Hi,
I bought a few boxes of xm193 from them and noticed that the NATO stamp is on
some rounds but not on others, within the same 20 rd box. All LC brass, brown box, all appear to be new unopened.
Would this be normal within the same lot to not have the NATO stamp on all rounds ?

Any info ?

Yes, on this stuff they dumped in whatever brass they had and ran it all.

I saw the Sportman's Guide add.....It WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.  You can find it cheaper right here in the EE.

Its not just an SG thing. Federal (part of ATK which operates LC) is loading this with odd lots of components, too many to assemble and meet the Gov't contract lot numbering requirements. Rather than scrap this excess they load it to M193 spec and sell it commercially.

If it is in factory sealed boxes you are good to go.

Thanks for all the replies.

MajorAR-The printed ad I got with the ammo was WAY higher in price than the website.

A little fuzzy math made a good buy for me-by the boxes.
Even with freight, it is still cheaper than what I have seen.
I get the member price and a coupon so maybe that's why.
Have more than doubled the price of the membership by
savings with some strategic purchases.

Er...WAIT-You're right !
DON'T BUY IT THERE !
Heh..Heh....
