    I will admit to being intrigued by the rifle. But . . . well . . . you know, a rifle like that without plausible ammunition availability is a . . boat oar. Or a club. or a pole for pole vaulting. Or a . . well you get the idea.
    Priv makes ammo as does Hornday. Priv also imports bullets and brass. Mine has never shot a round I didn't personally make. Well at least while I've owned it. They are a blast.

    My guess is these guns will not come with the enbloc clip, which you will need because the extractor does not like being single fed.
