Hello, my "all over the world" -friends.
I'm sitting here in "cold" Norway, and having a rather difficult hobby (at least in Norway!).
I have a gloving love for rifles and cartridges, and for that reason I have collected some cartridges on a shelf in my reloading -room. I'm not collecting for any vallue. I'm simply collecting for my own joy, and to have something to look at, and come up with some new prosjects and ideas.
Its quite difficult to get hold of only one round of any cartridge. If you try to buy some in a gunshop, you'll have to buy at least 20 pcs.(A whole package). And another problem is that they dont have all of theme, either.
I'm maybe naive, but can you guys PLEASE help me extend my collection??

Thanks for the support! Drop me an address off-line, I'll send a 222 Rem Mag and a 7mm-08 your way.

<Paladin>

Arild,
attempt to contact me directly with a wish-list of specimens wanted. Bear in mind, postal regulations universally prohibit the mailing of live ammunition. If dummy ctgs. are okay and you have specific preferences, then help can be on the way....

I can throw in a 480 Ruger, 500 AHR and maybe a 505 Gibbs if you don't mind it being stamped 577 NE as that was what the brass was made from. Also could throw in a 41 Mag. Send me an address and I'll start putting these in a box to ship. Noticed you didn't have a 358 Winchester on the list, will ship one of them also.

As Paladin mentioned, shipping live ammo is prohibited. If you can live with dummy rounds, I can send a 6.5 Gibbs (.270 Win wildcat; my 1,000yard round)
7.62UKM (.338 Lapua Magnum wildcat. shortend and necked down)

12.7x108 (Russian heavy machinegun)

I didn't see a 8mm Rem mag on your list. If your in need of this one let me know where to send it. Rob

<RobinBailes>

Is there any restriction about mailing ammo from the US to Norway?

Robin

13 May 2002, 10:50

<Mike M>

Post your address and I'll send a 22 PPC, 25-20, 7 BR, 22-250 AI, 257 Roberts, 257 AI & 7X57 AI.

13 May 2002, 18:08

<Paladin>

Robin, I just researched the postal regulations and mailing live ammo is verboten. Inert dummies are mailable, however.

And that remainds me: review of the Brownells catalog reveals a long list of factory-made, special DUMMY cartridges, which are sold to gunsmiths for safe function-testing of firearm feed mechanisms. I have some of these. They are darkened cases minus primers and flash holes, but with standard bullets. A collection of these would be a neat and uncommon thing to have, as well as an authentic representation of many different cartridges. Prices are reasonable, and they are mailable....

Hello Long Distance Operator, I see you are from McKinny,Tx. I tried to e-mail you but wouldn't go through. I live in Wichita Falls, and go down Hwy-380 to Texarkana to see my brother. Maybe we can meet some day...maybe even hunt together. Send me an "E" Lee

13 May 2002, 20:49

<Sniper06>

Hey, 460wby, I have 8X50 Lebel and some other oddities, drop me a line so I can know what you don't have, also have a couple .43 Spanish rounds, would send you one of them. Have a 7.62X45 Czech?? Let me know. Lee
Just now noticed you have Lebel, do you have the 235 Gr. Balle D AP Cupro-nickel jacketed Hotchkiss round? Can also send you one of the 24 rd-clips they were fired from in the MG.

Hello Pedestal.
Yes I would like to have those on my shelf, to look at and dream about.

Thank you guys, you'll get your names on the list when my collection expands!!!(please leave a note in the envelope, who it's from. So I can keep the list updated)
Any 8,59 Titan's out there, please????

Or any of those short's that I read so much about in US magazines.
(I'd love a 17 Hornady too.)
Sorry, I dont mean to be greedy. But do you ask for such a think in a gunshop around here, they'll look at you and wonder whitch planet you are from!!

<Paladin>

Something which worked for me years ago when I was getting started in collecting was to ask at the gunshops if they had a cigar-box or bin containing the odds and ends of cartridges which people traded in with guns.

Gosh! The stuff I took out of those bins and boxes were about as varied as you can imagine. It pays to ask.....

14 May 2002, 20:48

Thank you for your tip, Paladin.
I'll try this.

Hello to you to, Hillbilly Hunter.
