As a disclaimer, this is all range pickup brass. It has not been cleaned, just counted. Some may be a little grungy, but it might clean up.

185 25 Auto
~200+ 32 Auto (its a 4x4 ziplock bag full)
8 32 S&W
76 44 Mag
2 5.7x28
2 22 Hornet
2 7mm Mauser Rusty
1 7mm Rem Mag Rusty
1 6mm Rem
1 8mm Mauser
1 270
4 7mm TCU
11 35 Remington

I do have some live ammo, I can't ship that, but I can deliver it to Michigan. It is factory ammo.

Box of 50 FN 5.7x28 40gr Hornady bullets
22 270 Winchester 130gr SP

As always, I'm open to trade for stuff. I load for 380 Auto, 9mm, 38/357, 41 Mag, 357 SIG, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, 223/5.56, 308, 30-06, 30-30, 32 Win Special, 6.8 SPC, 300BLK.

I have some empty RCBS die boxes. I'm switching over to the larger Hornady boxes and I hate to just throw away stuff. I have some extra reloading dies too. I'll work on a list of what they are, if anyone is interested.

I have about 600 30-06 cases my RSO gave me because he knew I have an M1. He got them from a customer, placed neatly in the factory ammo boxes they came in...

A M1 is on my list to get, then I will have all the 'modern era' wood stock battle rifles. Going back older than the 1903A3 will require more $$$, but then again, maybe not. I like ones that I can shoot and are in decent shape. My 03A3 is a Smith Corona rifle, looks brand new and shoots well as long as the operator does his part. I paid $250 for it back in the 80s.

Parts are hard to come by. I had to replace the OP Rod and OP Rod Catch. Found only one guy on ebay selling those at the time.
If I can find an original M1 Carbine in good condition at a decent price, Ill be happy.

I shot a M1 back in the late 80's early 90's. It was an interesting gun. Careful not to get your finger when loading.
