    WTB: 8x56R Items

    I got an Steyr and need brass, a bullet sizer (found dies,unless you got some cheap,save me a trip back over there next week), front sight protector bayonet, sling pouches, any extras you may have around.

    If you don't have them you will need some magazines, as well.

    There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!

    They don’t use a magazine. You will need clips.

    I have 1 clip and a line on a guy that does gunshows that has some 30's production surplus on clips. I have the Lee 8x56 mould, haven't cast but I can lap if needed. Might need some gas checks.

    7.62x54R can be used in a pinch:

    Maybe easier to find that than 8x56R
