cancer said:I wouldn't hold your breath for any to come soon, or in any significant quantities. Word on the street is that the contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan are buying up all the surplus military cartridges they can find. Apparently their companies can front more cash and need more ammo than all of Canada combined.
Perhaps when there's peace in the middle east, then we'll have lots of 7.62 and 5.56 surplus again.
Not sure where your getting your int on this. Most agencies that use western firearms....get ammo from them....ie state department contracted security companies equipped with M4s use US ammo. If anything the demand is 7.62 x 39 not NATO caliber. Since that ammo is like water in the third world, it will have little impact here. One of the major issues is that SA signed onto the UN arms bill and will not be surplusing ammo anymore...
