Krinkovliu 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Fellow Siaga owners: As of this morning, Monday, AIM Surplus still has some South African 308 battle packs available at $39.95 plus shipping. I purchased three battle packs before leaving for work. I would rather have my Saiga brothers get this ammo then the HK and FAL crowd. www.aimsurplus.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would rather have my Saiga brothers get this ammo then the HK and FAL crowd. www.aimsurplus.com LOL!! Guess they finally got it on the web site, I heard about it Friday (from one of those CETME/HK guys) and phoned in... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krinkovliu 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 The SA 308 ammo is not listed on the AIM web site. I heard about it on Friday on another board; thought it might be sold out by now. You have to call to make the buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Thanks for the heads-up, Krinkovliu! Got another case (whew!) but no more metal cans (those were nice!) they now come in a "plastic tub". Been frantically searching for .308 lately.....

glocklon 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Cool I live only 40 minutes from AIM, I am inbound to buy some AMMO in person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
O.S.O.K. 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Outstanding! Thank you man! I just called and they are still available - got 4 packs - all I can afford right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wjm 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Their supply just got a bit lower... Did you buy all of it? It's no longer on the website. At least I can't find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lazlong 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) I got upset with the SA .308 when I tried to reload the brass. I didn't think to look for the berdan primers before breaking my decapping pin. Should have been upset with myself for not checking, but you know how it is. NATO ammo shouldn't be berdan primed. I keep the SA surplus as a reserve, and continue firing my own handloads. Edited January 23, 2007 by lazlong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Battlepacks still available as of this afternoon. I suspect they still have a shitload of 'em since you can purchase up to 14 packs per order! And if you do you got more money than in my sick piggy bank........

O.S.O.K. 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) I just read on another board that these battle packs are 120 rounds - that true? I thought they were 200? $6.7/20 isn't too bad, but not nearly as good as $4... Plus I'd get 480 rounds instead of 800.... ??? ETA - just looked at an old AIM catalog on hand - they are shown as 140 rounds. I'm sure this is the same - they were $28 at the time... Edited January 23, 2007 by O.S.O.K.

Pointer 21 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 They were selling for $20-$22 at the gun shows around here about 2 years ago,guess supply and demand has raised it a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

macbeau 902 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Of course, they had to come up with this stuff while I am still recovering from Christmas (ugh!)... Where did they come up with this batch? Is this some they had overlooked and found lying around in the warehouse since they supposedly "ran out" about 4 months ago, or are they starting to get SA back in stock...? It sound like they have significant, albeit small, lot of this stuff to sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GALILAR308 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I called this afternoon and they said none was available. Is there a specific person to ask for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you must ask for "Ralph" and he will want to know the passphrase which is "for the love of Mike". Not really, you are screwed. Edited January 25, 2007 by O.S.O.K.

GALILAR308 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I am not really screwed. I just wanted to buy some ammo. I still have 4 full cases of F4 that I bought when it was $150 a case and a case of RG. So I have enough for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't mean you were totally screwed, just screwed out of this deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
