I wonder what that sumbich weighs?

Oh, and 'Merica!

 

[Kruel J]

Group buy?

 

[Medic!]

$.31 for 5.56 and $.51 for .7.62.
No great bargain.

But cool as a novelty.

Novelty? Hell I'd love to buy one just to make sure I had enough ammo......for the year.

The current federal rebate counts with this.

I'd be down if it wasn't retail.

All jokes aside...same for me.

Oh, and 'Merica!

The barrel of 855 weighs 354 lbs per Brownells web site. I couldn't exactly dead lift one, but I could get into the garage! How I'm gonna fit it in my bug-out bag is another matter.

$.31 for 5.56 and $.51 for .7.62.
No great bargain.

But cool as a novelty.

For M855 it's not terrible.

 

[cigars]

Why... because we can!
(Can...see what I did there?)

You're just a barrel of laughs.

You're just a barrel of laughs.

Duly noted.

 

[Member 34319]

The worst part about it would be the last 100 or so roundsat the bottom.

 

[RVTECH]

kinda makes ya wonder about a previous question with regard to how much ammo might have been 'warehoused' during the shortages....

Oh, and 'Merica!

I'll bet UPS won't be delivering that!

 

[E4mafia]

When can I attach this to my AR and have non stop firing?

Im just imagining a type of feed system from the barrel (the one storing the ammo not the shooty end) to the mag well and all you need to do is decide on static fighting position or make it mobile with wheels.

Whole new meaning to the drum magazines.

How many rounds does your drum hold?
55 gallons.

Wonder if this is the result of the military romancing a new rifle caliber... Could just be dumping surplus on the market. But it's sure not at surplus pricing...
