I just picked up three (3) 600 Rd Spam Cans of M1 Carbine Ammo. Two (2) Cans are LC Lot # 13360 and One (1) is RA (Remington Arms) # 5418. Cans are excellant condition and marked "IN 10RD CLIPS BANDOLEERS"
Can anybody 'date' these lots or direct me to a website to get the info on the manufacturing dates:dunno:
Mike, I can't but that sounds like you did O.K.!! Good for you!!.....Frank
Better weather for you now, then this past winter?
Mike if they are 600 rounds on strippers then they are no older then the Korean War era. Most likely in the late 50's to mid 60's. Cannot do better then that for you.
Ya just had to remind of the 'SNOW' didn't ya!! :ugh: - I don't mind mowing the grass now cause I can do that in jeans & a T-Shirt :thup:Quote:

Also at the same time/same seller I got 480 Rds of RA Lot # 5471 in a 840 Rd (50 Cal Type Flip Top Can) so I actually could inspect the contents. Pristine Ammo, Bandos with stipper clips and cardboard seperators, 120 Rds per Bando, headstamped RA-55. Got that can for $200.00
Price worked out to about the same as CMP AQUILA shipped (41.7 cents per Rd or so) ..So I jumped on it :)
I'm a 'Happy Camper' but out of 'Mad Money' now. Too bad cause the guy says he has more.
Pics...maybe..??
Bruce - Thanks! - That correspondes to my thoughts and also fits with the ammo in the other Can I just posted about with pictures. Thanks again.Quote:

.30 cal M1 Carbine Ammo 1944 USGI 800 rnds 30 cal : Collectible Ammo at GunBroker.com
30 cal M1 Carbine Lake City ammo : Rifle Ammo at GunBroker.com
both are over priced in my opinion
Mike you got a great deal - and you got REAL delivery thrown in! Enjoy it in good health!
That GB stuff gold plated or something?
I am SOOOOOOo glad I reload!
Care to share the source? That's a fair price for good ammo, I'd love to add to my stash. Of all the firearms I own, carbines are the only long guns my wife cares to shoot. My grandson dearly loves them as well, because he knows when the old man cashes his chips in, he's the proud owner of one of mine (I plan to have at least 5, as that's how many grandsons I have, they can fight over who gets the Rock Ola).Quote:

Hi Mike. I can't answer all your questions but here's some L.C lot numbers for 42/43 headstamps. Hope this helps. Cheers.
I have his email address & phone # but I don't think it would be appropriate to post it publicly. If you PM me with your email address and name I'll forward the info to him. The rest of the transaction would be between you.Quote:

While I don't have a detailed list he still has LC Carbine Spam Cans available and apparently has about 5000 rds of Non-Corrosive GI M2 (30-06) in cans. No idea of his price since that ammo was not of interest to me.
I got nothing in this so don't bury me with PM's:yikes: I'll take the 1st five PM's in date/time order and then post on here That my assist is over with.
Mike
The seller advised me today that as of 6/18 (Friday), he was "Sold Out" of all ammo.Quote:
