My friend said he has found them once or twice at gun shows, generally paying around $50 US for a box of 20. It's not something I could walk into Cabela's, Bass Pro, or an average gun store and buy.
My brother gave me nearly 60 rounds, so that should last me the rest of my life, if I only continue to shoot a few rounds every few years for sentimental reasons.
I haven't hunted in over thirty years. However, our state's conservation department is practically begging hunters to get out and take wild hog and coyote, both of which are overrunning the state, the hogs causing millions of dollars in crop damage. I might be coaxed out of retirement if I feel I'm doing some good for the environment, in which case this Arisaka may see more use than it has in many years.
As an FYI, I edited my other post to include a different video, one that explains the anti-aircraft sights in greater detail.
