Love the Cliff House. Dine there everytime i visit my S.F. Client. NCIRE

I worked. People seemed to torment me by breaking their 'puters today.

Now, I'm quaffing a pint of Alysian Perseus Porter (currently on tap in my basement) and I'm wondering where the best source for 7.62x51mm ball ammo is.

I haven't had a need for surplus .308 since I sold off my HK91.

Anyone have about 500 rounds of ball ammo they want to sell me?

Or trade? Got a great Olympus camera or IMX 1088 8wt!

Now that I have a new M1A to play with, I gotta put a few rounds down range with it, as well as be further stocked up when the zombie invasion begins.

Should have bought the AR-10.

Save your brass, because I'm set up to reload for .308 on my progressive.

I've heard the M1A is a bit "hard" on the brass as it ejects. Don't know if one can install an ejection port buffer on it, or not.

Anyone M1A owners out there confirm this?

Until I installed the buffer on the HK91, the brass would damn near be bent in half as it was ejected!!!

Any interest in 30-06 brass? I like to chew through those rounds with the M1 Garand!

I have a few thousand, but if you are tired of storing it....

Small pen syndrome, Marsha.

Besides the pleasure of buying Stam dinner tonight...ah, hell...you wouldn't belive it if I told you.

Todd will get very little sleep tonight, and will be fuckinfantasticallygood with that

Fish on...

P.S. NIce hanging out with you, Steve...it's been too long, glad we got the chance tonight.

Have you tried www.ammoman.com? AMMOMAN.COM

I allegedly may/may not have purchased 7.62x51mm ammo from them in the recent/not so recent past. Great prices, and most of all FREE SHIPPING! 500 or 1000 rounds weighs a lot and it's the shipping that kills you on cost.

Click on the link in the blue box for 308/7.62x51 and scroll down to the Dynamit-Noble (GERMAN) - NATO 7.62x51mm 147 GRAIN FMJBT BALL. I can attest that it is great ammo. They also get some from time to time that has slight case corrosion from storage and they sell it bulk in a .50 cal ammo can at around $200/500 rounds. I may/may not have an HK91 that may/may not eat this stuff all day long. I may/may not have 1000 rounds of WOLF too, and while I like their new anti-corrosion olive coating on their shell casings, it is some really dirty ammo. I may/may not have burned through 20 20rnd mags of the Dynamit-Nobel last time I fired it, and my alleged weapon was as dirty as the first 20rnd mag of WOlf FMJ. It is the cheapest I have found, and the best bang for the buck, so to speak. $.50 / round is pretty much normal these days, true knock-down power does not come cheap anymore!!

But, please keep in mind the above text is all supposed and alleged and may/may not be completely fictional in nature. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Parker----My M1A is not hard on brass. It has a positive tight extractor but it doesn't trash my brass like an FAL or the like (it does leave a bit of evidence that the round was violently extracted at some point of its life however it's only around the rim in the form of a small indent.) Fulton Armory has a buffer...I have no idea whether or not it works as you'd like. I have NM'd my M1A with Sadlak and it's very smooth and clean all around so I've not felt the need to worry about brass...a least not for what this rifle was designed to do.

From Fulton Armory website.

The M1A/M14 Buffer Technologies Recoil Buffer fits on the recoil spring guide rod of all M1A and M14 based rifles, regardless of manufacture. As with all other models of the Recoil Buffer, installation is simple and can be done without any special tools.
The Buffer Technologies M1A/M14 Recoil Buffer differs from others in our line of products, in that it does not end the metal to metal contact of the bolt to receiver. For a M1A/M14 to operate reliably, the bolt must impact the receiver with each firing of the weapon. This contact is required to prevent excessive stress on the roller cam on the side of the bolt.
The Buffer Technologies M1A/M14 Recoil Buffer eliminates the metal to metal contact of the operating rod to the front of the receiver. The M1A/M14 Buffer Technologies Recoil Buffer will protect your operating rod, the weak link in the M1A/M14 system, from excessive shock.

With the Buffer Technologies M1A/M14 Recoil Buffer installed you have less felt recoil, more muzzle stability, less action noise, and will extend the service life of your weapon.

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

Over three years of having a Nigerian Kenyan Socialist Muslim Islamo-Fascist in the White House...and still, no guns have been grabbed.

Leastwise...none of mine have.

Any of the chicken littles have a gun grabbed yet?

Don't bother...I know you haven't...just keeping us up to date on the grabbings...or lack thereof.

Fish on...

I had someone try to grab my junk but that was just Illy.
