Well thanks to Tony I now have to stock up on surplus ammo. JG is not a bad price but the shipping is rediculous. Any one have a source or is there good prices on this at shows? I have resisted milsurp for so long but it finaly found a way in. Group buy or road trip?

sportsmans guide. Pm me and I'll send you a coupon - though I recommend you join their Buyer's Club which gives you a discount, two coupons up front and a boat load of coupons throughout the year.

actualy the one i purchased was chzech one big square military tin with two rings soldered in pretty sure it was 880 rnds per tin. i will have to check i still have the crate full just no lid on the tin.

 

just looked 800 rnd tin in a nice wooden crate. i like the crate it was worth buying just for the crate..

Thanks, anyone up for a group buy? Matt, John, Maks, Tony?

Wideners seems like the way to go

 

ETA: Actually palmetto is a bit cheaper.

Wow, thanks guys for all the info. this saved me a lot of search time.

I dunno what's going on there. Sportsman's guide only charges me about $13 shipping for one spam can, but that link shows them charging some $23...

 

I don't have an account at Wideners and I don't want to set one up right now just to figure out the actual shipping charges.

tim, lets be honest... I will probly strip and clean these 3 I now have and sell them to ColdSolderJoint. :mrgreen:

Well then you can hook him up and sell him some ammo too. After all he is going to have to put them back together.

Tim, I'm up for a group buy, but not til I might up with Eric. Supposedly one Mosin will like bulgarien whereas another will like the Russian. It might be worth it to shoot each kind before you go ahead and buy in bulk

Question, is it possible to just pick up a box of this at Dick's or somewhere local so we can try these while waiting to order a tin or two? Or is all just ordered online? Maybe we can persuade Max to bring a couple of rounds to Brick tomorrow?

I'm not sure about dicks.. but they do make it in brass cased... some gun shop might have it.

I don't even own a MN yet but I'll go buy one today if I can get a deal on ammo

 

I've been meaning to get one, just never got around to it.

I used Dick's as an example because it is close to me and I got a gift certificate for Christmas. Our NJ Wally Worlds carry no ammo.

I never saw any 7.62x54R at Dick's. So, I would suggest local shops. The Surplus City in NE Phila usually has some - though not sure if it is close enough to you. You can also order smaller package from all sites mentioned above.

I know Meltzers carries 7.62x54R or at least they did last month when I bought my 638, so yeah, local shops, specially ones that carry Milsurp are likely to have it.

You can clean one really well and sell it to me

Sportsmans guide has always been the best for me.

As far as stocking up, I would orders small amounts of several different kinds 1st.

MN's are picky some shoot more accurately with different kinsd of ammo, My M44 prefers Polish heavy ball

while the 91/30 prefers Bulgarian light ball.

What did you get Tim? Moisin? Dragunov Sniper? MVT40?

Regular ole round receiver Mosin for Timbo

No such rifle as a MVT It's a SVT-40.
