What kind of 7.62 surplus is this??

[Mass-diver]

Grabbed a few boxes of this stuff from my local dealer today. The guy didn't know where it is from, he just told me that it is not corrosive. For curiosity sake, I figured someone on here would know:

I don't know about the ammo, but I think I saw something similar at Guns 'n Gun Parts in W. Springfield. But I love the carpet!

Thanks, it's actually a table cloth.... (Williams Sonoma - my wife's taste - not mine)

British L2A2. Decent price too (by today's standards) although not great. The ammo is NATO surplus.

Thanks,nine fiddy isn't bad for RORG..I would have bought it all.

You can go ahead and IM me the name of the shop so I can buy the rest of it.

For some reason,that ammo works really good with my FAL .

I think the shop, Hunter's Trading Post, only had another box or two. I'm going to put some of it through my SOCOM today.

Yes that is great ammo.

I bought a case of it from the FALFILES about 2 months ago / 450.00 shipped.

For those that are not fluent in ammo speak RORG = Royal Ordnance Radway Green.

I only know this from purchasing the .223 ammo in battle packs marked as such.

$9.50 for 20 rounds.. cough! Man, you guys questioned German stuff at .39 a round! Diver, PM me if you want a small qaunity. jp

The Radway Green is considered to be the cream of the crop.

That I would strongly disagree with. Israeli IMI or Portuguese is much better. I used it exclusivly in a bolt action Howa M&P for years and keep enough around for a special day. Ragged hole at 100..200 yards dead on bull. RG is nothing special, infact Brit primers always have been suspect and accuracy is ok at best.

I've had absolutely shit luck with the IMI, and although the Portuguese shoots very well, I've had some problems with bullets fragmenting. (Remington PSS)

YMMV.

$.39 a round for that German stuff is expensive if you can't find anyone that ever shot the stuff before,while RORG is well known.

I guess we all have our prefrence. Never had an issue from Either. But I guess anything is possible. Look at 1950's Yugo 8x57 compared w/ '70's. Year to year, lot to lot, some things change. I don't buy RG because of issues I've had. Just my experience, but .....I've shot German before, no issues.

I wouldn't even blink if I could buy German DAG or MEN headstamped 7.62 at $.39/rd, although the last case of MEN had cost me approx. $.29/rd two years ago.

They all work good sitting in massive piles next to your FAL.

No,they all look good sitting in big piles next to my FAL.
