Feedback on Garand dealer?

[Leggett71]

Does anyone have any experience with buying garand parts or ammo from "Packrat"? looking to buy some bulk ammo / M1 accessories and he seems to be reasonable. Looking for feedback before i give up any cash.

Thanks in advance,

yes I have dealt with Packrat, on ammo several times, traded him box for box and bought some from him, he is sure and a good quality trader. his tuff is the best, no junk.

I've brought numerous items from him over the years. An excellent guy to do business with!

It's been awhile but I had no problems with him when I dealt with him.

You might have already checked the CMP?
A friend bought me their Greek HXP M2 Ball in sealed cans, along with my first Garand. They have enough to last a few years, verified by the friend's buddy who works in the Camp Perry store during rifle matches. Of course prices can not be predicted for the future.

The CMP sells it for about .50/round, but don't know whether any club member papers are required to buy just ammo.
Any business which sells ammo from the CMP marks up the price 10-30% or whatever people want to pay. Compare CMP prices to those on "Gunbroker", "Packrat" and gun shows.
