Original 9mm German, outstanding :) . I have been hanging on to the last of my Nazi 8mm though I'll admit I fired hundreds of rounds.

first picture is of the 8.56r ammo. the rest i ordered 5-6 cases about 10-15 years ago from century and these were some of what i got. i still have around 10 full ammo cans of it also. some of it is from the early to mid 30's

WOW What a great find :mrgreen: we would not be allowed to even look at such a prize. The dealers would spirit it away...

Shweeeet... I really love the Nazi stuff. All of the old surplus is historic but the Nazi stuff is classic. There's some sites selling it but they really really think highly of it. I picked up 3 cases of the Yugo 8mm stuff this year and am already regretting not getting more. Can I go with you to the next gunshow you go to?

if you want to make the trip to tennessee come on.a small gun store about half hour from my house still sell's some 8mm for $3.99 a box. i need to go back and clean him out before someone else does. it is a small store but he keeps the guns out on the floor on home made gun racks. his prices on surplus guns are going up but you can still get some good deal's.
also this wed sog will have a one day sell on the 7.62x54 for $67 a tin of 440 rounds.

If any of you are looking for an M95 Steyr rifle still wrapped in paper with string around it made in Vienna or original Nazi 8X56r ammo in the stripper clips, Here you can find. The Website stinks and DO NOT try to order from it. This poor guy works 9+ hour shifts at night. Prices,shipping estimates, are all wrong!
He had some guy set this up and it does not work. You have to call and ask for Levi Mitchell only. Or ask him to call you back. He can be a little slow.This I am pretty sure is just his wife and self. He is trying to fix the site,but is not real good at web pages.Nice fella though.

You will see the ammo and other items, but if you click on it you will get nothing. You must call.The guy has crates loads of military slings he got from a big collectors estate sale plus others.He has no earthly idea what 99% of them are. If ya got a hard to find sling, send him a pic and they will look for what you need.
Does take awhile. The poor guy has little time to even sleep a few hours. I have by doing a show and tell with him found and bought several fairly rare double dog collar Romanian Red Leather SKS slings. New condition it appears. He may give you a price, even on the ammo, but usually will deal some.

This is a little guy, FFL01, NRA weapons instructor and one man show basically. Not a big web distributor with a customer service department. But he probably can help with your 8X56r ammo and rifles, plus slings. A lot of military goodies on here, and he has more stuff than the crappy web page shows.Seems to be an honest guy. I have found some good stuff here I could not find else where. Worth a try here for Military items. Just call, do not order on the site.
If ya have the patience,this place can pay off in the long run for you. Good Hunting!

Millman, darn it,I always seem to forget a link!

Remember, don't use the sight except to look at. And,only CS is poor Levi! :D
But I've found good military stuff there and negotiated some pricing. I think the 8x56r is 1937 to 1939 mfg dates.
