Metallwerk Elisenhuette GmbH (MEN) 5.56 M193 - No Longer Being Imported??

[kestrel452]

Well boys, it looks like they’ve stopped importing MEN M193 ammo, and the residual supply has dried up...

Can you order it from overseas without getting wrecked on shipping or customs?

Is there a comparable substitute in quality and accuracy that’s readily available? CBC owns MEN, so maybe the CBC gold box and/or Magtech green box branded stuff is just as good? Is there even any difference between the CBC and Magtech branded M193?

Sad days...the Federal M193 I bought never looked as nice and shiny as what MEN puts out.

In the past, it comes and goes in availability. Though I've never seen BOTH 5.56 and 9mm tapped out.

I’ve inquired with several retailers of MEN 5.56 and they all said its importation has been discontinued indefinitely.

I still have a little over 1000 rounds, guess I’ll just keep it in ammo cans. It could be because all the ammo is being used by the Bundeswehr.

The .308 is still imported?

What benefit does it provide in ammo cans?

Nope it’s collectable now lol.

Long term storage to prevent moisture as long as the seals are in good shape.

1000rds wouldn't be around long enough to gather dust, much less need protected storage. Especially MEN.
