[oramoc]

well i have not got it home yet but he will hold it till i get the money here is what she looks like. he had more 308 nato ammo than he thought . he had some i had never seen before in little clear plastic sealed packs of about 5 or ten rounds the cleanest stuff i ever saw he said it might be from australia. well i hope you like my new baby. i will be selling some of my other rifles here first to help pay for this one.

Just gonna toss it out there... nice rifle btw, real clean! But I think the plastic wrapped bliter pack ammo is Indian that some distributor took and polished/tumbled and repackaged...... From what I understand it was some of the worst looking of all the batches, and they sorted through it culling bad looking shells... i personally wouldn't shoot anyhting from a possibly bad lot through that fine piece of machinery. Shoot it through the FR-8 or something and keep the known good quality ammo going through the NM.

+1 to jfoul's post. Check the headstamp. That blister pack ammo if it's indian was made without the brittish overseeing quality control. And has resulted in blown up guns. Nice rifle, I hope to get one soon.

+1 for Jfowl, I had that stuff a few years back, real nasty

here are some pics of the real deal. don't know how they will turn out so just in case they aren't any good the head stamp reads aff and the date. these are 1990. btw real nice looking rifle. hope this is some help. ps the back of the blister packs reads 5 cart 7.62 mm ball f4aff and what looks to be a lot #

[okie shooter]

That sure looks like the australian bubble pack stuff. The Indian in question is OVF headstamp. BTW, turn off the flash, and see if you have a macrozoom on your camera to make that come out.

thanks for that tip. all this computer and digital stuff gives me a fit at times. just an older fellow trying to get by in the new age.:crazyeyes:

[oramoc]

[oramoc]

sorry about my last post was trying to fix spelling . that post made no sense . bottom line that is what i will be getting along with the sa ammo.

Congrats on the very nice looking rifle. The stainless NM barrel and the ARMS mount are a nice addition. Which scope is that on there?

[QuickDrawMcGraw]

Very nice rifle . Enjoy and get us a range report please.

[MJ11]

Oh here they are. Nice rifle, what year. I have the M3 LR on my '83 NM/M21.


Happy New Year

I wasn't aware that Aussie ammo was in blister packs as well. If its Aussie that you picked up and not the blister packed OFV Indian, you can shoot it with confidence. Aussie gets good range reports all over the place.

See if you can pick up some of the heavy Lake City Sniper ammo. It shoots like a dream through those NM barrels. Oddly enough, the best groups shot with the one in "our group" were shot with Israeli ammo, and a lot of guys swear that Israeli is bad stuff.

[oramoc]

the scope is a super sniper 16 power

[oramoc]

he got it new about a year and a half ago still has the box and all the booklets. but dont know when it was built

[7.62guy]

i have not shot any of this as of yet. i have three 140 rd. boxes of it tucked away with a few more various makers. many of the men where i shot speak very well of it and i have heard of no problems with it.:icon_biggrin:

[Rocky]

The Indian ammo is head stamped OFV,
