CMP Has 30 cal carbine
In the latest circular from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), I saw the following:
“Lake City .30 cal Carbine ammo now available. We have a limited quantity of .30 cal LC carbine ammo for sale. Item number is 4S30CARB-1350. Date of manufacture is 1970-1972. Ammo is packaged in 50 rd boxes, 1,350 rds per .50 cal can. Price is $520 per can. S&H is $29 per can.”
This translates to about .39-cents per round. Granted its 40-year old ammunition, but hey, it’s Lake City military grade surplus that has been properly stored. As many shooters will vouch, there is still a good bit of World War II era LC stuff out there that goes bang every time you pull the trigger.
