ADCO M855 > Ammunition

Posted: 7/24/2006 5:51:05 PM EDT

I did a search and wasn't able to find any reviews of their M855.
www.adcofirearms.com/itemdetails.cfm?inventorynumber=4059

I recently bought some M855 Frontline from Ammoman. I was told it is pretty good ammo. Im wondering if the Adco stuff is quality ammo. There is a sentence or so blurb on the webpage saying it was GI issue ammo.. Anyone shoot alot of this or have experience?

I of course want quality ammo no seconds. Same stuff our military uses as a primary non practice round.

One more question is Adco and Adcom affiliated in any way? Thanks

ADCO is a 1st class operation. It 'looks' like quality stuff. But at $.32/round I'd keep shopping.

AFAIK, adcom is ammo made in the UAE and was sold by Aim surplus for awhile. there was one batch of 1998-99 production (i think that was the year) that had some pressure issues in certain barrels but the latter stuff was good.

Adco is a parts supplier.

ADCO OR ADCOM?

I was ensuring that adco and adcom were unaffiliated. If you click on the link in my first post you will see where Adco is selling what appears to be Winchester M855.

I was going by the thread title, my apologies.

IIRC the two are totally different, ADCO being a distributor and ADCOM being a mfg.

I concur.

I'm sure the brass is nice and shiny. The green paint is evenly applied.

But at those prices, I'll continue to shop around.

When AIM was selling this I believe it was $170.00 a case. $241.00 seems high. Stay away from ADCOM stuff that is dated 99.

Interesting update.. With all the SG shananigans going on i went over there and looked at their ammo. They had a pic of their WCC M855 on ths site.. It had a lot # it was the same lot # as ADCo as pictured printed on the box.. SG says its rejects..

Why cant we find good ammo anymore? Everything on the market seems compromised in some way or another

Made in the UAB to me this is not an option as you can appreciate. Radway is underpressured as i read.. Winchester and LC are the only co.'s i am aware of that make US military M855. I am not afraid of IMI. so out of those three are the only options open for me.

I wish i could get a few people to chime in on this ADCO WCC (winchester) M855 for sale in the EE. Anyone who has purchased this were there any sealant, primer or case issues?

I purchased a can of Ammomans M855 but now after reading others post it may well too be compromised.

i bought that stuff before at gunstore for $4 a box, i might order 500 rounds the price from that website sounds good. radway is $150 shipped but i wouldnt mind trying out this stuff.

edit: typo!
