Alliant Tech has received an additional $42 million in small-caliber ammunition orders from the U.S. Army Sustainment Command in Rock Island, Ill. Work on the contracts will be performed by ATK Small Caliber Systems at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) in Independence, Mo. The orders are for the production of 5.56mm, 7.62mm and .50-caliber ammunition.

I wonder what their price per round is.

I'm picking up over 1000 rounds of Lake City 5.56 for 10 cents per round this weekend.

When .50 is considered "small caliber", you know they're packin some biiig guns.

Could you pick up 1000 rounds for me please?

The source I'm getting it from bought it years ago. He's got 2 30 round AR mags and 1 20 round. He was planning on buying an AR but never got around to it, so has been sitting on this stuff for a long time.

So I'm buying the mags for $130, and the ammo thrown in for free.

You know you suck, right?

Yep I suck bigtime.

I figure I had it coming though. I've never won a karma, or a raffle of any sort. Even scratch tickets I might buy once in a while are all losers!

It is a pretty sweet deal, and although I told him it's worth much more (he's a friend), he said "I don't care, I paid 10 cents a round. Might as well give it to someone who'll use it."

How come I don't have friends like this?
