$50 a round for original
I have two, not really want to sell them, HOWEVER, I have 7mm that is made by a guy named Mr Nambu, I bought a box when I had my 7mm Baby, would have to figure out if I still have the box. It did not work well for me in that baby. Ed |

Yes, I found Mr. Nambu thru the web and sent him and email about his 7mm Baby Nambu ammo. I have a reproduction Baby Nambu that functions like a real gun. Will load from magazine, eject bullet and strip down like real gun but will not fire. From factory it was supplied with 8/10 dummy rounds but they are no longer with gun. Little hesitant about putting live ammo in gun that will be slamming rounds around with no place for them to exit...

Ed, you have two 7mm Nambu ball rounds or dummies???
Original ball rounds usually go for $20-25 each, but original dummies are super rare, and they only exist in maybe 6-10 collections in the US. I got a good deal on mine for about $300-500. It's been a while, don't recall the exact number. |

At this price you get the gun for the price of the bullets:

I am not buying anything from them. Just posting the gun I purchased for less then half of what they are asking, This one shows the blanks that came with the gun but are no longer present. Seems to hold more interest to me then the "unique double barreled luger" that sold for more then 10 times what I paid for this Baby Nambu...Both will function abut the same!

Someone added a post to this thread and mentioned that he thought the cartridges could be reloaded, he also said that he would not have any dealing with a certain company that was mentioned, I come back to this post and find his comments have been removed. That certainly does not help me any. Why did he/someone remove information that I came back to retrieve? Did not even know that could be done.

Just say I get ahold of some 7mm Nambu cartridges, how would I make them inert and what tools would I need? I have never reloaded any ammo! Be very specific. Thank you, Hugh

Without the tools/press to remove the primers, I think the easiest way would be to get the bullet-removing hammer (about $15 at Midway, Brownell's, eBay, etc.) to extract the projectiles and powder from them, then fire off the rounds with just primers--one at a time, feeding by hand-- then re-seat the bullets by hand. About the best that can be accomplished without proper tooling/press, I think.

If you don't want a dent in the dummy cartridge primer, after pulling the bullet and dumping the powder a drop of light oil in the case will "kill" the primer and render it inert.

Thank you gentlemen, drop of oil eliminates the primer problem and Kinetic hammer ordered with "vise chuck" as the others started at .22 hornet size.

After you remove the bullet with the kinetic puller and dump the powder, the brass neck may still have tension since it was not fired/expanded. Just take your time putting the bullet back into the case neck so as not to damage/bend it. You may have to "bell" the case mouth a little to get the bullet to start into the brass case.
