Just got my order delivered today. Ordered it Monday afternoon with basic shipping.

Golden Tiger .223 1,000rnd, $257.94 including shipping.

I've looked all over the web and that seemed a good deal.

Its a good round and if you need some ammo its fine. But its china ammo so it shouldn't cost that much. Someone is make 300% profit on that sale. I don't know if its Copes or China? But like I said its a good deal if you need or want the ammo.

It could have been repackaged. But I remember Golden Tiger or Chetah ammo as being Chinese. But I could be wrong... its bound to happen once in my life.[Tooth]

No your right, at one point GT was Chinese ammo. They probably just sold the rights to Russia or something like they did with the 75rd drum tooling.

The ammo looks like Wolf ammo repackaged in the Golden Tiger box. It won't win any beauty contests but it will go bang everytime.

Definately Russian.

I'll let you know how it works out next weekend. Didn't get the change to try it out today.

I got a case of GT from copes a few weeks ago. It's been good to go so far.

Finally managed to try it out. No problems at all so far, although the chamber etc looks pretty dirty. I can live with that though.
