For Ammo prices it’s $0.312 per round for 5.56 $0.54 per round for 7.62x51
It’s okay not the cheapest you can find, especially if one factor freight shipping.
Novelty but not a stealing crazy deal.

Not that great of a deal
On the other hand...I could almost see sending one to my BIL in Nebraska just for the novelty of it. He manages the family farm where we all go shooting

Definitely a talking piece.
Kind of like getting a crate of Mosin’s back in the day... Not many “kids” will have one of those.

I bet if they dropped the price a bit, they could sell a lot of those . . . good price plus novelty factor.
