Well Norinco is Chinese ammo, there was something political back when the AK`s and SKS`s were stopped if I remember correctly and the cases of ammo seemed to disappear. There used to be ex military Chinese ammo in tins as well at about 14 cents a shot while the Norinco was $25 per 100 rds...….. Yes I`m showing my age, but now I`m getting low on the Norinco stuff.

I have had trouble obtaining Katod Gen3 night vision tubes because they are Russian made and the sanctions have caused issues. My supplier tells me the high spec ones they can source but the mid range stuff is sporadic.
