8MM Mauser availability
Jay:
Does anyone fire much of the 8MM Mauser, (7.92 X 57)? I just acquired a Turkish rebuild of a GEW 98 and was wondering about ammo availability. I have no experience with this round at all. The rifle came with about 70 rounds of old Turkish ammo (stamped 1950). Where is a good place to buy ammo?
Administrator:
My roommate has an old 8mm Mauser; it's a fun round to shoot. When he bought his rifle, the ammo was plentiful and cheap, but right now the ammo is scarce and expensive. I usually get surplus ammo from either http://www.aimsurplus.com or http://www.wideners.com. Right now it looks like they both only have sniper grade surplus ammo thats running $315/900. :'(
I'll search some other sites and see if I can find something for you.

Holy silver bullets, Batman! :o
How much sense does it make to fire $3.00 ammo out of a $80 gun??? ???
Looks like I bought some ammo and got a rifle for free!
Jay:
LOL, did I ever mention that I am mathematically dislexic? ;D

Ammo prices really are getting ridiculous. Even 7.62x54r is up to $80/440!!!
