CMP is the only way to go for .30-06 surplus.

FWIW; AFAIK; IMHO; YMMV; yadda, yadda, yadda.

Bobby Bowden is doing a fine job - just leave him alone.

The CMP has lotsa 30-06 for sale. Unfortunately, the delivery time right now is running about 100 days or so. Good luck.....:wave:

+1 on CMP, nowhere else can you get it so reasonable!

[Capt Quahog]

Thanks for the replies. Thing is, I have no interest in filling out paperwork and jumping through hoops in order to buy from CMP. Weighed it out a couple of times and could not justify the bother. Saw some spam cans of 30.06 at a G-show in December 2008. Price was about a buck-twenty a can which was double CMP's price less shipping. Did not know at the time what the going rate was for that stuff. Willing to pay the premium to keep things simple. There are some shows coming and I might place aqn AD on th4e new Jouster Wanted board. Thanks again . . .

Any desire to do a trade? I have a spare case of LC '06 I want to trade for a case of 7.62.

If filling out paperwork and belonging to a affiliated club is to troublesome for you I guess you will have to pay those inflated prices at gunshows.

+1 :thup:

[Neal Myers]

Problem is, the stuff you see at gun shows will vary in quality. You will find yourself asking, "Is it noncorrosive?", "Is it boxer primed?", Is it clean?", "Is it rusty?", "Has it been stored in the desert?"; you just don't know. Most will be decent, but you just don't know.

Yes, there are a few folks who are sitting on USGI milsurp; expect to pay $1/round if you find it.

I really don't see the problem with the CMP "hoops." If you have a CHL, or a DD214 all you have to do is join a local club which cost me $20 bucks. Once you do it once you're pretty much set for life.

The old DCM was really onerous, the CMP is very user friendly. Having said that if you really don't feel like doing the paperwork there are always gunshows.

I beleive for ammo purchases you only need club affiliation, you dont need proof of firearms activity

Hello All:

Thanks for the replies ~

As mentioned before. . . paying premium for ammunition is not a problem in order to avoid a red tape hassle. I have nothing against the CMP and know it to be an excellent program that provides a great service in many ways. With that said, I am not interested.

Have no club memberships and I like it that way. There are no credit cards or loan debts of any kind. I refuse to fill out intrusive paperwork except for tax return or two which is done so under threat of imprisonment. That's it! Pay cash for everything including assorted automobiles and a small truck.

Used to be a member in all sorts of established organizations and historical societies. Held higher office in some of them too. At this late date, such entanglements are purposely avoided. My opinion now is that for the most part, clubs suck! :bash:

This is one guy who is a seriously opposed to filling out forms. Why the hell should I bother to do so? It's like those supermarkets that try to force a customer to fill out an application for a "Courtesy Card". To hell with that crap! If you won't submit to the store management's extortion, the rotten bastards charge a person higher prices for the groceries. Which gangster racketeer started this scam? That's outrageous, but most of the sheeple submit without protest. Just go someplace else without the bothersome paperwork! :dunno:

Being in my sixties now, I refuse to apply for socialist security retirement bennies. The fascist thugs can shove that too! This shocks some of the parasite class who are addicted to government goodies. Want nothing to do with a corrupt system that takes from younger working people and redistributes their hard earned money to somebody else. That's an evil un-American scheme and I simply can't be a part of it. :runaway:

As far as buying vintage rifles and that kind of deal, these days, those items are readily picked-up through private in state transaction. Recently purchased two decent M1 Garand rifles from guys who claimed to have lost jobs and needed the cash. Paid $525 and $575 for the nice M1s, with both looking to be originally CMP Service grade rifles. The only paper involved were the dollars transferred hand to hand. Easy as pie and I got to see exactly what was bought.:cheers:

As they say . . Cash talks! Pictures of those rifles are below. Nice matching USGI walnut wood on both. Thanks again for the replies . . . .

Ciao' for now, Capt. Quahog

Capt Quahog has his own principles and I personally admirer that. You have to do what you believe in at all cost. The all mighty dollar has created the problem this country is in now. Ship all the jobs overseas just to save a buck. Who cares that your neighbor no longer has a job as long as you have your(right). For some people the day has come for them, there out of work and just can't understand why.

Last time I looked, the DD214 will suffice on its own in military retired status

CMP Quote:
These special affiliates include: Congressionally chartered veterans'
organizations such as the VFW, AL, DAV, MCL, etc. U.S. Military services
(active or reserves), National Guard, to include retirees."

See Eligibility Requirements (http://www.thecmp.org/eligibility.htm)

It is a good deal. And once qual'd you are qual'd for life (or until Obama's next stroke of the pen).
Do it now.

On second thought, don't do it now.
That leaves more ammo for me.

the only problem with the SOCIALIST Security is that you paid into it all your working days. It's yours! Yes it is too bad that those of us still working are supporting the system that was suppose to be self sufficent until some well meaning democratic presidents stole from the fund to pay for pet prodjects.

[Lancebear]

Hey Cap,

Nice Garands. Both of those would sell at my local show easily and fast for a grand each. Specially the one with the lockbar sights. I'm a Reagan Republican and buy ammo from the CMP. Think you could have given guys who needed money a few more bucks for those rifles.

Did I read correctly that someone would pay $1 a round for ball or SB ammo ? Are you serious ? I could see maybe 50 cents a round but not $1 . That just goes to show how long it has been since I bought retail. Good thing I saw the "Writing on the Wall" years ago (right after the klinton scare) and started bulking up.

[billy82269]

Pat's Reloading has Greek HXP on clips for sale at .45 a round. Georgia Arms advertises "Canned Heat" M2 spec reloads for .59 a round. Both places state that the wait on shipping is as long or longer than CMPs. All the ammo distributers are SWAMPED now with orders.

[0311Shooter]

While the Capt. is entirely entitled to his opinion and his lifestyle, unfortunately we live in the 21st Century and there are some things that even the most unforgiving of us must adhere to.

Hey, he IS posting on a 21st Century computer (unless he is using a 286), he is traversing the internet, a truly amazing and modern concept, even if it was invented by Al Gore. There are times when a credit card is a must, unless one wants to go inside that gas station every time to pay his bill and deal with those totally ignorant dunderheads.

Like it or not, the best deals on just about every goods, except groceries, is found on the WWW (stands for World Wide Web). When you find that deal, it's hard to send cash through the phone, cable, or DSL line. Granted credit cards can be dangerous in the hands of someone who loves to shop, but we assume most adults are intelligent enough to practice restraint.

Finally, organizations. Not a problem for me. My #1 is my American Legion. I am very active in mine, family oriented, and we provide a service to veterans who even served in WWII. I would pay to belong to mine, oops, I guess I do. But I get benefits three times in return. There's the VVA, VFW, AFA, MCL, and so on. Whatever your fancy, there is an organization. Of course, my Gun Club brings me pleasure in abundance too.

Oh, just about all are recognized by the CMP as participating, allowing YOU and I to enjoy the fruits of our hobby, at a reduced cost too.

Not trying to be stubborn, just practical.

Thanks, maybe now there will be something left if I make it to retirement in 18 or 20 years! Most folks I know who are your age tell me how much they appreciate the money I'm paying into SSI.
