Where do you guys get surplus ammo from in NOVA. Im asking becasue you have to be 21 to get rifle ammo online.

Not surplus, but I do tend to find some decent deals at Cabelas.com

According to their website you only have to be 18 for rifle calibers. I have a feeling there are other online retailers that are the same, requiring only 18 for rifle calibers.

If you can't find what you want online, gun shows tend to be the best bet for bulk purchases of surplus ammo. Just make sure you plan on buying a lot of ammo, since it will cost you like $12 bucks for the Nations Gun Show.

great site but, i am not 21.

All ammunition buyers must:

•Be at least 21 years of age
•Submit a copy of a government issued identification that shows you are at least 21 years of age. (More on this below)•Never have been convicted of a felony or crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year
•Never been adjudicated as mentally defective or been committed to a mental institution

•Never have renounced his or her US citizenship
•Have not been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence;
•Never have been subject to a court order that restrains the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or child

How about theSportsmansGuide.com or Cheaperthandirt.com?

I believe they both sell those sealed tins of surplus 440 or 880 rounds of 7.62x54r. I know I recently bought 2 of those 440 tins from one of those retailers. I can't remember which one. Neither of them have ever asked me to prove my age for an ammunition purchase. If it is legal for you to purchase and own rifle ammunition in Va, go ahead and place an order with one of them.
