CGG-1943,
 It took me awhile to locate, but this is the exact notice I received via email from CMP concerning recent surplus ammo sales.  I can't speak for how others on this forum were notified.  I placed my order immediately after receiving this announcement.

I don't believe CMP sends out email when stock goes in or out of e-store. You just have to be diligent on checking or usually someone on the CMP forum gives a heads up in the Ammunition sub-forum. It doesn't look like they are allowing backorders via mail, some said they were notified it was out of stock but then it later showed up back in stock on e-store.

Yes, I received notification via regular informational e-mail from CMP. As i recall they sent out a heads-up that they had received the types of surplus ammo and after they had a chance to process it, they would make it available online for sale.  As soon as I received notification when it was ready, I ordered.

jim77cg, is there a way to get a specific notification when surplus .30 carbine becomes available from the CMP, or did you just sign up for the general product update email under your account on the CMP eStore?

Was this limited to two per buyer, or two per order?

I could probably get the old man to order me some more, if it becomes available again, but would be easier to order it myself.

That said, I already ordered two.

2 per customer/year.  I haven't seen any listed lately.

My order was placed April 27 along with a cleaning rod on the 28th.  The orders had to be seperate.
The cleaning rod hit my CC first by a day or two.
Going to the e-store account, the ammo invoice shows a date of May 19. 
It never was given a Fedex tracking number there.
However I attempted to sign up for Fedex's delivery notification.  Kindof half worked.  Got an automated phone call with the delivery date and tracking number.  The driver actually called a couple minutes before arriving. I called him back and met him at the door.  Pretty easy but did mean sticking around to recieve it.

Thanks for info.  I was wondering on the processing/shipping time.  I ordered May 6 and have not heard or received anything.  So, it's taking them 3-4 weeks to get it shipped out.  Not a big deal, but at least we all know what to expect.

Here you go Matt, an old quote from Bill Ricca
"The safety pins are on all bandoleers. The pin is used to adjust the long loop so the bandoleer fits each individual, large and small. Some used the pin to make the loop a specific size, others also used the pin to attach the bandoleer to their clothing."

Head stamp on what I received is also L C 72. Purple sealer. Slightly magnetic bimetal jacket.
The bandoliers are marked
CAL 30 CARBINE
BALL        M1
10 RD CLIPS
LC-50-226

The clips are the earlier pattern, with one spoon clipped to the cardboard 'box' in the first pocket.
One black finished safety pin on each bandolier.  What's that for?  Securing to clothing or ??
clip stamped
EL 8448480

Checked some boxed LC 50 I bought last year.  Son of a gun! They have the bimetal jackets. 

Correction: Those boxes have LC 71 with red sealer and LC-50-206 must simply be the lot number.

Got a response from "info@thecmp.org" and was able to place an order.

FWIW: It took 15 days for my CLUB info to be updated via email to custserve@. Even though my club memberships have not lapsed in 15 years, and I authorized the release to CMP, I have needed to email for an update every year I ordered something. Maybe not in years I mail ordered a rifle.
Received 4 bandos of LC72 today, bright and shiny. Smells good like surplus should :)

I sent them an initial email yesterday with no response as of yet.  I sent to same address, custserve@thecmp.org, as listed on their site.  Guess maybe they are just overwhelmed?

Hi, Everyone is having problems with the Club affiliation, or seems to be. I sent them an Email with my credentials and they fixed it in 2 hours. I think it's a E store glitch , Maybe, (?) I'm a member of the GCA, Carbine Club and my local club is affiliated. I use GCA as it's the easiest for me, good Luck, Mike

Still hit or miss for my affiliation thru Carbine Collectors Club. Last year they used it but when I asked this year they defaulted to my FOP membership.   They may just be inundated with request, but looking back at my request I got email replies the same or next day. 

Matt X has a point..."Probably worth a follow up."
