I agree. I generally assume this thread will be c&r specific items.

That’s what happened. On my phone it didn’t show the forum clearly and the title just looked like an all encompassing In Stock thread. Once I realized that, I apologized. Then someone said they wanted the updates so I did it again. Anyways, I won’t post those ammo updates here anymore. Sorry for the confusion.
There is an ammo spotting thread in the water cooler. Once you get 50 posts you can see the water cooler. I appreciate your updates. Thanks.
That was me on the updates, sorry if I touched off some discord in the forum, but right now, I've gotta keep ammo on hand to make any of these old things go *bang.*
On a digressive note, took my CZ50 to the range this weekend. Easily one of my favorite C&R Pistols to shoot. Easy recoil, very accurate, gets some looks at the bench. Sights can be a little difficult against a black bullseye, but that's to be expected. Only complaint I have is how far it chucks brass. I reload .32ACP because it can sometimes be hard to find at the LGS. I think I recovered about 8 of 20 that I put through it. Was using Geco FMJ and it ran just fine.
Sounds like mine. I started using a Caldwell brass catcher. The kind you can lay on the ground or setup on a tripod. Won’t use it all the time because it’s a bit finicky and I don’t always have the time to set it up. But it usually manages to catch about 75% of my pistol brass for guns that eject to the side. About 20% bounces back out on to the table or in front of the table. About 5% misses and heads to no-man’s land with maybe a couple of them found.

I made mine, back in the days before Calwell. But use it in the same way with a tripod. Got religion one busy range session when I couldn't setup on the right end of the line and the brass from my L1A1 forced neighbors beside me to hang a 4 x 6 piece of camo cloth to act as a brass block. Embarrassing on my part.
That's just part of the fun of shooting a FAL! Anyone next to you knows to give you more room in the future.
I was at Cresap one day and the guy to the right of me just happened to be firing a CETME. Everyone to our combined right would have had a very lousy day if there weren't already deflectors in place there.
Policing brass was quite funny. We'd just grab whatever 7.62 NATO we found out front of the benches or on the ground behind them and sort them by flute marks vs extractor marring.

Pretty much. They were ~$100-$300 lower for the RTI Ethiopians IIRC.

I could be convinced to sell my Carbines for those prices...and they're probably in better shape.
A little less than that. I thought those Ethiopian ones were going for $800. These are starting at basically $1300, right?
I could have sworn the Ethiopians ranged from $900 up to $1200, but I may be mis-remembering. I do know they jacked up the price as they sold them and found out that they were in rather good condition. A lot of guys on the FB collectors pages started griping about paying RTI over $1k for a beat up carbine because they had gotten to the bottom of the barrel.
