    50's Brit milsurp MkVII ammo

    Don't buy any of the yellow box Brit milsurp from the 50's - such as what SOG is selling.

    It's click.. bang or click.. nothing. Rather dissapointing.

    still not that happy with sog after my recent magazine debacle.

    helped a friend without internet access order some tok mags. they have mags pictured with the lanyard loops on the bottoms on the mags, and no indication that the items for sale were not as pictured. i ordered him 3. they came without the lanyard loops. so i had to be the one in the middle dealing with them over it. they said, "if you wanted the ones with the lnyard loops, you should have made a note requesting that". if they had the correct ones pictures, and no notations that they were available in any other configuration than what was shown, why the fuck would i put a notation in!?!?!?

    hope they make it right for you easier than they did for me. did you make a notation when you were checking out that you wanted the ammo to function properly?

    I didn't even think there was any surplus .303 floating around anymore.

    This is Brit manufacture - not Paki. It's on chargers, so not a total loss. It's origninal, cordite charged ammo. I guess it could be sold as collector ammo - yeah, that's the ticket... I'll put it on gunbroker as collector ammo only and sell for a good price.

    It is hard to find and many people don't know about buying from wholesalers - as weird as that seems to us here.

    Yellow box and British, I should know that name but it escapes me. What's it say on the box? Considering it's 1950 I'm a little shocked it isn't reliable. Oh, oh I think I just remembered the name is it Kynoch?
