Yup. I'd take some.
If you price it less than commercial you'll have customers. It is one-time ammo, so any extra money spent to have reloadable cases afterwards are negated.
What pressures are we going to expect? There are WWII German rifles that need ammo, but not if it is going to over-pressure something really valuable like a G-43.
From what I gather. Selling ammo in the US is a piece of cake compared to getting it approved for sale here. I would tend to believe that Marstar has a fair trade in ammunition, but 90% of those dealings are south of the border where he can easily sell it.
Good for him...I just wish we could get our hands on some of that ammo...
As for price... Barely 10 years old and very good quality. $300 would be a steal. $350 would be a great deal. $375 would be agreeable.

I'd take a case, maybe two! I saw a test article on this stuff years ago. 196 gr bullet, approx 2400 fps (if memory serves me well). Very good round to round consistency in velocity. It would be a pity to eat this stuff up in an "area" weapon like an mg 34! Then again, we are reduced to such measures given the supply situation.
JOHNONE: We all know that you've done lots of business with/in the former Yugoslavia. I have seen brassed cased 7.62 x 39 as well as some pretty decent milspec and non milspec 223 now being made in that part of the world. You've probably already looked into this,but given the worsening US supply situation, any chance of bringing any of that 223 in at some point?

ZUPPERMAN:
7.62x39 Brass case, copper over lead bullet, etc, etc, yes this is some of the finest in the world....
YES I will be bringing some to Canada as soon as we have completed our contracts for the US, which will take another few months.
as for the 5.56 (.223) well that is a completely different matter, both of the former government arsenals in the former Yugoslavia are cranking it out 24/7, they have huge contracts with Uncle Sam....
Sorry to say that I don't have any on the radar for some time that could be imported to Canada
I will be meeting with them in a few weeks when I am there supervising loading of a contract, I will discuss it again, but don't stop reloading in the meantime.

Re: 762 x 39....We all appreciate your efforts to secure this supply!
Re: 223/556....With things in Iraq seemingly winding down, perhaps there may be some excess/surplus opportunities.
Hopefully we'll all have an opportunity to take this off your hands!

HAHAHAHA That is some funny #### right there.
How about the 30,000 (for now) going into Afghanistan. And it's not just Iraq, they (The U.S) are arming countless other countries re: Georgia

Ya, OK, I definitely see where you're coming from
and your point is well taken.BUT, as with the Law of Supply and Demand, production will eventually catch up and even exceed demand.....we're still finding ammo from WWII/Korea etc., (where as you may recall there were initial shortages during these wars, but as industry got online we ended up with a lot of leftovers!
).The "surge" and "awakening" movement in Iraq has REALLY improved things. Although things can turn around depending on what the Iranians, Syrians and Al-Queda does; and how the Iraqi government handles things as the Americans transfer responsibility to Iraqi forces.
So, If we (the West) win in Iraq (and Afghanistan), we won't be needing ammo to shoot people anymore, AND it'll be safe enough for them to set up their own ammo factories (as they had prior to the war)....leading to an ammo glut (eventually).
If we lose in Iraq (or Afghanistan), they'll kick us out and won't be buying any ammo from us. (Even if they still use the M-16's/M-4's the US gave them). I'm sure the Russians (who make 223/556) and Iranians (they've also made 223/556)will be most happy to do this for them
If things stay the same (no clear winner) supply will catch up to demand sooner or later. So there is good reason to beleive an ammo glut will occur at some point.
Of course, our problem (in Kanada) has traditionally been one of getting (hostile) government/United Nations approval for import/export to us. Not because there isn't any ammo out there, it's just that our own regulators won't let it in.
Just wondering about 8mm ball ammo. With all the Russian capture rifles coming out of Russia recently from their war stocks, seems to me that they would also stockpile the ammunition for it in some quantity for emergency use. Now I wonder what happened to that ammo assuming that it was stored properly or either manufactured in Russia. Anyone have info on this especially anyone who looked at the surplus Mausers in Russia before buying them.
I would buy two cases of M75.
this is prob a real stupid question , but i'll ask anyway , I seem to have read somewhere that ammo brought in to canada has to go thru the US first , ummmm why is that ? why can't it just come here directly , or is that not true ?
