Feeling lucky? How about a barrel full of 5.56?

What is the weight of a single 5.56 round?

Man, if聽won that, I鈥檇 haul it down to the gun show with a scoop, grocery store scale, and a bunch of plastic baggies. 聽Sell it by weight. 聽Could probably make $20,000. 聽馃槃

After I win this, I'll probably do something similar, except auction off the baggies on Gunbroker instead ...

I see you caught my ploy to turn you steel and wood guys to the polymer dark side.

So much for my jedi mind tricks. 馃槈

Nope, won't work, but after I win this and successfully gouge the hell out of Gunbroker buyers I will be able to buy more old WWI era rifles ...

Quite a bit of tax liability, according to the rules. You'd have to pay Tennessee about $850 in sales tax, and claim the $8500 as income on your federal return. At 20% that's another $1700. So you have to come up with $2500 just to claim the prize. I notice that it says nothing about shipping, either, though I admit I only scanned the rules.聽 So $2500 for 14K rounds is about $0.18 / round. Still a darned good price, even at pre-panic prices.

I wonder how much Brownell's will get for the long e-mail list of gun-owners that they're going to collect. Those e-mail addresses are probably worth a penny a piece to other retailers. And how much spam are you going to get after putting your name on the list?聽

What the hey, I'll enter anyway!

Ok. So I will sell 4000 rounds to the TGO @ $0.30 to buy the AR. 3000 rounds at $0.80 to the general public to make $2400 for taxes聽

now I have a decent AR and 7000 rounds of 5.56 NATO for no out of pocket expense. Plus hopefully some happy TGOers who got some inexpensive ammo.聽
