    Bought 4 lbs 4759

    I bought four pounds of 4759 from a friend today. I gave him $70 for it. It looks good and smells OK even though it is over half as old as me and that's saying something. It was made 5-73. I figured, what the heck, I can't go to the store and buy any.

    ..............Hang on to it for awhile and you might be able to double your money? Wonder if SR4759 will every appear as a surplus gov't powder again like it did once before?
