Milsurp .30-06 Ammo Update!

So for all of you guys with M1 Garands, M1917 “American Enfields,” and M1903 Springers, this could be of interest to you.

Sorry, it’s not cheaper (in both cases running close to $1 per round, which is actually more than the new-man S&B 150-grain that you can find on Ammoseek).

CMP has surplus ammo back in stock, including 400-round cans of Lake City M2 Ball, sadly not in en bloc clips but in cardboard cartons.

Here are the deets:

Surplus ammo is now available on the CMP E-Store. Visit the CMP E-Store at https://shop.thecmp.org/browse/Ammo.

Lake City M2 Ball 150 Grain FMJ 20 rd Boxes
Item #: 4S3006LCM2-400
$392 plus $21 s/h (Limit 1 can per person per year)

.30 Carbine 240 rds per box 10 rd clips in bandoleers
Item #: 4S30CARB-240
$132 plus $12.95 s/h (Limit 2 boxes per person per year)

.22 Caliber Surplus Ammunition 500 rounds per brick
Item #: 4S22PISTOL-500
$40 plus $12.95 s/h (Limit 2 boxes per person per year)

Documentation to order ammo includes proof of U.S. citizenship and membership in a CMP Affiliated Club or Special Affiliate (see https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/eligibility-requirements/ for detailed information).

Customers placing a surplus ammo order through the CMP E-Store will not need to provide Form 2A (those individuals will check a box that states they are not a felon before completing their order). Customers that purchase surplus ammo in-person at our stores or at CMP events must provide Form 2A if they do not have one on file or if it’s expired.

Further, RTI has West German 200-round .30-06 battle packs

Deets:

Sellier & Bellot’s .30-06 150 grain M2 ball

On a recent visit to the CMP’s operation in Anniston, where green ammo crates were once stacked 30 feet high in a warehouse that could hide a Wal-Mart, the organization now only has about 20,000 rounds of surplus ammo left on hand, and that figure is rapidly falling.

What they do have in quantity is a loading they have worked with S&B to develop, a new man M2 FMJ doppelganger loaded to military spec.

Given 100 rounds to T&E, I hit the range to see how they worked, and the “ping” was with me.
