Re: Canned Ammo

Post by Cyklopz »

Although new to milsurp arms and also a new T53 (pair) owner I had been watching ammo prices for the last few months as i considered making this purchase and have seen it obviously going up and getting spotty to find. A local shop had part of a pallet left for a fairly decent price so i jumped in with both feet. Don't know much about the various ammo that has been produced but here is what I bought. Two crates and a lose packet (just so I could check it out without having to open the crates right away. This was priced at $179.98 per crate and I think the packet was $4.95. Raw price per cartridge is $0.205. I'm sure I'll never shoot this much...but then again, never say never. :thumbsup:

The day I got this ammo another customer bought another whole crate as well.

Any info on this particular ammo is appreciated.

It's a "modern" sticker, to represent ammunition most likely, or more generically as "explosives". I do not know exactly what the number designation is, but I'm sure someone here does.
