$649 for a 384 round (in bandoleers and en bloc clips,) crate on their web site. The 192 round (in bandoleers,) tin for $334.99 is a better deal.

They've got some cool rifles in the C&R section.

? 10$ for one tin $20 ? more for two tins is better?

I wouldn’t buy a damn thing from RTI and in the C&R community they have a pretty bad reputation. “Royal Tiger Imports” used to be “InterOrdnance” back in the day. IO was famous for just sticking a C&R rifle you bought it in a cardboard box with no packing/wrapping thus letting it bounce around to your dealer until the barrel wound up sticking out the end of the box. I made the mistake of buying a 98K LSR repro sniper rifle from them (which was their top of the line 98k at the time which sold for $1200.00) and when it showed up (of course with no packing) the stock had a big 1/8” wide split at the tang. So, either they sent me a rifle with a split stock or their lack of properly packing the rifle caused the damage. I called them to complain and yeah, they would fix the rifle alright-if I sent it back to them at MY expense. Later IO started making AK’s which were absolute crap and unsafe to shoot. When Rob Ski (AK Operators Union) gave them an honest evaluation IO (Uli Weigand the current owner of Royal Tiger Imports) got a huge hissy fit. Finally IO got into trouble for incorrectly demilling AK parts kits and sending them to customers who then had ATF Agents show up on their doorstep.

But go ahead and check out Royal Tiger Imports reputation on the various gun boards. Of course the popular gun media like Ian “ Doesn’t My Hair Look Gorgeous” McCollum loves them but how they treat customers is another story:

Just think how far that ammo has traveled.
U.S. to Africa to Australia at least. Perhaps it may have stopped off in Korea as well.

Thanks for the input.

The ammo might be ok... or might not. Depends on how storage was.

I abree with above on rifle grading. While Ethiopian sourced stuff is pretty cool, in addition to the variety, they appear overly priced and a big gamble on received quality.
