| Ok, so for those that have been hoarding the surplus a lot longer than I have, do you have a list and timeline of what country's ammo became available, and when? And what has been berdan and boxer primed? I'm trying to figure out what's still out there. Anyone care to speculate? |

Oh, the sweet ass shooting Portuguese of '78. Man I'm glad I bought that shit up by the thousands in the '90s for under 100 bucks a K. The Port , The Hirt and the Aussie  This. I remember buying a case (880) rnds of Aussie in a crate for $129.99 delivered......my FAL has been on strict diet. |

I haven't seen Hirt or Portugese for sale for years and the SA is drying up. Pretty soon all that will be left is Paki and Indian unless someone finds a warehouse stash somewhere. New production is available.....if you don't mind paying the price. |
This is pure speculation, but I am predicting a flood of Turkish 7.62 soon as they adopt the HK 416. G3 parts too!  Portuguese is still available, not cheap though http://www.samcoglobal.com/Ammunition.html#308 |
