Here in Southern Kaliforina I payed $99 for an arsenal reconditioned VG+ M44 w/accessories, $25 registration, 8$ tax, = $132 out the door. Winchester White box ammo is running running around $22 a box for reloadable 180gr SP and FMJ, I see it is manufactured in The Czech Republic so it is probably made by S&B under licence. What blows my mind is a bag of x50 7.62x54R Win brass, made in USA ?, runs $50, so it is a better buy to get boxed ammo then reload that!
