Slightly OT, but I figure this is where most of the milsurp types hang out.  Does anyone know of a good source for the old surplus flechettes that came out of the beehive rounds?  The best I've found is CTD at $20 per pound, which seems high.  I want to experiment a bit with them as single projectiles - I know they will shoot out of a pellet gun.

If it's too far of topic lock away.

If all else fails you can get new ones at the link. Pricey though. Or maybe a sample box of loaded shells broken down?
