Any Ammo Collectors? Sealed 30 Carbine

[Shorthunter]

I came across these boxes today, wondering if anyone can tell me what they are worth. I know they are collectible in this condition (sealed), just don't know what I should ask for them.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Any chance you have any mags floating around? I have the rifle but no magazine.

Auto Ordnance and KCI make steel 30 rounders, they've got a fairly decent reputation for mag quality with the different ones they make. Gunbroker is probably your best bet for sourcing something particular and original.

I've got 2 mags here as well. Believe one is a 10 round and one is a 20 or 30

Were they purchased from the CMP recently?
I have no idea the collector value of military surplus ammo.
As recently as a few years ago i bought surplus 30 carbine ammo from the CMP, but it seems to have dried up these days. I paid just less than 50 cents a round in 2023.
Again, not sure the collectible value, but should be no less than 50 cents a round if in good shape and of good manufacture.

Looks like they had some Lake city for $44.95 before supplies dried up. Lots of South Korean stuff before the import ban.

If you need mags there are plenty of GI mags out there.

No, brought into my store by an older gentleman to sell.

Yeah, no real idea. Looks like a box of 30 carbine from Ohio and 2 clips of foreign Garand ammo. I dont expect the value to be much more than $30 each box.
But who knows, some folks might desire them more.
Prior to the Obama era that stuff was fairly common.

I still have a case of Frontier 30 carbine 110 sp , and tons of bandoliers. My Dad loved that cartridge. I have the paper work from CMP for the Inland he bought. $17 and change. I don't think we will ever see those prices again.
