    You left out the link so there it is. Do I remember $218 for a 120 rounds? Not going to look at shipping costs. Have plenty.

    Nice rifle to shoot. Have the stock, metal & handguards. Now the fun comes, I hope my Real Milk Tung oil comes in this week .

        OP is referring to this.

        M2 Ball, .30-06, Greek Ammuntion. HXP (Pyrkal) manufacture.
        Packaged 20 rds per box, 12 boxes per spam can - 240 rds.
        Boxer primed, non-corrosive. Headstamp varies HXP62-HXP80.
        This ammo attracts a magnet.
        Weight 21 lbs per can.

        $150
        S&H per can $19.95

        It works out to about 71 cents per round vs 65 cents for the loose ammo in the can.

          My heart skipped a beat, then it remembered that it was the clipped HXP that will mark the beginning of the end of the CMP sales.

            Right - I had the same reaction until I realized they were just clearing out some boxed. In a sense the price is crazy (70/cents round when I paid 55 last time) and in a sense it's quite reasonable ($170 w/ shipping for a can and I sold one for $220 plus shipping on gunbroker a couple of months ago). Some people will pay a big premium for the spam cans. Survivalist sorts I guess.

              You can bet when the spam cans w/ clipped ammo come up price per round will be significantly higher.

              Like $1.00 each. You heard it here first.

                  At a minimum they'll add on whatever they sell the clips for.

                    If you buy two cans you get the wooden crate as well.

                      Thanks for the correction triple 7

                      Let me ask if a Garand application was sent in would it show if I had a store account or would those be done strictly done by email.
