There is one place. Fulton Armory is another.

Best thing to do is to order ammo M2 ball from the CMP. That will give you the ammo and clips as well.

For the GI real deal Welcome to Bartlett Reloaders - Miscellaneous Page Foreign made or clips of unknown origin can cause feeding problems.Chinese made clips,usually unmarked on the base,are to be avoided like the plague.Here's how to identify most Wolfies M1 Clip Collection

Um, the CMP may not be taking orders for M2, I've heard they're almost out of it and are concentrating on filling existing orders (like MINE! )

I bought 100 M1 enbloc clips from Fred's M14 Stocks. He offers "lightly rusted" original GI clips for a great price, but he's pretty slow at shipping. I did eventually get them, now I just need to de-rust them. They're not damaged, just light surface rust is all. He also has cleaner ones for a little higher price. Fred's Riflemans Accessories Rusty are 10 for $4, clean are 10 for $7.50, $25 minimum purchase.

The only thing listed on the CMP ammo page currently is BBs.A limited amount is available at the stores but it was posted that it won't last long.To purchase ammo takes the same requirements as purchasing a rifle.

Besides the CMP takes four month to get. If you can't find any e-mail me I got some.

LOL If you order from Fred's don't be in any hurry.His shipping schedule can vary a few weeks(6 to 12)to a few months(3 to 6).Some people have reported never receiving their orders.He has many loyal followers and his goods are the real deal not some imported garbage.

I got lucky when I purchased my Garand. The guy was selling of alot of his collection for cash to avoid having his wife getting a hold of the value of them in his divorce. I received 300 rounds on clips with three bandoliers and then another 100 rounds of mismatched 30.06. I noticed when I loaded some of these metal cased rounds the clips would not latch into the magazine. At first I thought it might have been the clips that were bad. Then I unloaded one of the clips and reloaded it with some M2 ball ammo and the clip when right in? I do not know the difference. I looked at the stampings on the round an they are marked SPRNG 30.06 and then some type of stamping that I can not figure out. has anyone experienced this before. The rounds casings are silver in color with a FMJ copper bullet and a black ring around the base of the bullet.
