Where can I find surplus ammo?

[Andreas]

Hi all, I'm new on the board. I have just recently started a milsurp collection:
Russian SKS, Yugo M-48BO Mauser (and a Mosin Nagant 91/30 & M44 on the way). I am wondering where I can buy surplus ammo for these rifles? From what I'm reading around here it seems that it is pretty scarce. Any info is appreciated.

for the 8mm mauser it is practically inexistent
for the sks, most supporting dealers (look at logos on top) have it
as for 7.62x54 you will have to wait a bit. there;s a batch that is supposed to hit our shores sometime soon ( at least that's the rumours)

Try 1985. 'cuss there ain't much left now.

 

[Pig4000]

there is none, and if you find some most guys jack the price up to something retarded.

Picked up a case of 7.62x39 from Lever Arms in Vancouver! Looking forward to heading to the range.

Who said anything about bringing ammo from the US?

Local Gun shows, sometimes you luck out, or re-load.

Is it a hassle to have cases of ammo shipped to your house

Only for the mailman that has to carry it to your door.

i felt bad for the canpar guy trying to carry a 7.62x54 and 7.62x39 case to my place.
total would have been 100 pounds

he soon gave up and brought them in two runs

"...ammo in from the US?..." As mentioned read the sticky. No ammo exported from the States without their export permit (that requires a Canadian import permit and several months of waiting) for the U.S. seller to get. The ammo has to be approved for importation by NRCan too.

I'm certain heaven has piles of match-grade surplus... just they won't let you bring guns.
