Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone has found any decent 5.56 ammo finds on the net? All I can find is the junk loose box stuff and M855 for 8bucks/20.
Thanks

AMMO PRICE LIST Updated Thursday, February 15, 2007
Lots of XM193 52 gr. Expensive. Looks like kiser on arfcom EE has Black Hills blue box (remanufactured).
e mailed kiser and here was his reply about 55 gr Black Hills blue box - remanufactured.
"I have one case left...a fella backed out on the deal. It is $349/1000 delivered."

Thanks for the link, I picked up 2 cases of reloaded Blackhills last week I wish I would of known your price Jim as I got it a few bucks cheaper but was stuck with tax making your delivered price a bargin.
Ammoman.com or Cheaperthandirt.com usually have some decent deals...
Ammoman wont sell me any M855, he says that ole military me dosent qualify as government personel?????????????????????? It looks like what he has is loose turn-ins anyhow. Im trying to stock up on everything now since i might not be able to get it when im a civilian again?
Thanks
It's against the law to sell military surplus ammo anyway. Ammoman shouldn't have any actual surplus, unless it's for LE use only. He may have QC rejects that were set aside prior to being sent to the government for inspection that he can sell to other than LE.Quote:

I usually don't share my ammo finds, but I may not be around to buy any and plus it's not the greatest deal but...
About .23 a round but good ammo and a tad hotter than our own XM193 IMO.
Buy battle pack amounts only! If you buy individual boxes they give you the most corroded guat I've ever seen. The stuff that came in loose boxes was so bad that I ended up putting some of the Grade 2 Guat I bought from AIM for .14 a round in storage and shot the corroded stuff. The boxes in the battle packs were grade 1.
I might even pick up 3-4 more battle packs...

Some of the better deals I have found are at Gun Shows.
I pciked up 100 rounds of M193 at a show this weekend and today at a gunstore found the sealed top quality Lake City for 300bucks for 840rounds. Man this is expensive, but like a idiot I bought a can as well. They had 5 more cans but I had to resist.
