Nice man I wish I could stumble on that type of find. I did see a guy on Gunboards had the yugo ammo crate of 1000 or so rounds for like 412 bucks I didn't have the dough to get it or I would have.

Good deal, sounds like the stuff in the spam cans I was stashing back in the 90's
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Check out the Yugo M67 prices on GB. One auction ends in about 10 minutes. He started the bidding at $1 and it is now at $545 for that sealed
crate. Another is at $500 already.

At these prices, I may have to go out back and pull a few extra cases out just for Gun Brokers. I remember last summer how myself and three other guys were nuts for buying multiple crates at a time of M67. No one wanted to believe that it would soon be all gone.

I have no idea what all the fuss is about. This place http://ustacticalsupply.com/762x39battlepacks.aspx has the 1260rd crates of M67 for the low low price of $625. The were $525 for a long time but with all the buying frenzy they decided to raise it just a tad. The funny thing is they originally listed these with 158 crates in stock and now are down to only 155. I guess they were selling to fast so that's why they raised the price. :roll:

I found a case of plain 'ol black box Wolf listed for $500 the other day. The Yugo sounds like a bargain, at least it has 260 more rounds included :chuckles:

It appears a few crates of M67 have went $600 in the past week. The one on GB reset more time. It's up to $580 now.
