Hi people of SFRC!

I know there's some cheap greek 30-06 surplus very popular with Garand user in the US and it's non-corrosive! I know CMP are importing it: http://www.odcmp.com/Sales/ammo.htm

Does it's possible to import some?

Also, you guys are selling good MFS ammo and the price is always right, it will be nice to see 30-06 MFS in your online store, Garand friendly will be nice (well, if you can't get the greek stuff). Do they produce this caliber?

Thx
 
or some of this...

It's quite likely that the Greek Surplus hasn't been submitted to NRCAN for testing. Anything that hasn't been given the green light by the government can't be imported. I was also under the impression that the Greek surplus 30.06 was drying up...

Yes saw it, they're quite expensive and it already cost me about 8$ to shoot just one en bloc clip. I surely use it for hunting use.

But for plinking, a day at the range can cost me 60-80$ just in ammo for my M1 Garand :(

yes commercial ammo is quite expensive...and using the wrong kind could bend your garand's operating rod (unless you buy an adjustable gas plug).

greek HXP surplus 30-06 still works out to be about 50 cents a round in the U.S., and it will not last

i think the only realistic and cost effective option these days for cheap ammo that replicates the m2 ball ammo safe for the garand is to reload...i worked it out to be about 25 cents a round or $2.00 to fill that enbloc. it may be a little more if you have to buy brass, unless you have been saving it, then it would be even cheaper.
 
The CMP is a US-only organization. They resell US government property to qualified US citizens. Their main product line for a long time was been repatriated M1 Garands. Now they sell more parts and supplies. Naturally, rifles need ammo and countries without rifles don't need ammo. Their clientele are Americans, not the rest of the world.

If the CMP will even export 30-06 that is another set of issues. As has been stated, any commercial quantities of ammunition coming into Canada has to be tested and approved by the Canadian government through Natural Resources Canada. No certificate - no import. And, there are US rules about noncitizens possessing ammunition and components. Coming and going, I would not risk a stay in Club Fed trying to import any of that Greek 30-06.
 
Oh for the love of anything I hope some of this stuff ends up in Canada....

It's needed so badly, shooting the M1 costs $10 an en-bloc with most ammo.
 
I'd buy bulk MFS or greek for sure. (I'd prefer MFS, but I'll take what I can get!)

EDIT:.303 brit would also be great, I know a bunch of people sitting on rifles because it's too expensive to shoot.

Yep, we can't import from CMP but we surely import it directly from the source after it pass the Natural Resources Canada certification
 
If i remember reading correctly about that Greek surplus . CMP had found a small stash of new old stock in one of their warehouses while doing an inventory , its stuff they already had , not stuff they were getting from a 3rd party . And im pretty sure there was another stipulation to being able to buy it from them . it was over on arfcom or somethin .

With Korea sitting on all those surplus m1's though , what do you think the chances are they still have ammunition left over from that era ? id hazard 50/50 if their war stocks are anything like the old Soviet bloc .
 
i wouldn't hold my breath for any surplus m2 ball ammo hitting our shores anytime...i had 48rnds of Taiwanese 30-06 a couple of years ago that came with my old Breda M1. i had no idea where the seller got it from but i have never seen any ever since in significant quantities.

yeah, i have a .303 brit and most ammunition is over a dollar a bullet. I would love to go target shooting with it but my bank account would be hurting.
