WWII M2 ball - What's it worth?

StoneyCreekMrMauser · March 22, 2011, 07:38

Guy at a flea market has several boxes of 42-43 prod M2 ball, EW headstamp (I think). Stuff was in orig boxes and looked pretty clean (one boxfull in a baggy). Dude was askin' $18/box. Prolly not worth it but figured I'd ask in case I stumbled on something worth buying from this guy (he gives the gun show morons a run for their money).

TIA.

Not really lookin to sell, just for some Garand fodder. Got a pair of them and they are hungry (although one is in pieces until I can get it fixed).

$18/box is too high for blasting IMO, and it is also corrosive too .
