is it weird that I separated all of the ammo by year and loaded the enblocs that way? BTW, the 30 cal can that the ammo came in will hold 280 rounds (7 layers of enblocs, five enblocs per layer.) Should I start using it oldest first? Newest first? Any years that might be valuable?
I assume that you bought the CMP 200 round cans filled with HXP ball ammo? If not this won't apply, but that's some pretty good stuff, definitely full power. My shooting buddies always say they prefer the early 70's vintage, but I've never noticed a difference. Sorting by year? I'd worry about you if you didn't
I hope you get the safety to work. I purchased a Springfield 1903 rifle from the North Store several years ago when they still had them, and lo and behold the safety wouldn't engage when I got home. Never checked it when I was there. Took it to the CMP trailer at Camp Perry later that summer and the armorer {a real nice older gentleman) kept switching out bolts until he found one that worked. It also improved the trigger about 500% so I was really happy! Nice bunch of people.
