You lads would be much better getting into reloading than hanging your hopes on old milsurp ammo that might not even exist.

OR... option number 3, MFS seems to show up with newly manufactured ammo at half price of commercial loads.


If the cards are played right, someone can retire from a container of Garand rifles and a boat load of ammo

The Norinco 7.62x51 isn't all that bad. I bought a $400 Ruger American and put a $300 Bushnell scope on it and at 502 yds. shooting off the roof of my little car and once I got my range I was able to put 5 out of 12 shots in the 12 in. circle and the rest a little left , right and high. And yes I do reload but the norinco stuff in all calibers goes bang every time!!!!

At the very least there is the satisfaction in crafting an accurate load for your fine classic rifle, as opposed to blasting away with random minute-of-man stuff.

Slightly reduced reloads will also be far kinder on the hardware than what would probably end up being old machine gun ammo anyway.

very good point Mark II
The 80 million rounds of suplus that went on the market all went to the US CMP program.
Fed make an M1 reduced load 30-06
Maybe some one can contact PMC in korea and get a few million rounds of 3006 made.

There are Garands in both. Apparently some of the Koreans are in 30.06 and some are 7.62 NATO.

Out of 30 or 40 Garands that I've handled, I've only seen one chambered for 7.62 Nato. Perhaps my assumption, but the 7.62 N seemed to be an oddball and much fewer made. I don't know anyone personally who has one.

IIRC, there is an insert that was put into .30-06 chambers to convert to .308/7.62x51mm. Didnt the US Navy do this years ago?
 
Bring them all in, if you can afford it Sergey.

100-250 for parts guns or poor quality rifles
250-500 for good condition shooters
500-1000 for collectors piece of varying excellent qualities/manufacturers
 
Personally I wouldn't touch a .308 rifle if it used a chamber liner, just for the convenience of shooting .308. That's what the norc is for.

If it was a purpose made .308 barrel, then I guess I would need one of each. Package deal? Lol

I am not taking pre orders at the moment. Rough time is unknown at the moment. To get import permit into Canada is 1 week. Shipping time 30 days. How long it takes on another side ????????? Let's start with 3 month mark to be safe. I made a contact and requested small amount to start.

Being as we are talking 10's of thousands of rifles!! What do you consider " small amount" ?? ;0)
 
Wow so many ideas for weekend talk.
1. M1 Garands are coming to Canada one way or another. Who will bring them and how much those will be sold for it depends on Importer. There is 4 importers that submitted a bid for those rifles as far as I know.
2. When and how fast those be here and in what quantities depends on the person who wins this bid. It is 190 000 rifles that I know of available right now. In total there is 800 000 rifles that stored in surplus warehouses.
3. Would I or any other dealer bring 190 000 rifles? I don't think so :) It is suicidal to do so. I think 5000 to 10 000 pcs at the time is acceptable. We are not USA we can not handle 190 000.
4. Ammunition in Surplus is hardly available and even if you find some it takes around 2 years to get it approved with Natural resources Canada.

I will answer any other questions as long as it is not confidential information.
 
Thankyou Sergey, and wow,I think I am on the either parts gun for cheap or brand new still in the wrapper/crate and would pay quite well for the latter! I hope you are in the mix of bid winners!
