Haven't fired any of these rounds yet. They appear to be in very good condition. Very fast shipping three days to my door. Based on other reviews I figure they will work just fine in my modern reproduction inland m1 carbine.

Excellent price during these times. Bud's is the only business that has not jacked their prices up. Months ago this ammo was in the low $400, Bud's is the only business that kept the same price all others jacked theirs up to over $600.

Every now and then, a cache of milsurp ammo comes to market that is a cost-effective, delight for the shooter. This Korean .30 Carbine is just that--I'm into a second can using a 1943 "shooter" GI carbine, without a single failure to feed or misfire. Both cans are 1980s production; one had a corner of the bandolier caught in the rubber seal although still with factory seal on the can. Both cans are shiny, bright, clean, reliable ammo. Better yet, Bud's is selling this close to the pre-Covid/Biden panic, so I was pleased to pick up another can while I can. It not only shoots well, but it's pleasing to shoot milsurp from a nation my dad helped defend in two tours (and twice wounded) in the Korean War. Now, if only my grandson would quit shooting it all up!

Just received my can of ammo. Fast shipping. Date of manufacture is 1986. Nice and clean and well packed. Thanks, Bud's

The product arrived about 2 weeks after ordering and was packaged very nicely. For ~30 cents a round, you can't beat it, especially considering they all came on stripper clips in bandoliers which means more time shooting and less time loading. I shot about 100 rounds at 100 yards and was getting very nice groupings. No hangups or jams and my carbine would be able to shoot hundreds more before needing a cleaning with this ammo. Not only do you get about 50 lbs of the best 30 carbine ammo, but also a neat collectors item!

This is purdy milsurp at the right price! Haven't shot it yet. Saving it for now. It looks like it was just produced yesterday. The can and its contents are in pristine condition. Get it while it's still around!

Product was delivered very quickly, ammo was exactly as promoted, have fired 60 rounds with no problems.
Thanks

Haven't shot it yet but ammo is very nice looking. All shiny brass and looks clean. Happy to see buds offering it at a reasonable price when others have jacked it up or are sold out.

Excellent buy. Shipped quickly and we'll packed. So far, have gone thru 1/2 case and everything has been great. Strippers work just fine and all rounds fired perfectly in my 1943 M1 Carbine, so bought a 2nd case!

I bought an Auto Ordnance .30 M1 Carbine reproduction. They are known for failures to feed. I tried steel case - gun does NOT like that one bit (10 out of 15 F2F's). I tried Remington - only had 2 out of 15 F2F's. Lellier & Bellot - had 5 out of 15 F2F's. And yes - I ordered and installed the high pressure recoil spring (it helped somewhat).
Then I ordered my first can of 1080 Korean from another seller. I was amazed with the quality. First can was from 1985. Only averaged 2 out of 30 F2F's. (better than the Remington). I shoot a LOT at the range. Usually 400 rounds per trip - and I go once a week. I burnt through that can and bought another - this one from 1986. Same results. They ran out of their supply so I bought from Bud's. The can from Buds was from 1980.
The can came very dirty (heavy dust). It obviously hadn't been open since it was sealed in 1980. BUT - two of the bandoleer harnesses were partially on the box seal. The bandoliers closest to that are a much darker green color than the rest. I took everything out and examined the ammo itself and compared it to the 1986 ammo. It looks exactly the same. I also have a AO Thompson .45 semi auto M1 (WWII Version of the Tommy Gun). I buy new ammo for it. The brass on it is - well BRAND NEW. The 30 year old Korean surplus ammo is bright but not brand new 'bright' if you know what I mean.
I would imagine this ammo will shoot just as good as the others that I've bought.
If you have a .30 caliber M1 Carbine - WHY buy any other kind of ammo? It's ALL considerably more expensive and unless you spend premium money on premium ammo, you'll get a crappy F2F rate like I had with steel case and L&B. This ammo is amazing! It's MILSPEC ammo so of course it's good! Just buy this damn ammo! Unless you're like me - it'll last a good long while too!
I would NOT recommen using the clips to load your gun's magazines unless you wear thick gloves. The tracks that hold the rounds to the clip are inconsistent, some will work great, but most wont. I ended up slicing the HECK out of my finger using it. I've found it easier to use my .30 Carbine speed loader - saves my fingers for sure!
ENJOY YOUR AMMO - THANKS BUD'S FOR HAVING THIS! Y'all ROCK! I WILL ORDER AGAIN WHEN IT IS BACK IN STOCK!

WOW!!!!!!!!! I love milsurp ammo and this does NOT disappoint! This stuff is pristine and when the can is opened has that wonderful milsurp smell! You know what I mean. I love that it comes in factory cans with the yellow print on the sides. It's as authentic as it gets. It reminds me of the Malaysian 7.62 NATO that I stocked up on in late 2017. Everything including the can looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. I haven't shot it but instead intend to hold onto this stuff and shoot my other stuff for now. The only negative that caught my eye was it was missing the wire seal on the can that other factory sealed cans have. I'm wondering if, for some reason, the cans were opened prior to shipping. Other than that this is fantastic milsurp for all the milsurp lovers like myself.
