I still have some WWII or post WWII vintage corrosive

Ive bought a ****load of Russian, and never had a dud. Some of it is
early 1950s.

I rather like my Finns G

I like my Finnish Mosin Nagant too. (it is a Finnish conversion of an
originally Soviet rifle). Who knows where the ammo was made. I am
almost completely done with that ammo anyway.

Which one do you have? Mine are M39s, one is a civil guard..the other
is a provincial guard. One is Husqvarna, the other 2, Sako made. I cant
remember what the rest are. They are tucked away.....shrug.

I think the biggest stocks of surplus ammo I have ..the 7.62x54 is close
to the top.

He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the 'Cause.' Now, who wants to quit?"
