Military ammo

I was in a gun shop today and got the last few boxes of 7.5 X 54mm French military ammo. It is new manufacture, boxer primed and reloadable. They had 7.65 X 53 Belgian Mauser and other odd ball ammo. It was not cheap, but this stuff is hard to find. Take care...

A lot of places around here are getting low on ammo. I buy what I need when I see it. All the best...

Joe & Gil,

You nice folks will NOT live long enough to shoot off all the ammo you guys have horded. Actually you need a company-size group to help distribute the bandoleers "along the firing line." LOL.

It depends

I only buy military ammo that I can use someday. Problem is, we do not know how long the current dry spell will last. The days of cheap and readily available military ammo are about gone. Fortunately, I reload for all my military rifles. All the best...

Gil,

Our biggest county gun show is at Morris, PA on March 14-15, 2009. It is held in the new, large Morris fire hall. Lots of dealers and vendors make that show. I plan to stock up on all the stuff I may need in the years ahead. It is also a great place to find various military gun parts, slings, etc.

If you can make it up for that Morris show, we will take the truck. Let me know.

Adam
