    M2 in reserve.

    Was out in the garage setting up a few new jack posts so I had to take a photo of some of my M2 sitting in reserve.

          Too bad about the cracks in the cement block. Could you move some of those boxes so we can see more?

            When this garage was put up in the 60s the footings were only down 18" so the frost has played havoc over the years. Somehow I think the blocks , as they are, will last longer than I do.
            Once upon a time I was going to jack up the building and pour a new foundation, but priorities change.

              No AP from the 2010 CMP sell-off?

              BTW, if you haven't yet shot any, the ammo in those 520 round spam cans is beautiful stuff. Groups nice and looks great. It was a little spendy compared to the earlier CMP Talon and HXP offerings, but I'm glad I got some.

                Didn't get any of the 2010 ap but I did pick up 1K of the linked wwII AP that they let go a few years ago and more recently a few hundred rnds of api. Most of my 06 is in a different location. This was just the most recent and it looked like a good place to store some.

                  FWIW, on that API, which had all FN55 headstamps on the stuff they sent me, I pulled down a few rounds and tested primers. They came back non-corrosive! I reloaded the powder and bullets into some AYR56 cases, also NC/Berdan-primed.

                    I just picked up the api to put away for a small investment. I don't intend to shoot any at what it goes for now.

                      nf1e,
                      looks similar to some of what I'm trying to get rid of but in 762!

                        My 7.62 is in a different location. I think I have a couple of lifetimes of each. Glad I bought plenty of ammo before I retired and the prices skyrocketed.

                          I understand nf1e but now it's time for me to lighten the stores some but only 7.62. All my other stuff stays (for now anyway).
