Mil Surplus Ammo for FN FAL????

[RayGun1928]

Ok, so the Radway Green ammo has dried up a long time ago. I've got a class coming up in the spring, and need 1200 rnds of ammo. Nothing fancy needed for the class, and my Radway ammo is staying home. Any thoughts on some of the stuff out there? I found one site that listed this stuff from Serbia that was reasonable, but quality???? I don't want to pay for the class and then end up with crap ammo while I'm training. HELP!!!!!

I would stay away from Isrealie surplus. My buddys DSA FAL choked on it (FTE) 1 out of every 3 shots even with the gas valve turned wide open. My M1A never hiccupped. He said it was because the cases were so nasty that they got stuck in the chamber. To its credit the FAL did rip the rim off the case trying to eject it.....

Just get some Wolf if you want factory ammo.

I wouldn't waste any real $$ on factory ammo, it's all garbage anyway.

1200 rounds for one individual's consumption in a single class? That's astounding.

The Prvi Partizan M80 has good reviews on Midway's website. Palmetto State Armory lists it slightly cheaper.

I have no FAL, but have tried some of Lot No. PPU 0704-01 (older stuff) and it works fine....

Cheers,

Yeah, the class should be awesome. Oops, got my numbers backwards. 800 rifle, 1200 pistol. 5 day class. Should be a blast, no pun intended.

Check out this link:

It was updated on 2 Dec, so it should be current. Samco is advertising that they still have Port 7.62 for .54 per round...

Re: Mil Surplus Ammo for FN FAL????

did you look at sportsmans guide? they were in stock with the items i posted.

Re: Mil Surplus Ammo for FN FAL????

What about .45ACP? Anyone have a good source for that?

SAMCO has what I need. The Port stuff looks like it'll be the way.

I've used the Port. It was a good ammo for the price. I think I paid .50 a round a few months ago. Cycled fine in my M1A. It was a little dirty though. Won't matter in your FAL.

Re: Mil Surplus Ammo for FN FAL????

I've had mixed results with South African battle packs in my FAL. I bought one, it shot all 140 rounds flawlessly and often grouped sub MOA. So, I bought three more packs. Next pack shoots 2-4 MOA and most rounds stick when ejecting causing me to have to pound the bolt open.

Re: Mil Surplus Ammo for FN FAL????

All the SA I had was good stuff, seemed hotter than the other surpluses.
I really like Port.

Heres a great reference that's constantly updated on who has what 308 ammo for how much:
