Yeah, saw that. It's in Thursday's Plain DEaler from Cleveland.

Sub-standard ammo sent to Afghanistan....

Suckers!!!

Thats what you call an "Unintended Consequence".

If most of that ammo had been able to be imported to the US for sale by US companies and use by law abiding recreational shooters, this wouldn't have happened....And, they would have been able to sell it for a lot more than $22 per thousand rounds. Even sold as components it would have brough more money.

sweet price

$22 per 1,000 rounds......

I'm just depressed thinking of how much .308 ammo I could get at $22 per 1000..

Yeah - almost as much as I need!

That was better than my $50 per k 9mm I scored awhile back.... and also better than the $49 per 1400 case Turk 8mm from only about 3-4 years ago.

Hey.... mebbe it'll get sent back to the US... eh?
