Surplus ammo

[Gil Martin]

The local gun shop is a treasure trove of small lots of surplus ammo. From places unknown, surplus ammo turns up. I found four 70-round boxes of 7.62x25mm ammo that appears to be East German or Czech and got it for next to nothing. I also came across a few boxes of 9mm Largo (which I have not seen for years) and wished I knew someone who could use it. In the back room was a half case of pre-WWII (1935) 8mm Mauser ammo with German markings in stripper clips in 15-round boxes. I asked the shop owner where he gets this stuff. His response was that folks drop it off. I always enjoy visiting the shop and looking around. All the best...
