Have about a half dozen South African 140 round battle packs. Current price range? It was not a Navy insert rifle, it was done on the commercial market in a Standard Garand. Those rounds are probably .70 each these days... I certainly thought $0.70 per round was reasonable. Did a web search for SA battle packs. Priced at $1.00 per round, however all ads were out of stock. Found 3 private sale ads on Gun Broker. More like $0.70 but auctions had days left. One ad had a $110 buy it now price with no bids at $100. Will watch as I am looking to trade for some 30-06 milsurp, or cash.

My number of .70 each was a local price, Auctions are a wildcard. Like you noted, asking and selling price are 2 different things.

Republic of the Philippines Army troops preparing Garands captured from Muslim guerillas for propaganda. Tongkil is a small island in the Sulu Islands region of Mindanao.

Two Garands and a M14 captured from Muslim guerillas in Mindanao. Note the Abu Sayyaf sticker on the stock of the middle rifle. Said Garand appears to have a damaged trigger group.

Built by Richard McCann (deceased) of McCann Industries, Spanaway. Cogent display of the strength of the Garand forged receiver.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnU3dbhc5BgBrief clip loading tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnwTSR4NdBUMechanical clip loading tool. At $300 plus this is not particularly cost effective unless you are a reseller or fire team armorer.
