7.62mm ?

[Kc.338Lp]

Hey Ryan have you ever seen this stuff in Canada ?

This is true military .308 / 7.62x51mm Nato spec. 147gr. FMJ ammo. It is headstamped WCC 06 with the NATO cross. It is bras cased, boxer primed and non-corrosive. It has an annealed case mouth and a crimped primer. It comes in a Winchetser white box that is labeled 7.62. The winchester item number is Q3130. This is winchesters military grade ammo, NOT there commercial ammo. It comes packed in 20rd boxes, 200rds. per case.

Isn't that the stuff Cabela's advertises in their American catalogue?

Not sure , i found it last night while trying to find surplus ammunition .

J&G Sales has it listed if you need more details, but they are a US vendor.

I see their surplus .308 at $0.40 a round.

It would be nice to have up here , no doubt it is on the NRC list of 'no go' for import , you would think if millions of rounds have been sold/fired in the US , without incident , it would be given the green light for import without a battery of 'tests'

Those boxes look familiar. I wonder if they were on the 'good ammo list' within the last ten years.

If this stuff is importable the ' puritans ' that own 308's won't dare run this stuff in their rifles for fear of creating a supernova, thus leaving more for me to buy

389.00 for 1000 rounds .. what a bunch of bull####.

If it is winchester though it should be able to be imported right ?

The ammo pictured is $750 per 1000

DoS wasn't issuing export permits for "military" ammo last I heard.

Great...
The US is givign me a bigger headache than our own clowns in Ottawa.

 

[Kc.338Lp]

389.00 was in reference to the Wooden crate FN surplus .

Is there anyway to see if they will import , like talk to nrcan or can somebody check approved ammo list ?

I don't think the Issue is with getting it IN to CANADA, but getting it OUT of the US.

 

[CanAm]

2 issues 1)export of "military" ammo from the US 2) import of non-approved ammo into Canada.

Probably not much we can do with the US, but who do we lean on in Canada to improve Point #2?

We have done all we can for now. We are stuck with the system that is in place.

I have seen LOTS of 308 Win ammo in 147Gr. hmmmm. Like the PMC stuff, which I really like (also says 7.62 on the box in small letters, the 308 is in big letters). This stuff comes from Korea I think. Would be nice to get some more.

 

[angrysoldier]

im just looking for some 7.62 x 54r ball ammo, cant fid any anywhere!

 

[mhenn1965]

If it has the NATO "cross" on it--(the NATO interchangeability /safety marking), shouldn't it already be "safe" to come to Kanada?

My God, If there was a war and our allies sent us ammo to help us, we'd need NRCAN to go thru the 2 year process first!

 

[Deuce044]

Hey, since the South African stuff isn't going to happen anymore (thanks Wendy!), how about getting some of that Portugese surplus 7.62?

 

[Kc.338Lp]

Wouldnt mind that either , that stuff is also suppose to be pretty good , is that the stuff stamped FHM ?
