Got any Military surplus
Re: Got any Military surplus
Same around here in Indiana ammo is hard to come by but .22lr is starting to show up more and around $4-5 for a 50 round box. I use to buy 500 round boxes for $20 but that's been a long time now. For 5.56 I use to buy tula $120 for a 500 round spam can. 8mm a local guy would sell for .30 a round. 7.62x54R for the PSL was $100 a spam can good luck touching that for less than $200

Re: Got any Military surplus
I have a small collection of militaria, my friend and I go to a local show each year. Just a small inventory of my collecting over the years off the top of my head:
-A GI helmet and liner from WW2
-A Major's helmet and liner with markings and provenance (nobody famous, but I keep meaning to dig into his story)
-A Serbian surplus helmet
-A Prussian WW1 field cap
-3 German daggers, Hitler Youth, SA, and Luftwaffe
-2 Mosin Nagants, 1 a hex and the other a round receiver
-A Mauser .32 pistol
-and my personal favorite to use, a surplus Garand
I was hemming and hawing over a Japanese pith helmet, an IJN helmet, and an Afrika Korps pith at the last show in August but passed on them. Still a little gun shy on superfluous several hundred dollar purchases after being out of work for a few months earlier this year. Hopefully next year!

Re: Got any Military surplus
That’s a nice collection, Glamdring.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Got any Military surplus
That sounds like some really nice finds.

Re: Got any Military surplus
Yeah, it's been a fun time accumulating it all over the years. I look at it all as a form of investment that is much more interesting to look at than the numbers on a website.
