Ammo collections

[desporterizer]

Do you guys collect a little ammo to go with your milsurps? Every gunshow or store I go to I am always on the lookout for odd ball stuff. How may can you identify in this pic?

I collect artillery shells as well as a few small arms once you start it's hard to stop .

Only stuff I can use.
At the Calgary show on Friday I snagged two boxes of factory .30 Remington 170Gr - pretty tough to find these days.
Also found some .35 on factory clips for my new (to me) FN 1900 autoloader - clips are not too common for these rifles.
Also managed to pick up a couple boxes of 9mm HP for a reasonable price.

[desporterizer]

Thats the kind of set up I want to get going as soon as I get my basement finished. Home made display cabinet?

 

[Klunk]

NICE DISPLAY, Beater!!!

 

[Nyles]

Thanks alot, Beater, now I want to start an ammo collection.

 

[Beater]

yes home made. glass slides out from the end, after you unscrew the wood. works allright,but i need to build 3-4 more of them. i try to stay under 40mm, and only millitary, but there is some big stuff around hear aswell.

 

[Unsub]

That is beautiful Beater! I noticed they are all labelled as well which is a nice touch.
