CAMP PERRY, OHIO – -(AmmoLand.com)- AmmoLand readers here is an update on 30-06 ammunition availability from the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

AP .30-06 M2 BALL: The .30-06 AP ammo that we now have available includes headstamps: AYR, SL, TW, and LC. Dates of manufacture vary from the 1940s to the 1950s. Most of the ammo is corrosive, but some may be non-corrosive.

The ammo is packaged in 8 round M1 Garand enbloc clips, in bandoleers, in spam cans.

Purchases of multiple cans will be shipped in what appear to be the original wooden crates (two spam cans per crate). Cans and crates will be selected luck of the draw as to the headstamp.

4C3006U202-192P. Single spam can (192 rounds). $60.00. S&H at $8.95 per can. CMP will not ship any AP ammo to Massachusetts, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands. The following states do have laws regarding AP ammo, but the laws are unclear as to whether or not they apply to .30-06 AP ammo, since this ammo was designed for use in a rifle and not in a handgun. Customers from these states should be aware that even though .30-06 AP may be currently sold in their states, there is a risk of arrest and prosecution for the possession of .30-06 AP, depending on how their local law enforcement officers interpret their state definition of “Armor Piercing or Restricted ammo”.

These states are: California, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Rhode Island, Tennessee, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, and Nevada. Residents of these and all other states should check your state and local laws on ammunition sales before ordering. Even in states where state law does not prohibit AP, there may be cities within that state that prohibit or restrict possession of AP ammo.

BELTED .30-06 AMMO: CMP now has a small quantity of .30-06 belted ammo. M2 Ball, .30-06, Belted in 250 rd Ammo cloth belts, in .30 cal cans. Manufactured by Kynoch Works (British). 4C3006B200-250P. Corrosive primers. Manufactured 50-53. Weight 18 lbs per can. S&H per can – $9.95. See the ammunition tab on Estore at https://estore.odcmp.com

Regarding Military Brass Destruction

Regarding Military Brass Destruction

Montana Shooting Sports Association

Montana Shooting Sports Association

Montana --(Ammoland.com)- Montana U.S. Senators Baucus and Tester have sent a strongly-worded letter to the Department of Defense insisting on answers soon to pointed questions about military brass destruction. Thanks to Baucus and Tester for this effort.

You may read the Baucus/Tester letter at: http://www.progunleaders.org/ammo/Update2.html

It seems that there may be two separate problems related to destruction of military brass:

  1. The sweetheart side deals defense contractor ATK has been promoting with military installations to destroy brass, and
  2. That many military installation commanders may not be in compliance with a congressional prohibition that no Congress-appropriated funds may be used to destroy brass. This may be because DoD simply didn’t make the effort to inform installation commanders that Congress had prohibited destruction of brass. Here’s the language that was included in the 2009 Department of Defense appropriation by Congress:

“None of the funds available to the Department of Defense may be used to demilitarize or dispose of M-1 Carbines, M-1 Garand rifles, M-14 rifles, .22 caliber rifles, .30 caliber rifles, or M-1911 pistols, or to demilitarize or destroy small arms ammunition or ammunition components that are not otherwise prohibited from commercial sale under Federal law, unless the small arms ammunition or ammunition components are certified by the Secretary of the Army or designee as unserviceable or unsafe for further use.”

It will be very interesting to see what answers Baucus and Tester get from DoD by the deadline set in their letter. ALSO, members of Congress from other states need to be pestered to join Baucus and Tester in this effort, or make similar efforts separately.
