$8.95 per can. 15Lbs per can.

The crate is typical. Note the DAS stamp with flamming bomb on the crate. Not WWII vintage.

There is WWII dated which iod corrosive to late 1950's. Not all the ammo b eing shipped is corrosive.

This is the best price going for 30.06. Get it while you can.

Anything before 1953 is corrosive. This would be great ammo for a bolt action. I would not want to feed a M1 a steady diet of this. You will have to break down the M1 each time after you shoot. The gas system will have to be broken down.

Its hard on accuracy when you have to take the stock off constantly and take off the gas cylinder.

so, don't buy it....more for everyone else

Dont worry bud, im not.

You can have all you want. (wink) Its a great deal for the price, if you want to take the time to clean each time. All im saying is this ammo isnt for everyone. If you dont like to be one with your rifle and clean every nook and cranny. You going to be in for a bad surprise when your m1 starts to grow brown spores...

Pull it down. Pop the primers. Clean the rifle Reload it. Whats the issue?

I've heard that some of the old US surplus stuff has brittle brass also, is this type of ammo in that lot? Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know a lot about old stuff.

Great price, picked up a few cans of AP and 2 cans of the belted ammo for the 1903. At the current price, i may end up ordering a few more cans!

This stuff may not be any good for a bolt action. Made 1939 - 1952, from various US manufactures...you are likely to be shooting all over the target -- that is when you hit the target. I would also be concerned about my safety shooting 50 years old AP ammo made by "various US manufactures." I would buy some if they are safe and capable of 2 - 3" group at 100 yds. If anybody gets this stuff, please provide a review.

 

[armedsks]

Ive shot probaly 200-300 rounds of various years corrosive AP. This stuff tends to shoot better than most standard ball. Its heavier than the standard 150 grain bullet. If it was stored properly, this stuff will shoot pretty damn good. It plays hell on hard targets. And will splenter a tree quickly!

Is it proper to use AP against robots? When the robots come, and they will, I would like to be ready with more than just robot insurance.

What if Zombies learn to drive cars? You will definately want some of this corrosive ammo when some Zombie comes down your road driving an eldorado.

SOLD OUT! That didn't take long.

 

[mh53gunner]

There is still lot's more arriving at the CMP. The estore ammo was pulled until the CMP c an check stock.

Ammo like this has been arriving at the CMP each day for the last 80 days. THe CMP has only received roughly 1/4 of the ammo to date. Vast amounts are still awaiting shipment from Greece.

Don't short out the keyboard, but this is the off limits shipping and receiving area. The ammo shown here has arrived from the shipping ports in huge sea containers. It is off loaded by forklift and stored in this warehouse.

From here the ammo is inspected and sent to another huge warehouse for additional sorting and transfer to the sales warehouse.

I want to know if they are going to release the HXP AP that we all KNOW they have recieved in limited quantities.....

 

[Drmsparks]

As far as I know they mixed it in with the rest of it. I believe there was some on the butner truck.

Come people got corrrosive (my two cans are), some got non. Luck of the draw.

I once heard that snipers liked to use AP ammo because it was more accurate than regular m2 ball, not sure if it's true or not. I do know AP ammo would definitely be more effective against machines than the regular stuff.
