Trade Ammo for Yugo?

[kjeff50cal]

I just put a Yugo SKS (59/66) on layaway. It was one of those spur of the moment things. I was getting a single barrel shotgun (a Norinco) to make in to a woods loafing car trunk gun. It is a replacement for one I had BD, before divorce (I bubbah err... customize only modern guns with no intrinsic value  :-D  :-D  :-D  ). To back up a bit Sunday I went to my family's property for a bit of deer hunting with my MN M 38, (deer 1, hunter 0). My cuz was fussing with a box when I pulled in. He looked up and smiled at me and said I have something up your alley gesturing at the box. I look in..... a pile of ammo!!! mostly .30,06 (about 100 rounds) and 3 1/2 boxes of .300 Weatherby Mag Ammo (Norma made, & I wished he had the rifle too but that was too much to dream about). He was about to throw the shells out to keep it from Ryan (his 7 year-old step son). The ammo came from a relatives house (passed away) that he was given the chore of cleaning up. I took the ammo promising to give it a good home and after the three hour stay in my stand I went back home . Today I went to pick up the shotgun and mentioned the ammo to the gunshop owner. He said he would give me a good down payment on any gun in the store for the Weatherby Ammo sooo...... The Yugo is on layaway.

[S.S.]

An old Fella' I used to work with owned a Hardwre store on the side also.
He got into some trouble with the bank and they were about to forclose
on the store so he basically started giving stuff away to keep the bank from getting it.(I found this out a couple of years later) He brought me  probably 3000 rounds of assorted Ammo. Every thing from 25-35
to 300 H&H Magnum. Most of it was pretty rare stuff by todays standards.
.32 Win. Spl., 44-40 Win, 38-40 Win, 300 savage, 280 Rem, 244 Rem,
just to name a few. I traded that stuff here & there
for probably 10 years before I ran out of it !
   I haven't thought about that in years until I saw your post. My friend
passed away a couple of years after he gave me that ammo.
He was probably the best story teller I have ever heard (besides Jerry Clower) and it amazes me how much I remember about what he told me.
He was a WWII vet from the South Pacific and hated the Japanese until the day he died. I will relate a couple of his stories here when I have a little more time.
