    Mike at work is looking to get 1000 rnds 5.56 NATO as a gift but doesn't really want to buy online. Are any gun shops or retail stores,,, within 30 mi. of Greencastle PA even likely to sell that many at a pop?

    Most places will have that much. I know the local dicks has about 5,000 rounds of Federal .223 on the shelf. It will cost alot more than purchasing online though.

    Wednesday, Dick's Sporting Goods--at least the one in Glen Burnie MD--had Federal 5.56 ammo cans with 420 rounds with 50% off the second can. That works out to $157 plus tax for each can for every pair you buy--36 cents a round.

    They also had 90 round boxes of same for the 50% off every second box. You might check if it is still in play.

    So, it's either Two cans of 840 rounds, or two cans and two 90 round boxes gets you 1020 rounds.

    Gettysburg Walmart had 500 round cans of Tulammo 223 (steel) the other day. Gettysburg Trading Post, on Rt. 30, east of G'burg, had plenty of cases in lots of calibers. They also have the 420 round ammo cans of Federal 5.56 for $129 (if I think I remember correctly).
