Thread: Fair price?

    Is this the delinked stuff in the brown Talon boxes? If so, it groups like one would expect mixed lot MG ammo to group. If in sealed cartons of the same lot, it could go for a bit more.

    Probably LC53 headstamp, sold off by the CMP a few years back. .60/round or so, IIRC. It's old but that is good shooting ammo, and NC.

    Talon stuff is remanufactured,

    they had to pull and reload the rounds to get it imported IIRC,


    I've used the pulled powder (IMR4895) they sold at the time that worked well,

    I've not shot the ammo, but have seen it sell for a bit less than 'factory' M2

    Two kinds of Talon, clearly marked. Talon brand, remanufactured. CMP delinked by Talon. Not remanufactured, but mixed lots. This stuff in the link below. Guessing he has that.

    Thanks.
    Best of luck with your health diagnostics. I dislike doctors and hospitals too but sometimes we have no choice.

    Keep us posted--at least the good parts.

    Doc report turned out to be better than expected. Probably have to have surgery but we thought it was a lot worse. Thanks for everyones thoughts/prayers.
    This ammo is LC69 delinked repackaged by Talon and not the component ammo Lyman mentioned. I have some of that remaining too and never had a problem with it. My records show I got it back in '05 but that could be another can of LC**M2, not sure. Togor, yes this is the same ammo as on your posted link. Got it from CMP years back and put it in the ammo can. 1 box isn't even opened. To answer your question M1ashooter, the can & ammo weigh in at 89.0 lbs. Brought the scale down to see. Feels like 250 to me!

    there is a vendor at the Nations Gun Show this weekend with a pile of this ammo,

    he is asking $18 a box, not sure how much haggling he does, but he is selling some

    Well, the guy was happy with the ammo but cut it down to 400 rds. Sealed the unopened box and 3 cartons back in the can and put it away for now. Thanks all for your input and hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
