I have 3 50cal ammo cans full of M2 links and are wondering what they are worth? I don't have a M2HB (I wish I did but I can't afford to feed it). Thanks

The cans are worth $5.00-$7.00 each, the used links are worth $.06- $.09 each.
Just what I have observed lately.

I will give you $45.00 shipped for the cans of links if you decide to sell.
Thanks realsnook

Try to get some shipped they charged me 35.00 for shipping I said no thanks.
Good price but shipping was too pricey for me...

1000/ M9 links weigh close to 40lbs. Sometimes shipping is more than the items' price.

1000 links will fit into two of the large USPS flat rate boxes for $12.50 ea. Or 3 of the standard (original) flat rate boxes at $9.30 each.


Also are these links "M9" or "M2" links for the M2HB? Two different models.

That was my issue with oldsarge but never let that bring you down I went to my local surplus store and told the guy that I can get them at .02 and he was willing to sell at the same price... so I walked out with around 500 or so link yeah had to pay tax but still made out

What is the diffrence?

What is the diffrence?

Different styles. The M2 was early ones (WWII) and the M9 are current production. Two differences, first is the single large loop is closed over with a finger tab on the M9 and open on the M2. Second, the smaller neck loop is deeper on the M2 vs M9. I donot think one can mix a belt of these two together at once and fire reliably but I do know that either a belt of M2 links or M9 links will feed fine in M2HB without changes.


M9 link is on top

I looked through the box quickly and a bunch of them said M9 and some said 12.7R1M1

where do you live ? maybe someone can do a FTF ? I bought some at knob creek a couple years ago for 20.00 for a 1000

I have run either the M2 or M9 links or a mix of both in mine without a problem.

 

[southbysouthwest]

I have run .... a mix of both in mine without a problem.

That is good to know, thanks for the feedback. I have always kept them separate when linking a belt up.

25 -27.60 flat rate vs 35 bucks for a vendor who has to weigh and ship them, pay for advertising, run a web site, overhead etc. and you have a problem with that? Cheap is cheap and you are cheap. Your like the customers with the BMWs ( that require Mobile 1 )who ***** at a 22 dollar oil change. Crying over a few cents on a link to hold a 2-3 dollar round, to shoot through a multi thousand dollar gun; give me a break. What's for dinner tonight Ramen?

Hmm, not sure your point here Ouchman, but it is OldSarge's DropZone (you know the vendor) that will ship using USPS Flat Rate Boxes if you ask. They do it for me on every order. If one doesn't specify, then it goes UPS at the higher rate. Same amount of work for them and they are happy to do it.
