[ARCHIVED THREAD] - CMC Ammo: M2 Ball-Surplus 30.06 Lake Cty 62-72.

Posted: 2/10/2006 11:25:10 AM EDT

Anyone have any experience with this ammo? It is $230 (shipped) for 960 rounds of delinked M2 30.06 ball, from 1962-1972.

Anyone know if it is worthwhile?

Here's the link.

Thanks, and Semper Fi

Its US GI Lake City ball good stuff, delinked means some scratches on the cases. Maybe not match quality but good ammo. I have some 68 and 69 squirreled away for a rainy day.

The Greek is more accurate.

In true ARFCOM form, get both!

How have you found that Greek ammo? They say 5-15% is corroded, or messed up. What was your experience?

The Greek I got from CMP was 1969, lot #40.

It was 100% top quality, no corrosion whatsoever.

It really does shoot a touch better than the LC I got from CMP.

The LC looks a little shop-worn. The Greek looks brand new. I did not get the clipped Greek, mine came in 20rd cardboard boxex in 2 spam cans.

Both the LC and Greek are fine.

KjoeZ,
Have you purchased the clipped Greek ammo? I'm thinking about buying a case of that, but I'd like to know if anyone bought any and found it coroded, as the CMP website says you can expect 10% or so of it to be bad.

Thanks,
