particularly want to spend $400 on a barrel, but the lower level Select .308 series (H&K blank) haven't gotten the best reviews. They just came out with their mid-grade Match series for $300, but haven't seen any reviews on those yet.

2/26/2013 11:21:48 PM

I got the same barrel in .223, real excited to try it out, would love to try one on my AR-10 too. I think you will definitely be happy with that setup, throw on a nice trigger and PRS stock and that will be one heck of a rifle.

CMP is sold out of service grade, service grade special, and field grade Springfields. only HRAs left.

2/28/2013 5:22:13 PM

How long typically until they get more?

2/28/2013 11:41:07 PM

This go-around, they aren't. At least not in the forseeable future. I hadn't mailed mine off because I was being lazy and figured they'd still be there once I got around to it, and now I have to go back and redo the order form for a H&R. Needless to say, it's going out this afternoon.

if anyone finds a good deal on 8mm ammo that actually shoots let me know..

jg sales has some but its approaching 100 years old and hasn't been sealed. by the reviews it seams every other round hang fires or is a dud.

O NOT WANT:

too bad you missed out on this. i had a shitload and used it all up.

its the best stuff you can find, and its out there (dont settle for anything less).

maybe buy some commercial and start reloading your own. its dramatically underloaded (remington, for example).

sellier and bellot is reasonably priced (again, reload). PPU.

3/1/2013 12:11:03 PM

i have subscriptions to about every site that has ever had M75 in stock.

3/1/2013 1:03:43 PM

^^^^ Right, what do you mean by "this go-'round"?

I don't want one that badly right now...think they'll have more in 6 months, or a year, or 5 years, or what?

3/1/2013 3:25:47 PM

before the panic, they only estimated 2 years worth of Garands left at normal sales levels

3/2/2013 9:27:22 AM

Fulton still has some but they are $$$

But please done spread that around.

3/2/2013 10:10:46 PM

it's not like CMP is the only place to buy an M1. it's simply the best deal you'll find short of a widow who doesn't know what she's got. when CMP is out of Garands, you'll still be able to get one if you really want one.

[Edited on March 2, 2013 at 10:20 PM. Reason : fdsa]

3/2/2013 10:16:25 PM

also, i don't think they're really "out" of Springfield service grades. i think they're just so swamped and so far behind that they want folks to chill the fuck out and let them catch their breath.

3/2/2013 10:26:56 PM

^^ Of course...I'd just like a great deal, because that's how I roll.

3/2/2013 10:44:54 PM

send your paperwork in for an H&R

3/2/2013 10:51:19 PM

H&R?

3/3/2013 4:15:50 PM

so now that the school shooting is out of the news, is anything going to come of this gun control thing?

3/3/2013 4:17:42 PM

Harrington & Richardson made M1s for the military post-WWII (Korean War and such). the demand for CMP H&Rs isn't as huge because there's no chance of getting a WWII-era receiver. there's no guarantee you'll get a WWII-era receiver when you order a Springfield, either, but at least there's a chance. the H&R is still a good deal and will still be a great investment.

^i don't think we'll see anything significant on the national level. it's political suicide. there has been plenty of state-level legislation. the most significant thing to come of that is that a large number of manufacturers have started applying the same rules to law enforcement in those states. if us peons can't have 30 rd mags, neither can the LEOs. SCOTUS says they'll be hearing a 2A case soon.

i wanted a garand

i don't want to pay 30-06 prices

3/3/2013 4:21:22 PM

i bought a bucket (over 1k pieces by weight) of .30-06 HXP Greek surplus brass for $100
i ordered 1k 150 gr flat-base (M2 ball pull-downs) for $130 this morning
primers are $30/k
about $.13 per round for powder

that's less than $.40/rd

[Edited on March 3, 2013 at 4:33 PM. Reason : $.30/rd on the second firing. most folks agree 4 firings is attainable in a Garand.]

3/3/2013 4:32:18 PM

also, CMP was selling 200 rounds of Greek surplus M2 ball in an ammo can for $100. they've stopped taking orders for it now.

3/3/2013 5:18:17 PM

Oh yeaaa. Its starting to come together

3/4/2013 8:50:47 PM

What should the price of 30-06 ammo be per round right now?

Greek or Belgian surplus, etc..

3/5/2013 8:43:02 PM

Local gun shop in Cincinnati selling 100 rds of American Eagle 9mm for $99.99

3/5/2013 8:59:34 PM

Ordered 300 rnds of privi 8mm and a hornady lock & load ap today ... Now die hunting!

8mm, .308, .223, 9mm, &.45

3/5/2013 9:36:40 PM

^^^pre-panic was $.50 per rd

3/6/2013 6:29:07 AM

Did y'all hear Colorado was trying to make it so if your gun is stolen and used in a crime you are an accessory?

3/6/2013 6:43:00 AM

no; but is the law that simple?

3/6/2013 8:08:12 AM

I put in my order with a can of the HXP, so I guess I may or may not get some. I'll probably go ahead and order dies and molds when they run my card anyway since factory ammo is hard to come by as it is.

NRR, can you tell me where you found components? If I can't find anything, I would be willing to pay $jacked-up for a couple hundred pc. of brass. Nothing worse than a gun with no ammo.

3/6/2013 10:32:51 AM

^^^ ehh didn't read too much about it in what i found i was hoping someone else knew more specifics... i don't think it has a chance in passing at all...

in other news... picked up a 24" M2 Field today.

3/6/2013 12:03:19 PM

One of my friends recently finally found the FNX9 he was searching for, and he wants to buy ammo. Is there anyplace which still has reasonably sane prices on 9mm in bulk? I thought that he and I plus one more friend could go in together on about 1000 rounds. Everywhere I've looked thus far is showing upwards of $450 before shipping. WTF.

3/6/2013 12:23:19 PM

I would like to purchase a Walter PPK. Any suggestions on which style is the better one?

3/6/2013 1:30:07 PM

.32

3/6/2013 1:33:27 PM

^^^ I've been checking Wal-Marts several times a week since Sandyhook. I managed to find some Winchester white box 100 count 9mm a few weekends ago. You just have to check often because nothing reasonably priced stays in stock for more than a few hours these days. I've not seen any reasonably priced online deals.

3/6/2013 2:28:13 PM

3/7/2013 9:41:23 AM

^^I've got .45 ACP for sale at .44/round and 9mm for .35/round. Just selling for what I paid for it after shipping.

Also I'm looking to trade for .223 or 5.56

3/7/2013 11:03:44 AM

how many times could you reload .338 lapua?

fuggin brass is $2.75 each....

3/9/2013 10:48:46 PM

Indefinitely

seems logical, hopefully this happens and spreads to other states

3/9/2013 11:27:18 PM

Logical to someone who doesn't think logically about weapons sure.....

lets apply it to everything, someone steals your car, kills some people with it and makes you an accessory to murder troll boy...

3/10/2013 1:52:49 PM

Hopefully there is some common sense in the law. It should encourage people to secure their weapons but not punish people who took reasonable precautions but still had their guns stolen.

3/10/2013 2:50:36 PM

my question is , why buy all the 45 colt... All I want to do is shoot... damn 1$ a round

3/10/2013 6:40:08 PM

So you're saying if you leave your car unlocked and it is stolen and used in a crime, THEN you're at fault? Seems reasonable
