The Egyptian 8mm ammo was $80/1000 I recall the price It was around 1990-91. - I got t from Century when Hakims were under $100 for fix-em-uppers. I got one with it that had a muzzle break with a big gash in it - other than that it was a great rifle. I had a welder freind fix the break turned it on a lather and looked fine. I think I sold it for $350 thinking that was a good profit - Now I see they are close to $1k!.
