Free 30-06 ammo

[pull the trigger]

A guy I know gave me 2 loaded rounds of 30-06 today. Now I gotta buy a rifle to shoot em.

[mold maker]

Get the dies and a mould or two. Also a bunch of brass while you look for a rifle.
Once ya get a rifle two rounds wont get it done.
Been there and done that.

[scattershot]

Makes sense to me, I've done the same thing.

I was at a gun show last weekend. Saw a 1917 sporter with a 4X Weaver and Boyds (?) stock.
looked good... $225.00 They are out there.

[lancem]

First thing that comes to mind is an M1 Garand....

[Gtek]

Just wondering- Is that better or worse than been given a mould in which you do not have the correct pipe and buying something to shoot them?

[Lead Fred]

I sold an odd six Mauser for $80 bucks a few months ago. Guy says it shoots better than his Remington

[richhodg66]

It's just downright weird for a man to not own an '06. You need to get that situation taken care of ASAP.

[Hardcast416taylor]

About 30 years back I was looking at some of my fired `06 brass wondering what could be made from them. Now I look at my .338-06 brass and wonder what took me so long? My advice is visit a gunshop and ask "what`s on the shelf in `06 for a nominal sum"?Robert

I had to buy a .45 pistol because I had picked up so many pieces of 45 brass that I had to have a gun to shoot them. I shoot that gun more than my other pistols now.

As far as the 06 goes I feel that every American should own one. It's the patriotic thing to do.

Love to see pics of people on the NY Subways with Garands on their shoulders. I bet crime would drop right off the charts.

I saw a pic once of a Israeli School teacher on a field trip with her kids. She had an M1 carbine on her shoulder.

This could be coming to us very soon.

No '06................OMG! Please, remedy that horrible situation.........and FAST!

I gladly accept ANYTHING gun-related that is given to me whether I shoot it or not. Who knows what will pop up in the future!

"This could be coming to us very soon."

not with the bedwetters we have here.

[triggerhappy243]

got my son an 06... then I had to have one... his shoots better.... what was I thinking?

[tazman]

I sold a 223 rifle 15 years ago.
Three weeks ago I was looking through/cleaning out the back part of my garage and came across a dusty 30cal ammo can. Guess what I found in it.
Yup, roughly 400 rounds of 223 loaded up with match bullets. I completely forgot I had them.
Now I don't know what to do. I really have no use for a 223 except to shoot up that ammo.

[dragon813gt]

I built an AR because I had so much brass. I have a few 308s so I started buying military brass in bulk. Now I'm buying rifles chambered for rounds I can make out of 308 brass. Outside of a M1 I have no desire for an '06. I have rifles that span it's power range.

[triggerhappy243]

In these parts that kind of find would mean 400 dead prairie dogs.

[tazman]

No prairie dogs here in Illinois that I know of. We have coyotes but I could hunt them for years and not shoot up all that ammo. Way too much gun for squirrels and rabbits.

[kungfustyle]

Go get a savage in 223 and sell it when you are done. Don't know if you have a local on-line trader or not but I picked up a 06 Savage for $200. Can't go wrong at that price and you will find someone to buy it for that.
As far as the OP goes, can't see a better reason to get another gun. What you have there sir is an 06 starter kit.

[Motor]

Been half lookin for a 06' in 742 Remington to go along with my 742 .308 Thing is I have a lot more 7.62x51 and .308 brass than 06' brass still can't help to take that long look when I see one in the local want adds though. Which around here is just about every week.

Thats kind of like buying your wife a new pair of shoes. A new outfit is going to join them soon.
