Today a wonderful young lady I work with asked me if I wanted some ammo, her boyfriend had to get it out of his mother's house and he knew I might be interested. This was some he inherited about 10+ years ago, all in perfect condition. I'd given him some Winchester Ranger 9mm and .40 S&W before and he was glad to return the favor.
It consisted of a smattering of 30 06, some 380, 38 special, 45 auto, but of more significance about 2000+ rounds of yellow box Norinco 223 Remington (head stamp C J 4), a full case of 1000 Q3131 (head stamp WCC 88), and at least 2000 rounds of American Eagle 223 55 grain boat-tail (head stamp 223 REM FC) and 1500 plus rounds of UMC .308 150 grain metal case (head stamp 308 WIN RP) as well as a heck of a lot of 7.62X39, some Chinese and some Arabic I'd guess by the writing on the boxes. A couple of 30 rd Okay magazines were in the lot also, along with at least 1 magazine I didn't even recognize (30 06 I believe). Most of this was packed away in 50 cal ammo boxes, the Q3131 was still sealed in it's case with a $109.95 price tag (remember those days) on the side. Overall, for a Monday at work it was a pretty good day! |

You know you were going to get slammed for that post.
You better go buy a lottery ticket too. |
|
|
I recognize all of those as defective lots. I'll send you an address via IM for proper disposal.
|
|
See, you should shoot your ammo or someone is just going to give it away to some lucky sucker down the road when you die.
|
|
No kidding, I would like to see what you would want to trade for one box of The real M193, I would like to have one for my collection. |
|
|
And you, of course, will be passing those incredible savings on to us, RIGHT??????
No kidding! What a find! Reminds me of the time I .............. (boring, self-gratifying story ensues) |
|
Not if you have kids and raise 'em right Either way if I kick off before my ammo does, I'd be honored for my next of kin to just give it away to arfcom if they hadn't use of it. Better to give it to people who will get some good use out of it than turn it in at the cop shop or something. |

I am just hating you more now. you can stop rubbing it in.. You hurt my feeling. |
|
|
something like that would never happen to me, I'm jealous and I hate you
Bastage!!!!! |
|
I'm feel'n the love! |
|
|
You need to have a shooting party and burn that stuff up real quick so you don't feel too bad. Invite all your friends with guns!!!!!
|
|
Let me guess - you tooled the g/f sooooo well she said to b/f - this here guy is soooo good give him all your ammo.
|
|
edwin, have you ever thought of moving to PA, especially the Philly area?
Think about it, I would hate to have to have you shoot all that ammo all by yourself that would be a horrible thing for a fellow ARFComer to let happen to another. We need to help each other out and I just want to let you know that I am here for you BASTAGE!!!!!!! |
|
I'll bite, tell me about that rifle of yours...I am guessing: Larue Tactical Forend Larue Tactical scope mount of some sort Smith Enterprise Vortex Hogue Grip Magpul Ranger Plate Tell me about the stock, scope, bipod, barrel and any other cool options (ie; everything else). Btw, I very much approve of the Larue stuff, the Ranger Plates, and Vortex, etc. I may have to literally imitate your build, as I like it so much! KOTB |

I had a friend at work give me a TAG watch and an Ipod Nano and I thought I was doing good.
|
|
Damn.... if i were ever in a position where i was living with my mom, and she said i had to get rid of that much ammo.....
..I would 1. Rent a storage unit or find a friend to hold it. OR 2. Sell it and use the funds to get my own apartment..... there is enough there to do it. BUT, I would never advise someone of those things if he had the intention of giving the stuff to me. |
|
YOU SUCK!!!
did you take the dude out and let him drink for free at least? |
|
CONGRATS.... Sure beats the case of Herpes a chick at work gave me some time back!!!
|
|
You have just proven that it is possible to a) hate a person you've never met, b) envy him enormously, c) wonder if this person you hate will still "do you a favor" and d) wonder at what's still stashed in some people's garages and basements, all at the same time.
Enjoy! P.S. if you want to get rid of some of that .30-06, let me know... |
|
I just wanted to let you know that I am still extremely jealous and I still hate you. Every time I look at this thread I just get more envious
bastage!!! |
|
So, let me guess. YOU'RE KEEPING ALL OF IT!!!!!??????
Just kidding. But, if it is just too much for you, please call. Lucky sumbitch. |
|
^ It shouldn't be funny, but it kinda is. |
|
|
Sure it was a 30-06 magazine, and not 308? Musta been for a BAR or something... does anyone else know what used 30-06 in a mag? Might be a collector's item. Git some reeel good money for it. |
|

I've got lots of that Norinco ammo, and it gives me nothing but trouble.
