Sure it will but that's not the point.

It's false labeling.You pay for a product and you expect to get that product.

It's like buying case of Heineken and finding out the bottles are filled with Lucky Lager.

canadaammo sometimes get's chinese, sfrc and westrifle sometimes get russian.  From what I understand most that has been coming to us came from Ukraine who has stopped selling off ammo for obvious reasons.

The russian supply may be pretty thin, last stuff I saw I thought was too pricey and a day or so later I went back to the site and it was sold out;  apparently everyone else thought it was a deal.

With merkel's condemnation plan for europe coming to fruition I personally suspect most country's in that neck of the woods are stocking up, not selling off.  Point being, If you see some russian I wouldn't hesitate.....

either that or start reloading........  poke, poke,  :P  If it's any consolation I've read the chinese is alright,  however I had some czech stuff and dirty doesn't begin to describe it.  Close to black powder in a semi dirty.

Speaking of ammo/supplies with the Cdn dollar set to tank anything coming out of the US is going to get much more expensive later this year.........just sayin'.

After Trump making America great again, any ammo from the states will be pricey, I think. Anyway sonny you might get the crew at P&D to give you  a in house credit or something. But until that blast away, and  pic's please.

I fired a few rounds down range and good grief is that Chinese ammo ever dirty.I couldn't go through a five round mag without having a failure to eject.Rifle was totally stripped down and cleaned before I took it out.
I'm thinking of ordering some brass cased ammo to try.

P&D won't do refunds on ammo but I will call them tomorrow,they were closed today.Oh well my Mosins will eat up this dirty stuff.Meanwhile the search is still on for Russian surplus.

Yeah I had that little shotty out and it was a blast altho I think I'm getting sensitive to recoil in my old age.. lol ;D

Birdshot was no problem but 00 buck was rocking me back pretty good.  :o

I have a pack of three inch slugs that I'll take out next time and I know they are going to rock my world in that little gun.But the gun worked flawlessly,action is smooth and she hits right at point of aim.Absolutely need hearing protection with that short barrel cause it's loud very very loud.

So I called P&D today and did some venting.They agreed with me that if they are selling Czech ammo then it darn well better be Czech and not Chinese.
They said that they will look into it...bla bla bla... thanks for your call....bla bla bla.....whatever. ::)

But see folks Wanstalls is selling the exact same ammo only they label it as Chinese contract ammo...good for them and boo to P&D.

P&D can be funny sometimes. I found them a hit and miss the times I have gone there. I have bought a few guns and such from them and it is not the same service each time. Now the best service I have ever had is Prophet River, they will get more of my money. If I was a betting man, I'd say your phone isn't going to ring any time soon sonny.

President Trump invited the Pope for lunch on his mega yacht, the Pope
accepted and during lunch, a puff of wind blew the Pontiff's
hat off, right into the water.

It floated off about 50 feet, then the wind died down and it just floated in place.

The crew and the secret service were scrambling to launch a boat to go get
it, when Trump waved them off, saying "Never mind, boys, I'll get it."

The Donald climbed over the side of the yacht, walked on the water to the hat,
picked it up, walked back on the water, climbed into the yacht, and handed the Pope his hat.

The crew was speechless. The security team and the Pope's entourage were speechless.

No one knew what to say, not even the Pope.

But that afternoon, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN reported:

"TRUMP CAN'T SWIM!"

LOL.....how true.  Add the CBC to that list too.

Did you hear about the CBC reporter who asked Trudeau a hard question? Neither have we!

What do you call a basement full of liberals? A whine cellar.

What do you get when you offer a liberal a penny for his thoughts? Change.

Wonder if Leaver is over stocked? 150 bucks buys a lot of fun ammo. And CA shows a reg. price of $599.99. Good price check, you could be a Walmart greeter when you retire sonny.

If I knew then, what I know now :-\. I would have pick up ton's of that stuff when I was 18. I remember there use to be barrels of those guns in our hardware store. My old man, who was in the war, laughed and told the  store owner that no one will buy that crap, throw it in the garbage.
