About this site

Due to the main focus of this site on the collecting and shooting
of C&R and military surplus firearms in their collectible original configurations,
sporterizing topics (ex. "how-to sporterize", or "hey, check out my cool sporter") will not be permitted in these fourms.
Thankyou,

Century's prices seem a bit high to me though - $116 for 440rds? (as per their website) These prices from elsewhere all seem quite a bit lower: Sportsman's Guide is currently selling what appears to be Polish Steel Core Light Ball in 44rd tins for $81.67/ 880rd cases for $156.72 + shipping. Cheaper than Dirt is offering Romanian Light Ball for between $85-$94 + shipping per 440 round tin (I think the lower price is a discount for buying two tins?) AIM Surplus and Wideners are both selling Russian Light Ball for $77 + shipping per 440 rd tin. J&G Sales are offering the unhelpfully labelled "Comm-Bloc" light ball, that they say is "most likely Russian" for $84.92 + shipping/440rd tin. So prices are fairly consistent among these vendors at around $80/440rds + shipping. Century seems higher, but maybe the price I saw on their website is a retail price and FFLs can buy at wholesale from them? Last Edited By: Ken Shabby Feb 9 12 11:28 PM. Edited 3 times.
