Supplier Under Scrutiny on Arms for Afghans - NYTimes.com 28/03/08 With Update 05/04

To quote the article:

"Albania sold ammunition to Evdin for $22 per 1,000 rounds"

Sounds like a pretty good price for any kind of center fire ammo - hell, it would be a deal on .22 rimfire!
 
303 ammo marked 1942 still gives off a healthy bang.

Cardboard boxes from Albania breaks open on the floor in Afghanistan?they sure don't make cardboard like they used to!

Chinese ammo?Your problem is?I thought China and the US were on most favoured nation status?

A NATO program that ended last year involved 16 Western nations contributing about $10 million to destroy 8,700 tons of obsolete ammunition. The United States contributed $500,000. Among the items destroyed were 104 million 7.62 millimeter cartridges — exactly the ammunition AEY sought from the Albanian state arms export agency

damm I would have gotten rid of that for free.......

A large part of that was ammo that was damaged, dumped, spilled, trod on, or taken and returned, during the 97 "trouble".
