If you want the genuine military issue, mil-spec paracord, you can try contacting manufacturers like Gladding or Atlanco, but they usually only sell to venders/distributors and in bulk.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535211091219608418.post-18284371692979995752011-12-08T22:44:25.025-08:002011-12-08T22:44:25.025-08:00Can you point me to a site where i can buy 550 mil...Can you point me to a site where i can buy 550 mil-spec paracord?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535211091219608418.post-45400471164159465932009-12-31T23:38:15.768-08:002009-12-31T23:38:15.768-08:00Thanks a lot..tht was a good tips ever i have..
