Is this a good place to get ammo. http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?i...n&groupid=5 Would you get the 300 round can with stripper clips or the 440 can without clips. Russian or Bulgarian Are there any local places to buy in bulk? I'm a shotgunner and this is my first military rifle. Thanks! back when we used to eat housecats we marinated them in louisiana hot sauce and soy sauce then season them with lemon pepper........then onto the grill slow cooking them 3 hours........excellent folded in tortillas and pico de gallo----Newgulf

I'm waiting for my dies to come in right now. Cheers, Vern1 Texans since The Old 300 in 1824 NRA Lifetime Member

FWIW, M\N's don't feed real well from factory clips and the aftermarket clips are worse. If you're interested, I've got some non-corrosive ammo that I'd be willing to sell or trade. Funny story for ya: right after I got my first M\N, I found some original stripper clips and got them all loaded up correctly and went out for a little Enemy At The Gates action. I busted off the first 5 rds., shoved the next clip-full in and went back to shooting. A couple of more shots and I noticed my hand was getting sweaty and it was hard to hang onto the stock. When I went to wipe my hand, I realized it wasn't sweat but blood pouring out of the nice little 1\2" gash in the side of my right thumb. I was kinda bumfuzzled as to how I did it until that night when I was reloading the stripper clips and found the burr along the edge of one complete with a strip of skin... Old age ain't for sissies!

That Bulgarian looks pretty good. I may try some of what Vern1 posted as well. Finally found some brass for sale... http://www.gunstop.com/Store/Rifle%20Brass/Prvi-Partizan/PPU-762X54R
