Have about a 100 rounds of LC51 in stripper clips. Worth anything?

Looks like the Korean surplus from the 80's (good stuff) is presently going for about 75 cents a round packed on clips. Your Lake City is about 30 years older, but guessing you could get about the same for it.
Yes, it's good stuff and probably worth $70-$80.
LC52 is a different story. The Chinese produced a bunch of .30 Carbine in the 1980's and spuriously marked it LC52. It's corrosive and poorly made with inconsistent charge weights. The only other corrosive Carbine ammo I'm aware of was the French made ammo. Because of the way the gas system was staked on a n M1 Carbine, you should never shoot corrosive ammo in one.

Recently saw some " south of the border" .30 Carbine for $79.99/50. Last bought was through the club from DCM, $150/1000.
