My understanding is that most of the surplus military ammunition on the
market, if not all of it, comes either directly from manufacturers (contract
overruns) or from foreign sources. Some years ago I saw some .30-06 on the
surplus market in Garand clips in WWII vintage packaging; I've never seen
any .223, .7.62 or .45 that looked like it came from US stocks.

To the best of my knowledge the only place that current US surplus ammunition
inventory is distributed is through the Division of Civilian Markmanship
(DCM).
