So I bought a Garand in the classifieds here, and as a gun is useless without ammo I had gone online to buy some surplus 30.06 to feed it.
Now everyone knows the CMP has a ton of surplus 30.06 ammo so first of all I went there - I knew they only sell Garands to citizens but I was surprised to see they wont sell anything to a non-citizen
I ended up going to J&G Sales and ordered there... 2k rds of Lake City at the CMP would be $440 (and I would have got 8 ammo cans as well), 2k rds from J&G costs me $600 (+shipping) and they were the same 20rd CMP boxes (just taken out of the ammo cans).
Exact same ammo, exact same initial source, cost me $160 more as I am a non-citizen.
I really need to get things moving forward with my citizenship application.
