surplus 30/06

I've never seen case lots of .30-06 ball in 30 plus years. In any case, .30-06 hasn't been used by any major military since the 1960's.
 
I have been shooting my Garand for 20 years and haven't seen much surplus 30-06 at all in Canada, pre-9/11 I used to get some while down in the USA.
 
The best deal now is of course stateside, with wonderful Greek ammo:

I think the US bought the remaining 17million rounds the Greeks surplused out a few years ago. I think this might be the last large stash of surplus 3006 that will come to market - but sadly not our market.:(

I took a course run by a former CMP director. Interesting stories. i believe all that 06 is stored at Anniston. I think they did a deal with the Greeks for it.
 
I was standing in MilArm one day about 15 years ago when 30 cases of Lake City 1969 M2 ball rolled through the door.

They sold out in about 2 weeks and I have never seen surplus .30-06 ball for sale in this country since.
 
I got some stateside before 9/11 ruined everything. Yep, I remember bringing back 3k rounds at $200/1000. It was nice Greek stuff too. Ahhh....those were the days......now gone...:(
 
What does 9/11 have to do with anything? Does the Afghani army now run M1 Garands to fight the Taleban?

9/11 has to do with EVERYTHING.
Nothing has been the same since.
Somebody stuffs a plane into a building, and now gun makers are not sure if they can ship a manual (A printed book!) outside of the US.

A knee jerk reaction by lawmakers immediately after 9/11 was a draconian lockdown and they made exporting nearly anything gun related a no go. You can no longer go and buy ammo, or many gun parts, in the US and bring it back to Canada with you. That is over. Some stuff is still done on the commercial level but with lots of paper work and hassle. For the individual driving over the border to get stuff and bring it back with all the legal paperwork done you might as well forget it - mission impossible..

All of those restrictions were in place under Clinton, years before 9/11. I don't think a single new restrictions is in place now that wasn't in place before 1998.

The only thing 9/11 MIGHT have done is raise awareness of those laws.
