Suplus Ammo

Where can I find Surplus Ammo in Ontario, Canada for a decent price. I'm looking for the one's below:

.303 British
.308 (7.62X51) NATO
7.62X54R
7.62X39

Thanks in advance.

I asked Ellwood Epps (Orillia) if they had any surplus x39 and x54R
Case of 1,120 of x39 was 179.99
Case of 800 of 54R was 269.99
It's Czech surplus

Not sure of the number of cases available. I haven't been able to find any 303 surplus anywhere in Canada sadly :(

Surplus .303 hasn't been commercially available in Canada for years. Your best bet is gunshows, but expect to pay at least $.50 a round, if not more.

As far as 7.62 NATO goes, there's still places that have the South African stuff available. Prices for it seem to be anywhere from $.50 to $.85 each. Marstar has Norinco 7.62 NATO coming next month at $500/1000, IIRC. I heard there was an ad in Canadian Access to Firearms listing German GECO 7.62, but I can't remember any of the details.

The last Orangville gun show had .303 for sale.

.303 british surplus was $25 for 32 rds

.303 made by FN was $75 for 100 rds.

I see Marstar is taking orders for what they list as Norinco .308. Has anyone fired this before. Are they any good?

With tax and shipping it will work out to be about $.60 a round. Is that a decent price and should I be stocking up as I have a Norinco M14S on order?

Thanks in advance.

Wow, I may be able to retire on my .303 hoard (I wish).

The Norinco 7.62 NATO has a good reputation, if somewhat smelly to shoot. Is it a decent price, only you can decide. Two years ago FNM and Hirtenberger were $300/1000. These days, $500 and up is the going rate for surplus 7.62 NATO. I wouldn't pay that much, but I'm cheap and on a budget.

I've only got 2k of FNM for my N14 so I don't shoot it much. I bought a CZ858 for a range blaster to take advantage of the cheap 7.62x39 that's available right now.
