Tired of Value Paks, Brownells Rolls Out The Barrels
GRINNELL, Iowa (December 13, 2018) – Just in time for Christmas, Brownells is offering up the perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for someone who has everything – Bulk Barrels of Ammo in 5.56 and 7.62X51.
Filled to the brim with either 12,500 rounds of XM855 5.56mm NATO, or 7,500 rounds of XM80 7.62X51 NATO ammunition, the metal Bulk Barrels are painted an attractive, eye-catching shade of yellow and sport a patriotic image of a majestic American bald eagle soaring on outstretched wings, its talons fully extended.
Too enormous to serve as stocking stuffers, the barrels make ideal pickup-truck bed stuffers, and allow customers to give the gift of Freedom in bulk to friends and loved ones.
Perfect for use in AR-15-style firearms – often referred to as “America’s Rifle” – the 12,500- round barrel of 5.56 can fill 416 standard-capacity, 30-round magazines all the way up to the very tip top, with 20 rounds still left over.
For shooters who enjoy 30-caliber-power, the 7,500-round barrel of XM80 7.62X51 can jam- pack 375 standard-capacity 20-round magazines for full-size battle rifles like the M14, G3 or FAL – also known as the “Right Arm of the Free World.
#100-010-469. Bulk Barrel 5.56 NATO XM855, 12,500 rounds. $3,900 on sale
#100-032-801. Bulk Barrel 7.62X51 NATO XM80, 7,500 rounds. $4,050 on sale
Manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant to exacting standards, both calibers of ammo have non-corrosive primers and are topped with full metal jacket projectiles. The boxer- primed cases are easily reloadable, allowing multiple reuse for maximum liberty and sustainable recycling of naturally-occurring Earth metals.

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.
