Found a guy selling 1000 rounds for $460.
When I asked him what brand it was he replied... " Military 5.56 52g surplus. All brass rounds FMJ with a 98% guarentee. 98 out of 100 rounds fire with no problems. Same warrenty as for the Military" This my first AR so I don't have a lot of knowledge about the different ammo for it. Would this be a good buy? |

Sounds pretty iffy to me. Mil Spec ammo is mil spec 'cause it goes bang every time. Would any soldier accept ammo that does not fire
every time the trigger is pulled? Plus, price seems way too low in current market. Be careful these are not reloads. If it is reloaded ammo, walk away. I reload and will not let anyone shoot my reloads just in case something went wrong. Also, if it's reloaded and the guy selling does not have manufacturer's license, someone gonna have lots of trouble. |

Could also be someone who doesn't know what he has.
I say ask him to send you some pics of it. Try and determine what exactly it is first. Then consider if you want to buy it or not. Hate to pass up a decent deal, because some guy doesn't know what he has. Hate to buy a deal and get a load of poop as well.

Either of these traits would cause me to pass on the deal. |

During this latest panic there are too many sharks trying to dump off previously unsaleable garbage while they can. |
