    Hi, I'm a long time lurker with a question about the value of this (We came across it cleaning out my mom's house)
    One Ammo can of:
    192 CAL .30 CARTRIDGES BALL M2 IN 8 RDCLIPS BANDOLEERS LOT WRA 23639

    I'll try to attach pictures. It appears to be complete but one 8rd clip is missing and there are 6 loose rounds in its place. The lot numbers on the BANDOLEERS match the lot number on the can. Is this of any value beyond the value of the Ammo?

    I've seen mention of $3-500 but I have no clue.

    Thanks in advance.

    Pardon my ignorance but does WRA mean something? My google-fu yesterday only found two entries: an out of stock dealer - $495 and a several year old forum entry of $300. I'm completely out of my league here.

    The cmp stuff doesnt come in bandoliers so its worth a little more. It goes for about $1 rd on gunbroker The ap rounds are what sell for much more.

    It's winchester ammo, if the date checks out as non corrosive that's a plus.

    USGI surplus always sells for more than greek.

    The big thing to check is the manufacturers codes on the enblocs. Some USGI enblocks are worth more to collectors...
