The 7.62 would be good if it’s to NATO specs. The Cetme always needs more food.
I didn’t notice a price on the ATI website.
Imported ammo from state-owned factories? And here I thought the 7.62×39mm was a “commie round”…
Yes, but what is the retail price and is the quality any good?
Sol, I did not see a price either. They sell to dealers so they probably won’t publish it.
Turkey is NATOs second-largest military force (guess who’s first?). This stuff should be decent, and not too expensive, but I don’t want to be the first to try it as long as I can get XM193.
No spellcheck in Turkiye, obv. I seen that stuff on the shelves here in Santa Fe. I just wish they had it in 9 mm. Lots of 7.62 and .223.
Re: .223. You guys know what I meant. Long day, big martini.
I bought 500 rounds of this stuff in 7.62 for my DSA SA58. It’s been awesome–the gun loves it, no misfeeds whatsoever, and every round has been completely consistent. The packaging looks just like the image above, except each box of mine came 4 rows of 5 instead of the pictured 2 rows of 10.
The price was good and the ammo has been excellent. Two thumbs up to the Truks!
