    Ya just had to remind of the 'SNOW' didn't ya!! - I don't mind mowing the grass now cause I can do that in jeans & a T-Shirt

    I got the ammo at $250.00 per Spam Can to my door via a 'face to face' transaction.

    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 CMPicon 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.

    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).

    Let me know.

    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.

    He's in Maryland very close to BWI Int. Arpt & preferrs face to face..Cash. Didn't know him before my posted transaction so I'm not gonna involve myself other than passing on info. I am satisfied with what I bought.

    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 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.
