Surplus Military Rifles As An Alternative To Buying A New Rifle
By Joe Menzies Published: 10/14/2009
The word "Ammunition" comes from a word in French, "la munition" which described any war-related ordnance. Now, it's known as "ammo". In a historical context. it meant projectiles, such as bullets and shot, as well astheir primers and fuses, that were fired from guns and canons or otherwise propelled. Today, the term encompasses a wider collection of weaponry including nuclear, biological, chemical, or explosive material, such as grenades or rockets.
Did you know that people from quite varied walks in life are interested in ammunition - from bear hunters to full-time experts in ballistics, forensics, metallurgy, chemistry, and manufacturing disciplines. Obviously, there's the current and former law enforcement and military professionals. On the more passive side are historians (particularly of the Civil War) and hobbyists interested in the ammunition's evolution over time, and the surprising variety of ingenious designs that have been tried.
Some people's hobby is building a collection of militaria and weaponry rather than beingan active shooter or hunter. Since the Second World War ended, a great many surplus military rifles have been imported and sold in the United States. As various militaries around the world, particularly in the smaller nations, clean out their reserve stocks of obsolete rifles, a few models are still being imported.
Hunters favor a range of rifles with the New England Firearms Handi-Rifle being one of the most popular (though it can be hard to source due to that popularity). New rifles can be quite expensive and it's worth your time to check if there are used firearms for sale either in your local gun stores or online.
Traditionally, when you wanted to buy ammunition, you'd pay a visit to your local gun store. Of course, these days you have the option of getting ammo for sale online. But knowing what you need is important. Looking for the cheapest ammo online isn't all that's involved. Other factors should be taken into account so you're certain you'll get precisely what you require - the type of ammo you need is determined by what you intend to shoot or hunt.
You also need to consider how much ammunition you require. Locate a source, such as military surplus ammunition, where you can get replacement stocks easliy of the same ammunition so you don't end up switching ammunition and having to head down to the shooting range to sight in the new ammo. Zeroing in a rifle takes time and ammunition isn't that cheap, even if you're buying surplus ammo. So save yourself some heartache.
Military surplus ammunition is, essentially, the ammo that the armed forces (Army, Navy. Marine Corps) have surplus to requirements. In the past, it also included ammo that soldiers took home with them when they were discharged, and then later sold. These days, such things are more rigorously controlled and ammunition and weapons must be returned before a soldier leaves military life. Military surplus ammunition is one of the most sought after types of ammo simply because the savings in cost are usually pretty substantial when compared to the prices offered by hunting and outdoor speciality stores and other more generic big stores.
Surplus ammunition can come from outside the U.S. as well as from within it. An example that is the 7.62x39mm rifle cartridge which was designed during Second World Warand first used in the SKS carbine by the Soviet Union.
Do a bit of research online when looking at the price of ammo and availablility and remember that the the best solution isn't always the least expensive. In the long run, doing the research will save you money and time.
