.30 Carbine ammunition

[Garys]

Anyone know of a shop in eastern MA or southern NH with a decent stock of M1 Carbine ammo?

 

[jpm]

Try Glenn's in North Reading, Collector's in Stoneham.

Fat cat sports in Bridgewater had some LC while back.

How much do you need?

 

[Garys]

I found a source, thanks.

Speaking of M1 Carbine ammo...
...has anyone ever owned/fired one of those Taurus "Raging Thirty's"? Seems like it would be a fine complement to an M1 Carbine.

No, but an enforcer by universal or iver johnson does the job nicely

I've seen one of those at the range. It was really awkward to shoot and relatively inaccurate.

 

[MSant]

I love it. Not the most accurate, but fun as anything

Collectable in Merrimack has some....last time I was there they also had some M1 carbine stripper clips and about 15 WW2 M1 carbine magazines.

Cabela's has it

Cabela's has it

I got some Herter's there. Lots of failure to feeds, but I think that's because the gun is brand new and the ammo is jacketed soft point. Not a good combination. Seemed to hand up on the ramp.

I got a box of PPU at Cabela's last weekend, when I still had hope for getting a CMP carbine. Now it's a paperweight.

I got some at Cabela's a while ago, but looking for bulk.

No, but I have shot my Ruger Super Blackhawk in .30 Carbine.

I was at Glenn's today and he has commercial and surplus 30 carbine. Bandos of 120rds (I think LC) US mil for $70

 

[Garys]

Which shop is Glenn's?

Rileys NH today had PPU 110gr FMJ $219/500
They had 2 remaining when I left there at 4pm

If you still come up short, come on down to SE CT and we can roll some and shoot on site.
I don't have much in the way of bullets beyond the Lyman 311410, but I do have a few hundred empties on hand.

I also saw some this weekend at Collectors in Stoneham and North Shore

We always have some Aguila .30 Ammo in stock.

These were some old odd ones

 

[garandman]

I bought 1,500 rds of USGI last year, might be willing to cough some up if you are in a bind.

I think this stuff was early "self" defense ammo. Soft tip expanded a lot. I know about the same time they had hollow points filled with primer compound that would go off on impact. Much like glueing strike anywhere match compound to a hollow point pellet as a kid. Fun times.
