Ammo source for 14.5mm PTRD?
- Thread starter Threemorewishes

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but i have a question.
I have an old friend currently living in Russia, who has access to large quanities of 14.5 AP ammo. He would be willing to take the bullets out, and mail me the empty primed cases.
How difficult would this be from legal prespective? Thanks

AP is not prohibited iirc. Just the incendiary and high explosive stuff.
Same process. In short, you can't.
ZZ, check out this site for Russian/USSR ammo.

IMPORTING AMMUNITION
16. Certain types of ammunition are considered prohibited ammunition by an Order in Council under the Criminal Code (see Former Prohibited Weapons Order No. 10 in Appendix G).
17. Section 148 of the Explosives Regulations made under the Explosives Act allows the following quantities of the specified explosives to be imported-if for private use and not for sale-without an Explosives Importation Permit issued by Natural Resources Canada. However, commercial importations of ammunition that are not prohibited by an Order in Council require an Explosives Importation Permit as well as a business licence. For more information on Explosives Importation Permit requirements, see Memorandum D19-6-1, Explosives Act and Regulations.
