Rushed to buy it so no pics in store, but local pawn shop had this raw loaded mag on a shelf next to the floor rack of unsecured ARs

Loaded mags next to ars out in the open, you must live in a very small town with no crime, that or the owner is an absolute dumbass

We have a low population, but a lot of tourists come through. If you don't count the crackheads worst that's happened was a dude throwing his severed penis mid police chase back in 2021 but that was a neighboring city 30 minutes away.

VladStark@reddit

LMAO.... I like how the news story blasts his full name and then states, we can't confirm what happened to his penis because of HIPAA privacy laws. But we can confirm that he did cut it off and throw it out of his car!

That dude will never live this down. Whatever drugs he was on this is a good advertisement not to do them.

I actually want to hear that radio dispatch call. "Yes, we are in pursui... WTF??? He just threw something at us. 'Dave, that looked like a blood dick. I think he just yoinked his dick off and threw it at us'." "dispatch to car 54. should we send EMS your way?". "Dispatch, car 54. Yea, EMS because a Social worker ain't gonna accomplish shit here."

They’re reloads

[-]

Aggravating_Ad_7472@reddit (OP)

Forgot this with the post, but even though the rounds appear to be new, they look like someone was cycling them through their rifle. Half of them have indents and some are marked with a black marker.

OldCarry4838@reddit

Black marker usually means "don't shoot this!"

Aggravating_Ad_7472@reddit (OP)

None of the bullets have damage or are pushed in, so it should be safe, but I'll make sure to add it to my loose target ammo so it doesn't end up in something expensive.

The pawn shop had loaded magazines sitting next to unsecured AR15s?

[-]

Aggravating_Ad_7472@reddit (OP)

I shit you not, yes. Not even in a bag or anything, just sitting out in the open on a shelf. I saw it when I entered, and I love these Grey mags but thought it was a little pricey until I picked it up and it had some weight.

[-]

-SunsOutGunsOut-@reddit

That is fucking wild lol

[-]

KrustyTheKriminal@reddit

Surprisingly, not extremely uncommon in some smaller local gun stores.

There is quite a bit loose ammo at a gun store near me.

[-]

Spinzzz@reddit

But is it loaded in mags, next to the guns that accept same mags, both unsecured?

[-]

KrustyTheKriminal@reddit

Sometimes, all depends. One near me had a loaded mag recently along with some other loose ammo like an open ammo can sitting on the other side of the counter. At least this mag has a price tag on it, I assume the other one was for sale, but I never asked about it.

[-]

RickySlayer9@reddit

Loose ammo as in, boxed on the shelf? I feel that’s pretty common

[-]

KrustyTheKriminal@reddit

Nope, also just straight up open, like they had half a box and decided to sell the rest of it. Open ammo can of loose ammo, sometimes a loaded mag.

[-]

[-]

Double_Minimum@reddit

The gun show I went to a guy had a box of loaded MPX mags, which is kind of wild cause there would certainly be mpx for sale. But you could buy any mag and load it there anyway I suppose.

Also, I am an idiot, cause even if I don’t trust the ammo in them, it was a $30 OG Sig mag, and I should have bought 4 more.

squareroot4percenter@reddit

If it’s an Okay mag, $20 for the magazine alone isn’t unusual these days. Consider the ammo a bonus.

$20 for a recent production Center Industries colt mag and 30 rounds of unknown (but probably Winchester) 5.56 that have been previously cycled is more like okay with a lowercase o.

[-]

Aggravating_Ad_7472@reddit (OP)

From my understanding, Lake City is military grade munitions made by winchester, so does that mean it's ass? I've never bought any from them.

[-]

Styrak@reddit

The brass cases are LC. Anything else on those cartridges is a guess at best.

[-]

squareroot4percenter@reddit

It could be Winchester LC M193. People will give Winchester shit but I’ve found that their Lake City 5.56 seems to have been pretty solidly made. Superficially the primers, crimping, perhaps even the cannelure placement on the projectiles have been more consistent than the Magtech and Federal 55 gr FMJ I’ve seen recently.

It could also be a different manufacturer that’s simply loading their bullets in Lake City brass. Black Hills used to do this though I don’t think they do anymore. Some companies will reload bullets in used casings; this generally warrants caution and scrutiny.

[-]

BBQSauce61@reddit

Winchester is currently running the Army Lake City plant. Under Federal, it was great stuff for what it was, and the gold standard for bulk ammo. Winchester ammo has always been kind of meh at best, and it seems like Lake City produced ammo quality has slipped since W took over. Could be covid qc affecting everything still, the current stress on ammo production due to the fighting in Israel and Ukraine, and/or whatever cost saving measures W implemented in order to get the contract from Federal in the 1st place.

At least being 2025 dated, its less likely to be reloads. Though I don't know if its worth the risk...

[-]

A_Queer_Owl@reddit

military grade ain't the cleanest or nicest ammo, but it should be quite reliable. army don't give a shit if it looks nice or runs clean, but they do demand reliability. cause a lot of lives might depend on that bullet.

Aggravating_Ad_7472@reddit (OP)

Pretty sure it's Lake City, says lc on the headstamp and a circle with a cross is their symbol for 5.56. I've never bought any ammo from them, so I don't know much about them besides the headstamp info.

I buy most of my ammo online and never bought any at the pawn shops around here unless they had something rare because most of the boxed ammo has been used like some form of currency passed through generation being held together by tape and looking like it was stored in somebody's asshole.
