- Is the ammo for the .30 Carbine THAT easy to find? If I recall correctly,
- I've seen the M1 Carbine advertised in SGN for @ $140 but could never find
- any ammo advertised, so I figured that was why the price for the rifle was
- so low. Where can I find ammo? For the price, would the M1 Carbine be a
- better buy than the SKS at @$100 or the AK at @$200 ?
