They were way over-priced on spam cans of 7.62x54 but on this gun they seemed a bit under the market from what I've seen.

That Westinghouse will have a .308 diameter bore.  That alone would make it cheaper to load for..... and do NOT shoot the .311 mild steel jacketed milsurp ("bi-metal"?)  ammo thru that: my dad did that with his, and the rifling was gone in short order.
The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.

It seems my M44 has breed with my 91/30"s. Got into the safe the other day and found 2 Finn M39's. May need to start selling some.
Hope the Mauser's dont do the same.
