You're probably right about insiders only knowing. I read from Orest's own post in the CMP forum a few months ago that they had a line on a shipment, but lost it apparently to an importer. It means they weren't army surplus, or they were and someone tipped the loaned country that they could make money by selling them instead of returning them. Simply put, loose lips can scotch a deal, so most likely any info about imports either guns or ammo may be kept under wraps by the sellers involved.
