@@Coldfront15’s a REALLY good price don’t get me wrong but ammo isn’t really something you go cheap on in the normal world.

Looks like it was kept well. I am curious on the failure rate of such rounds. Remember chemicals also degrade although I'm not sure about a damn thing on it. Curious if they keep the same performance for instance. Edit: I know ammo can be stored for a while and the expiration date is just there for liability reasons. I also know chemicals lose potency over time even properly sealed. Everything has an expiration date - I'm curious on the time and failure rates. Just a quick Google search says misfires do increase. So you can stop telling me that they'll last for a while. Yes. Details is what I want!

For those who need more info: The CMP is a Congress-charted program that sells government surplus firearms and ammunition at super cheap prices (compared to the same stuff on the private market). The CMP also teaches and encourages marksmanship and hosts and sanctions matches nationwide. This ammunition is generally fantastic to shoot, especially for modern M1 Garand owners. It was stored well over all these years, and functions well and groups pretty decently in most rifles. The only priblem is that most of the super cheap surplus .30-06 has dried up over the years, so when you can get it and for cheap, go ahead and grab it. You do have to go through a couple easy steps to be eligible to purchase from the CMP, but it's well worth it. I got my first M1 from them many years ago, and have bought both the Greek surplus and Lake City ammo from them, with great results on all.

It’s interesting to note that the M1 and its contemporary firearms from WW2 and earlier were typically officially phased out of service before 1969. However many of these guns would remain in military inventory for national guard and rear echelon units like Artillery and Field hospitals well after Vietnam. In fact the M3 “Grease Gun” SMG, originally designed in 1942 to replace the Thompson, was beloved by Abrams Tank crewmen in the gulf war for its reliability and ease of use.

Shot lots of that particular vintage. It shoots very well out of M1 Garands.

Hard to see it as surplus when it's a dollar around. Used to be that the civilian marksmanship program was about preparing Americans to defend our country.

Hey let me give you some advice: if you ever open a box of ammo, keep it until every bullet from the box has been used. Because if the ammo is bad and causes a misfire, malfunction, or destroys the firearm, you can isolate the ammo that caused the problem and throw it away. Also you could be entitled to compensation from the ammunition manufacturer.

I think it’s the smell of the cardboard decaying which allegedly smells like dust and vanilla (go check the old yellow books in the library if you want a feel). That or it’s sulphur because the gunpowder has gone bad

You wouldn’t be fiddling around with boxed ammunition anywhere near the front line. Imagine opening this. Dumping a box. Opening the box, and then trying to load your enbloc clips while getting fired at. This type of ammo was opened way behind the front, loaded into clips and belts and then taken to the front ready to use.

@@joshanderson924 it’s anecdotal but the only time I ever saw boxed, unclipped ammo was stateside. Overseas all ammo we received was in 30 round boxes, on clips, in 4 pocket bandoliers.

That smell is known as FREEDOM

Back in the late 80s, I used to do a lot of high powered rifle competitive shooting. I loved shooting the M-1. I was told we were using WW2 surplus ammo. I never recall ever having had an issue with the reliability of a single bullet.

When the government sends you expired bullets...

Nice. The old ammo box is cool too. Would make a great lunch box if you're working on a building site or something!

"Civilian marksmanship programme" - we in the UK could only dream of having a government that cared how well we could shoot. We had one 700 years ago.

what does freedom have to with guns?

Ammo pack.... Airdrop

very inspired by your videos been collecting wwii usgi since i was 10 and am considering starting a youtube channel with my friend just snagged a 1950 repack of denver arsenal 30-06 in cartons all 43 dated super excited about it

How lucky you are to have such an opportunity to open and use that kind of ammunition!

can we get more videos like this?

I remember when you could buy a ammo can of 350 rounds of ball ammo in 5.56 from academy for 90 Dollars and this was when trump was in office i stocked up and have 6500 rounds of ball 5.56 ammo andnalso have 5 ammo cans of 400 rounds or military surplus as well that is from Vietnam erra. And the surplus old ammo also had a hissing sounf like it was air tight sealed and all the ammo is in mint condition and i already shot one ammo can of the old ones and never had one miss fire or jam. I try to buy as much olf military surplus ammo as i can for all my guns cause its cheaper and they are sealed up pretty well for long term storage. And i have 2 ammo cans of the 308 m2 just like yours and i jave shot 100 rounds of it already and never had a problem with them as far as accuracy they are very consistent

my man forgot to say "nice hiss"

I ordered my Garand and fed ex delivered it 9 days later, I ordered my can of ammo on Monday, and fed ex delivered it on Thursday. What a fantastic experience it was. The absolute best people to do business with.
