New Arrivals: Military Surplus 7.62x39 Ammunition

bah no Yukon shipping, us yukoners always get the shaft :( great price compared to most. How much would the shipping be to whitehorse for a couple crates?

Random curiosity...how long do you suppose 5000 rnds will last you? I don't think I'd have to time to fire that much ammo in a year, even. :/

You're not trying hard enough.

If I could afford 5 000 or 10 000 or even 100 000, I'd just pack it into ammo cans that I already have.

Ammo doesn't go bad and the price never seems to go down.
 
This Russian ammo comes in wood crates which have been opened by some M@#$% F%$@, no doubt, the 20 round cheap cardboard boxes pulled out or the spam cans and a bilingual (English/French) warning label stuck to each 20 round cheap-cardboard box. No stripper clips.

I don't know if Tradex's got the exact same ammo but I got my 2 crates from LeBaron and one has copper washed steel cases while the other has heavy lacquered cases. In my case the 20 round boxes were put back in the wooden crates, no more spam cans, and the crates re-nailed shut with original ammo count inside (I even got an original over-sized can opener in one of the crates).

I haven't had time to chrono it, but it felt a bit weaker than my CZ stuff. However, the heavy lacquered ammo shot a little better than the CZ ammo out of my CZ-858, which was a very pleasant surprise because I thought my 858 shot quite well already with the CZ ammo. The copper washed ammo shot about the same groups as the CZ surplus. I can't wait to chrono it, I hope my first impressions were wrong and that they all shoot to about the same velocities.

Cleanliness seemed to be the same as the CZ ammo, only the smell when shooting being very slightly different. I still had to clean my rifle with hot soapy water. Good ammo at a decent price and from Tradex it even includes the shipping!

I don't know if Canadians can even get spam cans. Someone was telling me that legally the dealers or importers have to take it out and attach the warning labels and stuff. Don't know if thats true

That depends on whether they intend to sell if by the box or by the can.

Well, I have bought 3 cases of CZ surplus and all three came in sealed cans inside a fairly well made wood crate. The cans are even quite hard to open, I had to resort to a screwcriver to pull off the sealing tin. I think Stevo's take on it might be the right one.
