Question: Can we buy the seized ammo for discount prices?

Another question: What is the difference between six fragmentation grenades and six anti-personnel grenades? Last I checked a frag was for anti-personnel.

Ask Boxer and Feinstein. 90% of the grenade launchers and RPGs in Mexico were bought at Wal-marts in the U.S.

Fortunately, the D@mocrats instituted a waiting period for grenade launcher, RPG, & machine gun sales, so we're all safe. Sorry to say, my local Walmarts (& gun stores) are out of all three...

Some of the 'Broom Handle' Mausers used a 'clip' (or charger), IIRC...

I hate it when the mexican drug gangs use collector weapons just to look cooler.

The worst part (if you can find one - I hear the Mexican dope gangs have cleaned out every Walmart & K-Mart in the southern half of the country) is having it 'mounted' on your 'shoulder.' I hear it requires major surgery, including bone grafts, taken from your @ss if you have even half a brain - or, if you're a D@mocrat / Obamao voter, from your empty & completely useless brain pan...

Ain't that the sh!ts? A few years back, the international dope gangs were all using pre-1899 Lee-Enfield cavalry carbines, caliber 303. Nothing cooler on the face of the planet!!! 303 rules!!! "Rule 303!!!" Go, Baby!!! But as a direct result, my diligent D@mocrat political representatives were forced (FORCED, I tell you!) to ban all Lee-Enfield rifles where I live.

Sorry (my memory was a millimeter off there): the D@mocrats were just 'thinking' about it - it hasn't actually become law...

yet...

That’s what I thought... but, alas, my time in the army has not properly taught me the distinguishing differences between the two!

>I REALLY need about 2,500 more rounds in order to fell comfortable about the coming years.

ONLY 2,5k more?

That's the advantage of .22 LR (if you're a good shot ;>)...

According to the Mexican army, inside the SUV, soldiers found a cache of weapons, including a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, eight assault rifles, four handguns, six fragmentation grenades, six anti-personnel grenades, one flash-bang, 140 ammunition clips for handguns and rifles and more than 5,400 rounds.

Slackers.

I think Humble's midget is better armed than that. I'm positive he has more ammuniton, and likely has more explosive devices as well.

We had a .303 smuggling thread awhile back. Thought maybe for a Lewis Gun?

60 Minutes did a hit piece a few weeks back, showing what they claimed were weapons legally purchased in the USA and illegally taken to Mexico, and there were no guns I could purchase here in the USA.

You mean 60 Minutes actually "lied" to the 'American People?' That hasn't happened since ... well... maybe yesterday... or...

FWIW, I wouldn’t send 2 cents to Sportsman’s Guide - based on my experiences with them, IMHO, they are a bunch of thieves...
