25k rounds of .30-06 in a M109A3

I can afford a lot of things but buying that much at one time would even tax my resources. I don't consider it hoarding, I consider it taking prudent steps in preparation for the coming Zombie Apocalypse.

Looks you are ready for anything. Nice score.

Just HOPE and PRAY THAT NONE OF IT SHOWS UP IN MEXICO Or the BATF do not show up on your doorstep Be very careful what you post about your SUPPLIES!

Really? I wonder how that would happen? The only way that ammo could possibly end up in Mexico is if it gets stolen, it's not for sale. And since the ammo came directly from the US Government the BATF already knows who bought it where it was delivered. I guess I should be more careful about letting the Gov know I have a big green truck, wait... that came from the Government too!!

stuck case removal

if you have a case head separation take a tap that fiis inside the case and run it in a few turns, carefull not to go too far or you will get the chamber wall
when it's in run a cleaning rod from the muzzle and tap it out...
just be careful and you do fine.......

Looks like the lot they brough out for our audio shoot we did this weekend.

Steve,

Split end for end or did you just leave the neck in the chamber?
My first thought is a GI broken shell extractor. Chamber it and when the bolt's extractor starts to pull the broken shell extractor back out, the end expands outward to catch the mouth of the ctg.

Another way is to take a piece of brass rod (steel rod would score the bore or chamber), split the ends and spread them out like a cotter pin. Not too much; you need to be able to squeeze the ends back together enough to get the rod started into the muzzle. Tapping the end should cause the split ends to grab and push the broken shell out of the chamber. May take several tries but then what else do you have to do with your day?

As a last resort; get rid of the head of the cartridge if it's not already gone and go after it with a chamber reamer. The reamer will cut out the brass and by taking it slow, you'll know when it's completely cleaned up the chamber.

Neck and half the shell. Nice thing is I can take the barrell off.

 

[Pawnshop]

Broken shell extractor should get it if it's the front half of the case.

 

[sermis]

Thanks for the ideas. Used an ease out. Sprayed with REM Oil, tapped it in, turned a little and out it came.

Hoarders like him are why the rest of us cannot get even a few hundred rounds of ammo at a decent price.

one must assume these are old pictures as the odcmp has limited purchases to 25 cans per purchaser: CMP Discussion Forum - AMMO PRICE INCREASE AND PURCHASE LIMIT as of 24 march.

or possibly the order was placed prior to 24 March in the year of our Lord 2009

 

[Pawnshop]

Those photos are almost 27 hours old, the ORDER however was placed months and months ago...

I have had that split casing problem with .223 as a result of high pressure loads and excessive reloading. I take a piece of threadall and thread it from the breach till it grabs then pull the casing out. Good luck

CMP has new limit as of April

.30-06 LIMIT - 10 CANS TOTAL PER YEAR - Effective 10 April 2009. .30-06 LIMIT - 10 CANS TOTAL PER YEAR - Effective 10 April 2009.

He is not hoarding, he has a lot of mouths to feed, a semi auto 1919, a pile of Garands and plenty of others. He figures that now he doesn't need to buy ammo for a while...

It is guys like him that forced the CMP to limit the number of rounds you can buy per year. And good for them.

Nice score! If people keep hoarding from the CMP, they should get that crap HXP 77 that was issued last year at the matches !!!!!!! I am wondering if the apocalype does come, how effective is a cache of weapons and ammo when you can't get to it? We should all be driving our deuces stocked of guns, ammo, and rations everywhere we go----NOT!

 

[airmech3839]

Buy guns and ammo when you can and as much as you can afford! I am all for your right to keep and bear arms. This is also(for now) a free market where if you are not limited by laws purchase as much as you can afford if you can't, sorry. If you cannot get ammo from normal means and you have money look to find other legal venues to aquire your rounds. Plenty of places out there to get good ammo! Just not always large amounts or cheap!

 

[David_4x4]

If you people think this is hoarding, some need to look on the NFA boards.
