Just got off the phone with a buddy out West-
F- Hey, you shoot M-1’s right?
Me- Yep, why?
F- Well I’m looking at 32 boxes of Lake City 63, all the same lot.
Me- (Cringing) How much?
F- Dunno, standby… mumble, mumble, okay Ah, 10 dollars a box.
Me- Get it! (doing happy dance)
F- You sure?
Me- HELL YES! I’ll get a check out to you tomorrow! He got anything else good?
F- Nah, unless you want to pay $100 a brick for Eley.
Me- Nope!!!
F- K, talk to you later
Oh man, I am SO thankful for good friends that remember what I shoot and actually look out for me!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

SWEET!
That is nice!
Carteach- Yep, and it’s CLEAN and SHINY!!! 🙂
Andy- Yep, I’ll be putting that check in FEDEX before he changes his mind!
Great deal!
Day-um!
Uh, I seem to recall hearing how Lake City was using corrosive primers in 1963. But being a pal, I’ll trade ya a slightly-used German Shepherd for that stuff.
Opus- Yep, and a damn good friend too!
Murph- Yeah, right… 🙂
You lucky booger you…my good friends double the price.
Nice friend!
I think you need to spread the wealth, NFO. For the good of your soul, and all that sort of thing . . .
😉
My M1 would love to meet your M1.
Dude, I can front you some M1 Carbine rounds. They arrived last week from CMP.
I’m a big fan of M118LR Lake City–2003, however the 63 at that price is so sweet that you’ll just gain weight by shooting it.
BUT–it’s tough to beat the Federal Premium Gold Medal .308 Winchester 168 Grain Sierra MatchKing Hollow Point Boat Tail ammo.
Now I only wish that I had a firearm.
On my bench resides 1000 of Berger 168gr VLD and 500 Sierra 168gr Match.
Just tumbled a lot of .308 Lapua and the weather is nice in Kali.
Monday will be busy…if She isn’t too insisting….sigh.
Just remember that you also have friends who send boxes sealed with “hello kitty” packing tape!
Say a prayer for Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and his friend.

Stephen- LOL, I’ve got a few of those too!
WSF- Yep! We grew up together!
Peter- We can talk 🙂
Stretch- We can do that. Next shoot I’ll bring both of mine.
Keads- I got an email, mine shipped Friday.
LL- Yep, I like that too, and I like the FGMM 173 better than the 168.
Skip- I envy you that, I can’t reload where I currently live. sigh…
Pedi- I do and I laughed! 🙂
Toejam- Yep, just saw that.
Nice!
