Thoughts?

Well it looks exactly like what it says it is. If your looking for collectible ammo for your pistol or display. Its priced far. Chances are it will still shoot. looks like it's been kept dry stored well.

Thank you, I grabbed 2 boxes at $25 each wasn’t sure if I should go back for more at that price.

Picked this up today, with an HRA correct grade CMP Garand.

The pistol ammo was a good price. 
 

The 30 Caliber is Greek HXP isn’t it?

[dskjl]

Thx, yes I believe the garand ammo is Greek.  It was $200 for the can, and he threw in a dozen Enblocks so sprung for it.

HXP is Greek and sold by CMP for the last few years. Hear people say  ammo is $1 tp $1.30 a round at certain shows.  I had a friend give me a full can of Lake city a couple months ago.  Probably never shoot it.

The WWII 45 ammo was a good deal.  The box looked almost new.  Great find.

Not a problem if you clean your weapon after shooting.

The boxes are unopened, the pic of the open box was from the dealer display.   He had 5 more boxes I wish I would have grabbed them.

on the cleaning concern, I think cleaning after shooting is really a big part of the fun of gun ownership.

Very collectable ammo, especially sealed boxes. The small repack stamp  on that mid-war label is not often seen. Great price too.

Thank you, I was lucky and was able to get with the dealer and buy to more boxes.

Good for you. A smart purchase. I was able to get a box like that with the spam can it came in several years ago.
