I'm looking for some .30-06 blanks for our town's Memorial Day observance. The VFW in town has the rifles, but no ammo. Another member here is looking as well for his town. He posted in the Firearms Accessories forum, but I think this will get more views here in General.
If you have some blanks or know where I can order them in time for next weekend, please let me know.

Thanks!

Rileys had a can of blanks in their "used stuff" section last I checked. I don't recall if they were .308 or .30-06 blanks. I'll be stopping by tomorrow and will let you know what they are.
 
Doesn't the weapon have to be modified to fire blanks?

I know none of our current issue weapons are capible of cycling blanks without adapters.
 
pg 36 here has where you can order a $#!# load from & the price is right!
