Russian snipers buying up 338 Lapua in USA

[The_Crazys]

Maybe they should have had the snipers smuggle it...

 

[jkor]

when did we declare war on Russia?

 

[titsonritz]

I read Biden banned the export of rifle scopes to Russia
they will be smuggling in those next

But he gives that sh!t and more away for free to terrorists like the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

"Konoshchenok was stopped at the Estonian border with 35 different types of semiconductors…, as well as thousands of U.S.-made 6.5mm bullets, which are used in military sniper rifles."

On November 24, 2022, Konoshchenok was again stopped attempting to cross into Russia with approximately twenty cases containing thousands of U.S.-origin bullets, including tactical rounds and .338 military sniper rounds. Konoshchenok discussed "fabricating" business records with Livbubblegums to conceal the ammunition shipments, on one occasion describing them as "auto parts."

when did we declare war on Russia?

when I reported to NATO in 1970, I was told the reason I was there is we were at WAR with Russia

I didn't spend weeks on end in that bomb shelter on Ramstein because the accommodations were good

Exactly what we should have done to the weapons left in Afghanistan. Just a few 300blk here and there hidden in magazines.

Maybe we can do the same to resume shipments to the us of cheap wolf and Tula and just have them shipped as "car parts"

I always wonder about that sort of thing. Stuff in containers going entirely unchecked from China including god knows what.

Reminds me of that movie War Dogs with Jonah Hill. He bypassed some import law by repackaging (If I recall right) Russian ammo into some other countries label and selling it to the US military. I want to say it was loosely based on real events.

Interesting, in all fairness that's the actual DOJ press release from Merrick Garland's staff in Brooklyn.

Hopefully the actual indictment does not muddle "bullet" with "round", but I'm not blowing $3.00 to check on PACER.

Guessing full match-grade rounds were being imported for 338 though, since the Novosibirsk factory already produces 338 Lapua bullets.

the enemy is within.

the enemy is within the mind of Putin.

It's time for the Russian people to rise up and get rid of this guy.

I'm pretty sure they really meant "bullets". As in just the projectile. In 6.5mm.

I'm betting they got it at Honest Akbar's Army Surplus store in Kabul.

 

[Stomper]

it was .336 Lapua

That doesn't exist. .338 Lapua Magnum, sure

.336, .337, .338….. ya know, whatever it takes!
