That is something I have never bought yet. I tend to buy smaller quantities because when I get the cash for a crate of ammo I seem to buy a gun with it. I would love to get a crate just like that! Nice motivational picture :)

That crate of ammo sells up here in Canada for around $360.00. I can get 3 91/30's for the same price. The rifles have really come down in price up here. :D

But you can get SVT 40's for a lot less there too so a fair trade off. I think they go for like $500 there :D

Weldonhunter (?) sent me a link to Canadian gun seller that has SVT 40's for sale for $249.00. 91/30's were around 200, go figure.

I know JYD needs to air out his RV so here is a plan:

(roll music) dum-dum, dum-dum-dum,dum, dum-dum do-do-do-.............

Your mission Jim, if you decide to accept it: Load up cases of $160.00 silver tip, take a short trip to Canada, swap the cases of ammo for SVT-40s and bring them back to share with the members of the forums. As always, if you or any member of your team is killed or captured, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

The Armory online. The shipping was a little long, took three weeks.

That's a lot of ammo! :shock:

I can't shoot steel core around here and everything that is not steel is twice as much (+ or -). Only when I go to Nevada to visit my Brother, then out the steel comes.

AIM and SOG are within 30 minutes of me so ammo is not an issue. If they have it, I have it.

Yep that was me. http://shop.moregunssupply.com/Tokarev- ... p_352.html I found the site in a forum doing a google search. They had all kinds of neat stuff we don't have here. Like Sino Soviet SKS's for $74 (Backordered) and a Yugo Mauser M48BO (sanitized) for $479. They had some weird ammo that I've never heard of like Norinco .308 and and Polish Mesko 1400rd crates of 7.62x39 steel cased mil-surp. Oh and $279 for a crate of 7.62x54R WOW that's high. I just looked at the site and there's no way to view the rifles once you navigate away from that page and look at the menu. The ammo is all gone too for some reason. None of it's in the main menu anymore. Weird.

When I found this place I thought I'd hit the jackpot for obscure items, then I looked at where they are. Winnipeg, MB Oh well it was fun to look around.
