Don't know about that here. Some of the local hardware stores here sell firearms and ammo-mostly Ace franchises.Junk Yard Dog wrote:A tire store selling ammo....I asked about that idea last time I saw a friend of mine who manages the local Mavis tire. He eventually stopped laughing but somehow I get the impression it's not going to happen on this side of the border.

Re: Cost of ammunition
They did that here also up at least to the mid 1980's. I remember buying 400 rounds of Federal .30 carbine ammo from a friend of mine who ran the local mom and pop hardware store in 1987. I still have one 50 round box left.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Cost of ammunition
Did they have full crates of 54r and if so how much?miner49r wrote:Took a trip to the big city and shopped til we dropped. We found 7.62x54r bulk ammo at P&D Enterprises. Sellier and Bellott 440 rounds for $189.
Looked at a 1942 Tula 91/30 at Crappy Tire. Bit of a strange one, S/N was 10 on all parts except the receiver which had 2 Cyrillic letters before the 10. Just a ton of cosmoline all over it. Didn't buy it. Is the S/N something unusual?

My svt 40 doesn't like the Norinco stuff to much but loves the S&B..
Re: Cost of ammunition
I only saw the 440 for sale. It's marked Czech Republic and comes in 20 round boxes with plastic dividers inside. No spam can. The kid googled the markings on a round and thought it might be Chinese. ![Image](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170109/58f9905594dd0783a8c08a8db924e5e6.jpg)

Re: Cost of ammunition
Chinese ammo packaged in the Czech Republic based on the headstamp. Factory code 61.
Am I reading it right??

Re: Cost of ammunition
According to a few sources it appears to be Chinese factory 61 made in 1967.

Re: Cost of ammunition
And there I thought I was getting good European ammo. I should have read the label closer!
Oh well, I hear the Chinese ammo is pretty good as well. I assume it would have the same characteristics as the 1966 ammo on the 7.62x54r.net website

Re: Cost of ammunition
I bought a 400 round box of that stuff today at P&D because no one has crates of Russian surplus... bummer.
Anyway I'll find out tomorrow how it shoots.

Re: Cost of ammunition
I have bought plenty of 7.62x51mm from Venezuela that was made by the Yugoslavians.

Re: Cost of ammunition
I fired some rounds down range and good grief is that Chinese stuff ever dirty.Every few shots I'd have a failure to extract and the copper washed cases were just black.
Meanwhile the search is still on for some Russian surplus.
