Currently, Wolf does not have a proper importer to get their stuff in here.

And if they did, there would still be the problem that Berdan primed ammo cannot currently be imported into Canada. If someone wants to start a letter writing campaign, I'd help.

Oh yeah? Then how did all that Czech 7.62x39 come in?

You tell me. But there has been a new importation standard put in place at some point.

Ammo has to be inspected before it can be imported. Canada customs is refusing to inspect berdan primed ammo because it has too much mercury apparently.

Mercury...

Another hoax put together by ignorant people with hidden agendas.
Mercury fulminate in primers was replaced long ago by chlorate-laden ones.
PP.

I thought chlorate was the reason it's corrosive (therefore no/not much mercury). I don't think they even use Mercury Fulminate in detonators any more.

They may have replaced them with "chlorate-laden ones" but that doesn't mean the old milsurp ammo in Europe doesn't still have mercury in it.

That's the ammo I want. Cheap ammo.
