[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2039081, member: 25419"] Anyone remember Sportsman's Guide selling Nazi marked 8x56R ammo quite a few years ago? I think it went for about 5 bucks per 10 rounds on stripper clips. Had original box, etc....they used to sell a bunch of surplus stuff (Nazi, Commie, Swede, etc) - and then one day they started running a disclaimer next to Nazi stuff, saying they didn't want to offend anyone. (no disclaimer for Commie stuff, go figure) Kinda like Mitchell's Mausers removing eagle and swastikas from their K98 ads. Now the ads show an iron cross, because K98s have iron crosses on them, I suppose. Even model airplanes of ME-109s and Stukas have the swastika removed from the box art. (replaced with iron cross, again) Kinda reminds me of Harry Potter's Voldemort - ooh..don't speak his name...oh no!!!! [/QUOTE]
