Anyone know where the 303 is coming from

[silverfoxdj]

So, back on topic for a second, is there actually some sort of 303 surplus coming in or is this thread in the same catagory as unicorns and druid farts? (Or Korean Garands for that matter. Fingers still crossed)

Right on

Looks like the Yanks are no longer paying 9 cents for 8x57mm anymore.

Iranian 1950's FMJ As is, no warranty. 43 cents per round

Never mind that! I'm drooling at the 50BMG rounds for $2.76 a round

I've read that Pakistani 303 surplus is the worst possible of all the 303 manufactured, if I can find that article again ill post it.

 

[antiqueguy]

if its coming from India or Africa or the middle east I would not touch it with a 10ft pole it has a reputation for split cases hang fires over loads and the like

There will come a day, like it or not, when you have to reload.

Or sell your milsurps to someone who does

I guess I should have hung on to all my 303 brass instead of giving it away all these years.

I noticed sfrc has some surplus Enfields coming in. Could this be the beginning of the .303 tidal wave?

Not likely. I quote directly from Chemist's post in his forum: "I had to pay good money for the surplus rifles so don't expect rock bottom pricing on all of them. The Enfields will be pricey. "

Frankly I find the .303 cartridge interesting, but no so the Enfield. Familiarity breeds contempt I suppose; allied weaponry doesn't fascinate me quite as much as the other side's.

So I won't get to pick through a barrel of them, all $20 each?

More sheer ignorance and plain stupidity from the usual suspects regarding ERD. You people don't even know the correct department name let alone what their policies are, but don't let that hold you back so you can piss and moan.

Do you know that ERD has relaxed surplus ammo import regulations from a few years back? No, you're too busy whining to check actual facts.

We have surplus 7.62x25, 39, 54R coming in from Bulgaria, China, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and somehow ERD are "clowns" responsible for the lack of cheap surplus. Get your heads out of your butts. There's no cheap 8mm because it's ALL GONE. Smellie you show me 8mm for $0.09/rd in quantity anywhere in the world and I'll have it approved for import by ERD in three months.

Are you for real pal? ERD = Explosives Regulatory Division. In the federal government, Division is but one part of a DEPARTMENT. ERD is part of which Department? Oh wait… it's NRCan.

But sure, I guess we're all dumb for not naming the Division. Or maybe we should refer to the Directorate to make you happy? Geez.

...never mind.

If you want I'll put them in barrels and charge people $20 to root thru them

A handful of Enfield and a few other interesting bits and pieces. My 1916 Lithgow just arrived so unfortunately I am out.
