Let me know what I owe you for shipping!
Ok, as a very good example how PIF karma works ( thanks BDS for explaining this one to me many moons ago) and why EVERYONE should participate....
I posted this brass (above) on thursday.
I went to one of my sorta LGS's on the way back from a petfood run on Friday....
What did they have ? A 45 cal ammo can full of once fired, milspec, 30 carbine.
I shake my head in near disbelief, and ask the counter guy what the wallet damage was on the can of "empities". Yep, thats how it was spelled on the tape label on the can.
He makes a few calls, and tells me its 1,000 pieces for $40, including the can.
Do the math. Thats not a deal I could pass up- and it INCLUDED what appeared to be a very good condition GI ammo can, already yellow-lettered for 45 ball ( which I needed, anyway) with very good seals.
I thought to myself that was a pretty great deal- and took it.
I got home and started sorting. Bout an hour later, I realized this deal was getting better and better.... the total count was not 1k pieces, but 1,752.
So, If we discount the cost of this awesome can from the price of the brass, I got 1250 pieces of once fired LC brass from the 50's that still have their primers lacquered in, and 500 pieces of that nice annealed WCC from the same era- and are in awesome, once fired shape, for only $25.
I'll take 1.4c once fired rifle brass ANY DAY.
PIF it people- PIF.........
