I've already got 1K of Q3131 (bought locally, and for too much) but was looking for some quick ammo to get before things get weird around here. Recommendations? Battlepacks? Q3131/Q3131A? IMI M193? Cost is not THAT much of an issue, but I'm not made of money either. Thanks for the replies. -Gloftoe |

Also, what's the best way to store it on stripper clips? I know that ammo cans are best, but I have no bandoleers, and all I've found on how to store in ammo cans is with the 4 or 7 pocket bandoleers. How well does the ammo fit in a 30 cal or 50 cal ammo can if its just on strippers? thx. -Gloftoe |

Don't forget the dessicant. [img]wsphotofews.excite.com/035/GU/ZL/pC/Us71666.jpg[/img] |

If you want ammo, go to Southern Ammunition and order some. They have 1000 rounds of "dented" ammo for $84, and From what I've heard,most of it is not dented anyway. I'll let you know how it looks when I gt it tomorow. (I like that..Ordered on Friday in the afternoon, and it will be here on Monday. I'm glad that they are in South Carolina!!) [smoke] |

Personally, I store ammo on stripper clips inside of those small orange Gatorade-mix cans. You can easily fit 90 rounds in them, and I have a large supply of them. The rest is either still inside of battle packs or in ammo cans of various sizes. I think keeping your ammo loaded into stripper clips is important. Magazines are kept 2/3 full inside of my LBV. And yes, ammo retailers would like nothing more than for you to blow a bunch of money on their merchandise. I don't forsee an arab invasion of CONUS anytime soon. Having a case set aside should be quite sufficient. May I suggest looking into your food storage and water situation. |
