Garand Ammo

You take a look at 7.62 milsurp lately? (you might with that fancey new toy of yours
). Point is, what the ammo is worth, is usually always less then what its going to sell for.But if it makes you feel better, fine, -.50 cents a round, he actually pays you .50 cents to take it!
But really, those are usually the prices I see, or see quoted in past "whats this ammo worth threads" for Milsurp rifle ammo. Like I said, it was my awsomly great guess.
(man I am just bored, this is like the fifteenth post today)

Good point I suppose, the clips/bandoleers are the real bonus! I was going to quote around 75ish cents a rd. Thats me though, and Im going by what I have paid for milsurp 8mm mauser/.303 etc...

Collector value too hey? I always try to get all the bits that go with each rifle - ammo pouches, cleaning kit, bayonet etc. - so if the bandoleers are OEM and dated, good addition to collection rather than just paper punchers.

It could also depend upon the dates of the ammo, the maker, the type, and packaging. An original ammo tin with Garand ammo in bandoliers would be worth a lot more than loose stuff.
National Match stuff for the Garand was loaded up until a few years ago. I have seen AP in Garand clips. I think it was in the mid-50s that the non-corrosive stuff was loaded by all the makers, as some corrosive ammo was still in use in the early 50s.

Back around 1972-3 the old Super S Drug store in Calgary was selling boxes full of AP ammo put up in en-bloc clips. I bought a bit at the time, but was already getting all the Cdn DA 55 ball I needed as a freebie from my "employer"-1PPCLI.
"...got a line on..." Buy it. You won't find any more though.
"...the mid-50s..." The U.S. military went to non-corrosive primers in 1952 for regular issue ammo. Of course, existing supplies of corrosive ammo still existed in U.S. National Guard armouries, etc.
