8 MM Mauser?

[chaslavk]

Where can I find cheap surplus 8mm Mauser for my Yugo M48 Mauser? SIR had it but they are out of it now.

"...cheap surplus 8mm Mauser..." No such thing any more. No military has used 8mm Mauser for eons. You might find Privi Partizan ammo though. Just not cheap. Marstar is listing Winchester 170 grain ammo at $25.50 per 20.
Reloading is your best source of ammo.

the un-used calibers of surplus (8mm,7.62x54R,7.62x25TT,.303 british) (just to name a few) are extremly hard to come by these days as surplus and if you find some the ammo isint dirt cheap anymore....you can sometimes ifnd old surplus at gunshows as well....


i would reccomend buying new factory ammo and saving your brass and then getting into reloading....

I put some up on EE and only had one hit. Must not be much demand for it

Its pretty scarce in Canada no thanks to the government restricting input due to the types of primers used in this surplus.

Once I shoot the rest of my Igman stash, its reloading time.

I am pretty sure MILARM in Edmonton still has 8mm by the case
