[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 1605011, member: 6777"] The US quit selling surplus pistol ammo in 68, but were allowed to continue selling rifle ammo to the public thru the DCM. Since they couldn't sell it, they quit making it and gave/sold the stocks to other countries and of course 50 years of the US military using it up its pretty much gone. One of the rules for bringing in US surplus from say Korea or Israel is that if we gave it to them its still considered US property and they won't let it in. If they can follow the paper trail and prove the US sold it to the foreign country the ownership has changed hands and it can be re-imported. Sometimes very difficult and too expensive to follow the trail so it gets sold to some 4th world country like Somalia or Chad. [/QUOTE]
