Surplus and MFS 30-06?

[Wanhope]

Oh for the love of anything I hope some of this stuff ends up in Canada....

It's needed so badly, shooting the M1 costs $10 an en-bloc with most ammo.

I'd buy bulk MFS or greek for sure. (I'd prefer MFS, but I'll take what I can get!)

EDIT:.303 brit would also be great, I know a bunch of people sitting on rifles because it's too expensive to shoot.

The CMP is a US-only organization. They resell US government property to qualified US citizens. Their main product line for a long time was been repatriated M1 Garands. Now they sell more parts and supplies. Naturally, rifles need ammo and countries without rifles don't need ammo. Their clientele are Americans, not the rest of the world.

If the CMP will even export 30-06 that is another set of issues. As has been stated, any commercial quantities of ammunition coming into Canada has to be tested and approved by the Canadian government through Natural Resources Canada. No certificate - no import. And, there are US rules about noncitizens possessing ammunition and components. Coming and going, I would not risk a stay in Club Fed trying to import any of that Greek 30-06.

Yep, we can't import from CMP but we surely import it directly from the source after it pass the Natural Resources Canada certification

If i remember reading correctly about that Greek surplus . CMP had found a small stash of new old stock in one of their warehouses while doing an inventory , its stuff they already had , not stuff they were getting from a 3rd party . And im pretty sure there was another stipulation to being able to buy it from them . it was over on arfcom or somethin .

With Korea sitting on all those surplus m1's though , what do you think the chances are they still have ammunition left over from that era ? id hazard 50/50 if their war stocks are anything like the old Soviet bloc .

i wouldn't hold my breath for any surplus m2 ball ammo hitting our shores anytime...i had 48rnds of Taiwanese 30-06 a couple of years ago that came with my old Breda M1. i had no idea where the seller got it from but i have never seen any ever since in significant quantities.

yeah, i have a .303 brit and most ammunition is over a dollar a bullet. I would love to go target shooting with it but my bank account would be hurting.

Exactly, whenever I shoot my M1 all I can hear is Cha-ching! Cha-ching!

Chemist, did you noted that?

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a sizable quantity of Greek ball and several cases of LC ball a number of years ago. I have been rationing it every since. The Greek ball is very good.
