223 for sale?

[1911]

Specs on the cheap 9mm? The stuff I have has a really hard primer, built for Uzi's as I recall. Some handguns will fire it, many require a double strike (or more) so not a viable ammo.

Sounds exactly like the Czechoslovakian military surplus ammo that used to be cheap and plentiful in Utah when I lived there (30+ years ago). I used to shoot it in my S&W Model 59 for practice, but about 1 round in 20 would not fire with a single hammer strike. But it cost next to nothing at the time -even a poor scooter tramp could afford to shoot.

That is the way I look at it, if I have to do a couple double strikes every 10-20 rounds when target shooting I'm OK with that. Obviously not something you would use in a ccw.

On a different subject, I didn't know you spent time in Utah, raised here?

No, raised in Colorado but I lived and worked in Moab, Vernal (Maeser actually) and Provo for about eight years total.

For anyone in SE PA who may be looking, Targetmaster had pallets of .223 for a decent price, including 62 gr XM855 green tips-- $230 for 420rnds w/can.

So I got the mass email from CTD today that mags are back in stock. I reluctantly clicked on the email to find that they are already sold out of all but one, which is the used GI model on "sale" for 160.00. Thanks but no thanks.

CTD is dead to me.
