It's Asian Military Grade that is theoretically compatible with U.S. standards.

I expect it to be operational.  At least as a blasting ammo for fun at the range for an afternoon.
I don't expect it to be Creedmore grade, and the brass is non-re-loadable/combat expendable.

I smoke Marlboro lights sometimes but mostly chew grizzly. I think you are thinking I'm talking about casings, I'm talking fully loaded ammo.

I remember seeing brass cased 308 ammo for 30 cents 8 years ago sometimes a quarter. How is it way lower than 8 years ago? What was $1 8 years ago is now $1.14, you act like inflation doubled Lol! You would be surprised how cheap military surplus ammo goes for overseas when importers bid on the ammo at the military depots. Steel case ammo... take that shit elsewhere, I only shoot that in AK rifles.

What is surprising to me was all of the nay sayers that said 556 will never be cheaper than 30¢ a round after the election. Well I'm seeing both m193 and m855 for 27¢ a round right now.

Demand is way down. Remember Fred and Sally who never thought about buying guns and ammo in their lifetimes or do not live the gun shootin, hunting lifestyles like most of us on this forum . They bought guns and ammo and never shot it yet, bought guns because of Obama and now are thinking " why did we buy this stuff". They were temporary customers to ammo manufactures and would pay any price because they had no clue. Now since its not raining candy for industry they have us, the regular consumer who buys guns and ammo not because of political reasons but because we love going to the range and love firearms in general and we like our stuff cheap in price.

if the Liberal 'Republicans' do any more to sabotage the semi-Liberal Trump Train - we're going to be seeing a lot more liberals elected in the next 2 elections, and then Fred/Sally will be neckbearding again along with lots of other ppl.

I'm thinking these Salad Days are just a temporary favorable blip before the Draconian Left swindles their way back to power and stomps on the Bill of Rights again.
They aint gonna let another AWB have a sunset, this time, either.

I kinda agree, I think the left dug themselves a deeper hole. AR's used to be $800 a couple years ago, now there $400 and are everywhere cheap. They ran their mouths so much a few people started selling 80% lowers which makes a awb ineffective to enforce. The 94 ban wasn't even effective anyways. I think everyone on here already knows that.[:/

TVM would tell you that is getting cheaper.  If it ain't going up, it's getting cheaper.

You kids should have been around when we were buying surplus for $129/case.

How long ago was that?
