I believe we have 9 cases coming in. The Czech stuff is still a no-go.

What exactly does the Federal Govt have to do to approve the corrosive milsurp? Like is it carcinogenic or bad for the environment kind of idea? And how much would it be?

Small arms ammo testing and approval is a sham. Don't get me started. Our system is set up for high explosives, and applied to ammo. It amounts to a way to stop cheap ammo from coming into Canada. Ostensibly it is set up to ensure safety, but in reallity you cannot really test for that because most safety issues are with bad lots of approved ammo.

The current draft of the new rules includes the following:

- No tracer
- No corrosive or mercuric primers
- Each cartridge must be marked with calibre and makers mark.

These are just back door ways to stop surplus ammo.

email me if you want a copy.
