GI .30 Carbine Ammo

Is there a source for purchasing GI .30 Carbine ammo ?

AmmoSeek lists 6 or 7 different places that carry it.

As noted by the first responder to your note - there are several sites to find ammo. GI specific - I doubt that's would be listed.

Have seen it in Academy Sports, Bass Pro and Sportsman's Warehouse. Some larger gun shops also have it. DCM/ CMP sold lots years ago, many stocked up.

The last I purchased was from CMP. They had a limit of 240 rounds. Check there inventory.

Specifically only loaded GI ammo? Unless CMP still has some for sale, it's not often encountered. Maybe some could be found at gun shows or at some websites like GunBroker. I have about 1000 rounds of GI ammo, mainly WWII, put away. For the most part I reload all ammo for shooting purposes. I once bought about 5000 pulled military .30C bullets, still have maybe 2000 remaining, probably have around 1000 fired cases, mainly GI, for reloading.

I always reload mine as well. It's as easy as reloading .38 special...

I have a bunch and no carbines, so for sale very reasonable. AnnieRea1920

I'm only seeing one legit seller of Lake City on Ammoseek.
CMP may occassionally have some, but one must be an eligible buyer to mail order, or buy at a National match.
Your best bet is local purchase from someone who doesn't need it anymore.

I see military 30 carbine on G.B. all the time. I only have one friend that fools around with the little carbine, he says they want too much money for it and reloads his own.

Same here......I shoot a lot of cast lead bullets in those I have......NEVER clogged a gas port..........NEVER will.

There's a fair amount of counterfeit ammo sold as USGI, works OK but accuracy is awful.
A fair amount of the factory ammo is like that these days and I see a big difference between original milspec brass or good factory ammo and the cheap ammo or fake GI in terms of accuracy when reloading.
