the last time i bought ammo was from http://www.dansammo.com/ammo.asp

and the only reason I bought it it was cheaper than the reload componits
and it was reloadable

Thanks, the only thing i dislike about these guns is the scarcity of ammo, its out there, but cant run down to the local walmart and grab a few boxes, and all these mom and pop gun stores charge an arm and a leg for a box, it was a gift from a uncle, love it to death, i did alot of research when i was told i was getting it, and one thing i disagree with everone is the so called "kick", read a lot of people said it kicked hard, to me it does not, hardly at all to me, the da trigger is stiff, ive read stuff on how to fix, it, but not to savvy on the mechanical aspects of the gun, have you made this change on yours?

[normsutton]

yes I put the 18# spring in all 4 of mine
I did think the recoll is that bad ether but all i shoot is 95 grn. bullets in it

and don't like shooting steel bullets

The spring that is in the fix is a 16 # and i think its to light thats why i put 18# spring in mine

Wolff has the springs, too. I believe they are Walther PPKs. They fit and it really works. Even without a spring change the SA is really light.

Anyone ever try that JinAn 9x18 ammo from china? It comes in a blue box. I found some on GunBroker.com and was wondering if it was any good.

[nbender]

I like the Chinese ammo. Jing An (blue box) or Norinco (green box) it's the same stuff. The seller on Gunbroker is in VA - good guy, prompt shipper. The boxes are old and the Chinese made cheap carboard/paper boxes anyway so they always come a little roughed up but the ammo is fine.

[barnett3006]

good to know. I knew the Norinco stuff was good, I didnt know the JinAn was the same. Thanks

[nbender]

And he can't spell. It's Jing An, not JinAn. He was calling it "Mokarov" ammo for a while and you couldn't bring it up on a search for "Makarov". I wrote him an email a couple weeks ago and he changed the spelling. He has a ton of this stuff and has been selling it for ever. I wrote him once and asked if he had any 9x18 ammo boxes. He said sure, just pay shipping, but I sent him some extra $ for the effort. Don't waste your time pursuing Chines ammo boxes! They ain't Winchester quality. I don't think you could find a poorer-made wooden box.
