My local Canadian Tire sells Imperial Ammo

[blasted_saber]

So I was perusing the local CT today and checking out what was new in the guns and ammo department. Lo and behold, a pile of Imperial shotshells. ROFL. I snapped a pic and the clerk kind of looked at me funny and I commented how that ammo was older then me. He laughed and commented how they we're having a hard time keeping the shelves stocked and this is what they had right now to sell. Somebody must of been really digging through the warehouses to dig this stuff up. Also makes me wonder what else might be buried deep in the depths......

Piece of Canadian history. If I didnt already have boxes of it, I'd of bought some for sure.

old junk at new prices they must use the EE for a pricing guide line

Wow, brings back memories.

Well if that is steel shot it's not old ?
Also 20 rnd per box not 25 ?
Did some company buy the Imperial trademark name ?
Don't see IVI on the box

Well, its been quite some time since Imperial manufactured ammo, at least for civilian use. As far as I know, anyways

That's why I'm thinking the Imperial name has been bought by some company & they are branding it as Imperial .
I could be wrong

That is new production ammo. Maker unknown to me. No way Imperial ever loaded #7 steel shot. It has only become available in target loads over the last year or two. I want some. I will check my local CTC.

That's what I thought .
Didn't CT have their own brand of shotgun shells made for them ?
Maybe they bought the Imperial trade mark . Can't get more Canadian than that
Now if only they would start making 22 rimfire

It's NOS (new old stock).

We registered the trademark a few years ago, but dropped it to focus on Dominion. Libec (challenger) registered it last year. It looks like they are now packaging under the name.

Shouldn't the boxes be green? lol

 

[kamlooky]

Shouldn't the boxes have a 25 count?
This 20 round the new metric equivalent?
