    We can still buy them ammo for about 25 €/c a pop.
    S&B.
    Most people don’t even reload for AK ammo here.
    We might look as if were spoiled at this point

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    me too on the brass. been collecting it whenever people leave it. I figure my brass will wear out at some point and it's always nice to have it on hand. However, their is only 4 primer manufacturers
    Great Primer Shortage of 2020
    Right now, 20 bucks looks like a single flat of 100 primers, or $200 looks like a brick unless you get real lucky.

    good news is you buy a few bricks of primers on gun broker, or you can fly to Italyicon and buy a few bricks of primers for about the same price!

    I found a place selling them for $8 a box here but most of the places here a price-gouging because they can, its at the point now where ammo is a good deal at Big5 which was always consisted the high priced ammo here. Just means they have lost my business when things normalize and I let them know by a YELP review.
