30 carbine ammo
 

Anyone got any idea where to find some? I mean pretty much everything else has been more obtainable--EVEN 380 auto!!!!

Re: 30 carbine ammo
 

There are sellers on Gunbroker.com advertising that ammo. Looking at completed auctions, it looks like the stuff is running $0.50-$0.80 a round on average.

I'm going to order some of this. It's on backorder right now, but a fairly good price. $155 per 500rnds of Aguila brass cased non-corrosive.

Yup - I've had some on order for 2-3 weeks now (along with some more .30-06). I think they said it was on backorder 5-6 months when I placed my order.

I think MidwayUSA's website says they are expecting some to come in Apr-May. Sportsman's Guide is saying June.

Fun, fun, fun.

Of course, I've got some set aside already, and have brass/bullets for more. But there's still room to stack some more carbine ammo!

Guys I know this is a bit OT but do you know what the going rate is for a Saginaw M1?

I found one for about $900 but that seems way high.

Thanks in advance.

Where were you 3 days ago???? Maine Military had soft point at $23 for a box of 50. I just checked and they were out of stock.

Yup - pretty greedy. The CMP is selling rack grade Saginaws for $479, or service grade carbines for $575. See:

NOTE that the CMP carbines have a 3-6 month delivery time, so if you want one RIGHT NOW, that's probably not the best route to go.

CMP might be, but show and private seller prices are $600-1k for a good one thats not shot out, about $400-600 for a good Universal. GI put togethers are around $400-500. I scored some old Korean surplus, and tore them apart, reprimed and repowdered them, shoot great. got them real cheap at a show.
