Speaking of Chinese ammo. A year or two ago some military sources were reporting the Taliban was using projectiles reversed engineered from US military projectiles. Can you guess the source of the ammo...

Chinese firearms are no longer imported either.

Problem with a lot of the chinese ammo is that you just never know when its steel cored, or has corrosive primers or corrosive powder in it. Best to steer far away from that junk. Ive seen a lot of it in the past where the powder was about equal to wet newspaper.

Back when I was into SKS's, I could get Chinese 120 round battle packs for under $20. But they were steel cored, and got banned. Even though the Russian ammo was also steel cored. If you want to drool and see what we are missing in the "Land of the Free", check out Marstar in Canada. And, no, they don't ship Chinese firearms to the US. >:( Scroll down to Norinco and check out the prices)

Some years back I purchased (3) cases of Norinco .308 Win steel cased Berdan primed ammo. It was (and is) the worst ammo I've ever had the displeasure to fire. Pressures were all over the place using report and recoil as a measuring stick. Sold the 2.5 cases I didn't fire. But it was cheap.

I recelntly got 2500 rounds of ChiCom ammo for my Draco AK.  Nasty, dirty but it was cheap and fires.
