WTB: M855 Green Tip

 

[AmmoManAaron]

Key parts:
"The agency said in a statement on Tuesday it would not seek to issue the final guidelines "at this time." "

"The ATF said it would instead wait until Americans have finished commenting on the federal regulations and evaluate their comments and suggestions before "proceeding with any framework." "

We've been granted a reprieve for the time being, but this is FAR from over.

I'm sure it will be just as fast as gasoline prices drop after they jack up the prices by 50 cents a gallon overnight...

In answer to your original question, the answer is NO. /THREAD

Probably.

I checked ammoseek.com just now and the cheapest I'm seeing "name brand" M855 stuff going for is American Eagle going for $0.45/round. I think that's cheaper than before but it's still no bargain.

I kind of lost track of prices since I got rid of my AR, but I remember thinking 45 cents a round for surplus was expensive a little while back. Seems like I was only paying 30-something cents.

Looks like TargetSportsUSA has American Eagle for 425/1000, but it's just the 55 gr. FMJ (from gundeals.com).
