I have to wait for my Fulton M14 another 2-6 months and my Fulton carbine another 4-6 months. I have 12K of .308 & 20 mags from 44mag and couldn't wait any longer. I will still keep the one I ordered from Fulton when it comes in and keep it for my son to use.  Range report next week.  www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=64067485

The rifle is worthless without ammo. I am 60 and over 1/2 of my friends have died or are seriously ill. These days I treat myself pretty well. Our last son is going to college next year and that's it. I got the wife and kids taken care of if I croak tomorrow or live to be 90. My hobbies financially hurt no one. I picked the wrong time to be buying .308 but you can't win them all. I have a lifetime supply of 5.56, .30-06, 30 Carbine, and assorted pistol ammo. I just ordered 2k more Paki from Widener's and that should do it for .308. I can only shoot one gun at a time. I remember the days when I would buy ammo one 20 round box at a time. Those times were good too. Good health to ya builttoughf250  Midway 3K Winchester Q3130 $1592. Natchez 2K Federal XM762D $956. Widener's 7K Paki $1771. 44 Mag 20 Mags $458. Now you see why I was in a bit of a hurry to get the M1A

That's not a bad price for a in stock Fulton. It's $70 over the price of the identical Fulton I have had on order for 2 months. Not bad for a gotta have it now mark up + I am still purchasing the one I have on order when it comes in.  Checked the SA and I couldn't find one in stock that wasn't marked up. A local dealer has SA loaded but with his mark up and 7% sales tax it comes out to be about the same. As far as the .308 Garand forget about it I am not much of a purest on things except the Garand. Only .30-06 chambered Garands for me. With the price of ammo from the CMP being what it is there is no upside of a 308 Garand I can see. I have to say I love it when someone looks at a loaded enbloc and says holy chit. The .308 make be equal in power but to me bigger means better when it comes to Garand ammo. To each his own I guess. Happy shooting Napoleon |
so youre the one who cleaned out the ammo supply! im 24, and trying to live on your motto but my budget doesnt always allow it.. my father is 64, maybe you could talk to him and have him see things your way? either way... if you feel the need to rid yourself of a case of 308, send me a price. i have two mouths to feed, a SOCOM16 and a M1A standard. |
When I was 24 my budget wouldn't allow for a 20 round box at times. Any yes, I do my part to clean out the ammo supply.  My philosophy is if you need something & the price is right (the .308 was high but I don't see it coming down) and you don't have to feed it, heat it, cool it, and it has a long shelf life just buy a ton of it and store it. Luckily I have the room. As far as you dad goes your on your own. If he's a shooter he has seen the price of surplus 5.56 just about double in the past year and has to make his own decision.
