West Coast 7.62 x 39

Are you sure it was for new manufacture only, and not surpluss stuff?

As I'm pretty sure Military Surpluss is in a diffrent catagory in Germany.

Yes, the surplus had to be marked. It never is from the factory with mil ammo.

But it is marked...

And this is a known standard in that industry in Germany...Everyone has a reference chart for it, and further info on the cases themselves tells the rest.

My point is there has to be some sort of provision for the tons of Military surplus out there that is still for sale and export from the German market.

I wish I had more time to look into this further to help out.

When I spoke with a German importer, I was told they had to be marked with calibre. He was marking 8mm with a pad printer on the side of the case. The markings above only show year and maker.

But aren't the crates already marked by the manufacture?
Oops sorry wrong pic..I meant to post this one.

 

[CanAm]

Cartridge case, not the packing crate.

speaking of tracer rounds, where can you shoots them in GVRD? i don't think you'll have a chance with poco, let alone dusk/night time when tracers are the most fun to shoot with.

They are expecting some tracer rounds soon save ur money when it arrives buy a crap load. two or three weeks last heard.

Major...
U can use them @ mission or poco on tuseday & wensday night only. But if you ask me mission range is way better for this cuz they have a 300m rifle range and it gives you a chance after you shoot it too see it.

 

[CanAm]

Except mision only allows one rd. A real pain in a semi.

 

[the judge]

Mission sucks ass, period. They are by no means 'tactical' or semi-auto friendly. After 15 plus years there as a member, I got tired of the 'regulators' coming aroud and told them to pound sand and moved on. I moved a few memberships with me.

Tracers are not allowed at Poco at all.

So Canam - you're our ammo oracle, any ideas on what stuff might be showing it's head in canada in the next while?

 

[CanAm]

Just an example of the way surplus ammo is marked for Germany. I came accross it on another forum today.
