Thanks to the CMP I have 2 Garands, an M1 Carbine and an '03 Springfield as well as several cases of 30-06 and 30 carbine shipped straight to my office door, even in Illinois (but not Crook county).

Always funny when ammo arrives...

"What's in the ammo can?"

"Open it and see."

"OMG! It's full of ammo!"

"Ummmm, that's probably why they call it an ammo can."
