Dawsonville Gun ripping off customers - removing stickers from factory seconds lots
- Thread starter johnpauljones
- Start date
We sell some of that stuff at our store. It is still fairly expensive. Not cheap surplus ammo. When we get it there are SOME stickers on a few boxes. They are poorly attached and do not survive shipment well. Lots of them do no stay attached.
I asked my manager about this ammo and he told me that it is made to a high level of quality. Some of the ammo that has (I don't remember exactly) like two cosmetic blemishes per 1000, or a few don't chrono with in a tight tolorence. Then they are marked as seconds, but still higher quality than most. Stuff is still more expensive then I can afford so I have never tried it.
Sounds like an over reaction to something a quick question could have fixed.

Is it factory second? Was is being passed off as premium ammo or simply on the shelf with a slightly lower price?
I read somewhere that all XM855 marked 5.56 is basically overruns/seconds. Otherwise it would me marked M without the X in front. so if you find a can marked M855 that should be actual .mil qual ammo. Of course the LCXXXXX matters to but different degree. Where did the accuser go since posting BTW?
XM556FBIT3/XM556TNB1 may actually be loaded lower pressure as well

If that were true, Angie's List, Fodor's, and a dozen other review services would be out of business.
Agreed!!!!!!
