    Good source for Garand ammunition:

    https://estore.odcmp.com/store/catal...ogList&cat=AMC

    They used to have the Greek surplus in enbloc clips, but I only see the 200 rounds loose in a .30 can for $98. Their shipping is usually not too bad.

    The boxed match stuff seems to be going for about $1 a round. Not sure what the clip would add to that. Be sure to check out the CMP site mentioned above and post here if you plan on selling.

    I dont think so, but Im not totally sure.

    Its old, the guy I got it from owns a Springfield 03, along with a Colt goverment 1911, OLD. And a Walther p38...OLD.

    I had to help a friend sell all this stuff and I picked these up on trade.

    Anyway, I highly doubt its greek or reloads.

    I think its all original.

    Heres some pics of the casings and the number on the Clips is:

    BR-W 5

    Some guy at tanner sold the en bloc with greek surplus for 7 bucks each, but I found this online :Match, M72: This cartridge is used in marksmanship competition firing, and can be identified by the word "MATCH" on the head stamp. So im thinking yours is better stuff,

    HOLY MARKUP, BATMAN!!!! I have some of the Greek stuff ( HXP headstamp) and it's good , but not that good.
    The clips were made by Borg Warner before 1960; the headstamp looks like Lake City match 1963;NOT M2 ball as on the can. BW clips were $2 ea at one place I looked.
    Someone just clipped up all their ammo and put it in a can rather than waste range time loading.

    The LC Match is considered some of the best brass, and the cases DON'T have the primers crimped in, which is a big plus. I'd guess they're worth around $5-$8 each, per loaded clip. The clips themselves are pretty cheap.

    Nice little score ya have there! Get an M1 and shoot 'em up. I'd offer to buy 'em but Canon City's a long ways from me, and I've already got more than I can keep track of.
