Interesting, mine was the same headstamp but 60 instead of 539. Also my label said made at some state factory in Kurgistan. I'll check for exact details when I get home.

:eek::eek::eek: And they say there's no mark up in ammo! :eek::eek:
You can bet they probably got a quantity discount off the $192 crate price too! I suppose you can't blame them for making a profit but this seems a little excessive. Don't get me wrong, I've been in & out of their stores since I was a kid in the 60's & do like them but damn! They want $40/lb for varget too (same as Bass Pro) ....... LeBaron is $26. I guess that's what happens when you're the only store in town!

Well can you imagine how much more savings we would have had if Centurty International didn't had to open all the sardine cans and lable all packages with stupid warnings? I would imagine that took some time and pay someone to do this job. We probably would have less than 10 cents a shot. I guess its their way to make us pay more.
 
Damn in. I received a call from LeBaron's on Monday as well indicating their stock has arrived. I have not had time to pass by. I hope they still have a case or two left.

Btw, anyone know how this shoots compared to the Czech surplus?

I hear what you're saying & I totally agree but I'm pretty sure opening the spam cans and putting all the silly labels on wasn't their idea. Would have been forced on them by big brother!
Me personally....... I would have REALLY preferred to have it still in spam cans suitable for simple easy no brainer long term storage. What a shame! But hey ... the ammo's MUCH safer now :rolleyes::rolleyes: so I suppose it's worth it!:rolleyes:

On a similar note .............. kind of makes you wonder how Marstar can sell the Polish surplus 7.62 x 39 ammo still in the spam cans and avoid this useless individual labeling?? Maybe they got it into the country prior to some regulation passing. I know I have Czech crates that were in the solder sealed tins and then they started showing up without tins and the stupid plastic bags heat sealed on each stripper clips ........... not impressed! Seems like big brother just sitting back dreaming up ways to make life more difficult for the average honest sport shooter ( importers too!). We really do need to shake up this anti-gun establishment!
 
I transferred the ammo to the large ammo cans - the size one up from the 50 cal can. The large ammo can holds all 1300 rounds with a little room left for 6 more small paks.

Good for long term storage.

Thanks, I'm familiar with these, I have several, but I don't think they're large enough??? I think Ganderite is talking about the next size up! I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong. :D
I suspect he's referring to these 40mm cans..........

It's a shame it's not in the spam cans which would make looooong term storage a no brainer! Oh well, just have to use it up or go with ammo cans :D

When you say "Ammo can" are you just referring to a .50 cal box? Fill it up then close it and it is good for "loooooong" term storage? Or what could be done with this current batch of ammo to store it for a long period?

Yes the standard mil surp 50 cal was what I was referring to. I have many but I'd like to find something slightly larger like what Ganderite mentioned that would hold the full crate worth in the one container. Seems like 40mm is the ticket but I don't recall seeing them here in Canada. Probably just haven't looked in the right place. I'll have to wander into Princess Auto in Newmarket and see what they have.
 
Ammo's in ''Ottawa'' store

I called lebaron's ottawa store just before lunch today,the girl on the phone said it had just arrived. Said I would pick it up on friday.:)

I was just at the store in Mississauga a few hours ago.
They got 100 crates in on monday and put aside all the pre paid cases... There were still about 7 or 8 cases on the floor when I checked out at 5:30 pm tonight.
Dont know how many they may have out back?... 1-905-273-6434 is their number.
