Any 14.5x114 laying around?

Just curious if anyone knows of some brass or loaded rounds around, looking to collect some.

pops up once in a blue moon, usually for $100-$150 a round

Ive managed to find some once fired brass, but it definitely seems to be pricey all around.
I have some Ptrs-41 clips I would part with if someone has some original loaded brass

10s, if not hundreds of thousands of rounds sitting in warehouses in Canada but we can't buy it because it's all prohibited for one reason or another. I sometimes wonder how old the stuff Marstar and the like have? Who is buying the stuff if it ever moves at all?

curious what would make it prohib.

The presence of explosive or incendiary materials in the bullet.

that'll do it

I think Arms East buys and sells this sort of thing

Does Marstar have any? wonder if they would pull any of the slugs and sell the primed cases

It is a huge round that's for sure. that's it next to a full sized 338 LM

The presence of explosive and/or incendiary materials in the bullet. There is also the matter of ammunition needing to be cleared for civilian sales by NRcan or whoever it is now. Johnone explained it well in one of his rare moments of not being an angry #######.

I remember him saying he had like 3 million rounds of 50 bmg sitting waiting to get into the country.

Yes they have a lot, to put it lightly. They did at least. I doubt you are the first to ask them to pull the bullet and I don't think they ever have.

I sent them an e-mail and they said they dont have any 14.5.

they are pretty chunky, here is a picture next to a 20mm from a spitfire and a 50bmg

Did you ask if they had any at all, or any for sale to what they would assume is someone who can't legally buy it? They have (had?) 14.5mm machine guns, it would be odd if they had zero ammunition for them. It's hard to figure out since all the prohib stuff is no longer searchable on their site. It used to be fun looking at all the cool stuff they had even though it was off-limits for us common folk.

I kept it simple and asked if they had any, which they replied no.
If i had to guess they have some, but dont want the hassle.

there is some ball ammo in bulgaria, someone should bring a pallet of that in

I have one single fired case from ukraine that i shot out of 14.5mm btr80, as well as a single fired shell of 30mm from a bmp2

Pm OP if interested

We see the odd bit of it. Not in Canada though.

 

[woodchopper]

we have a bunch (~10K rounds) that is going to be disposed of...

unfortunately I cant bring it back to Canada, I so want to.

and I have been trying to scheme a way to bring back some cases... but so far no luck there

Going to need a muzzle brake for that one.
