Chinese Norinco .308 ammo?

MGD 45 · 09-24-2007, 05:54 PM

I've interested in buying some of this Chinese made .308 Norinco ammo, but have been told that it hasn't been made for 10 years. Does anyone know what I can expect to pay for this stuff. One of the local pawn shops in town told me the other day that he thought he was getting a case of it. Any ideas on value....?

Never heard of it. But most military .308, unless specifically match grade, will probably not be exceptionally accurate. I got a bunch of Hirtenberger stuff a while back and it's not all that great. And I thought Hirtenberger was a darn good name. Nothing I have can shoot anything like a "group" with it.

Probably good machine gun fodder, I suppose.........

Well I've used it in the past.

My SAR-48 I had actually shot it very well. But I have no idea what the current market value would be. I think it used to average about a $1 more per 20rd box than 7.62x39. $3-4 a box maybe but that was around 15years ago.
