Best price for 7.62x54r ?

[sweetbeard]

So I just got a beautiful new to me rifle.. But where is the best place to get mosin ammo?

Online or portland local is fine by me..

Ammoman seems like it is kind of spendy $200 for 880 rds.



Or if anyone wants to trade some x54r for some x39 we could probably work something out..

I was just flipping through the latest edition of ShotGun News,looks like a lot of good deals in there.

 

[sweetbeard]

I should go pick one of those up.... I had one in my hands this morning but didn't feel like shelling out the $4..

maybe I will take a note pad to Barnes and Noble like all those hippies in there.

 

[RockKrawler]

I gots one in my hands right now,i can look up some prices if you like.

If you are skimming thru and see some websites with good deal I would appreciate a heads up!

THX man

 

[RockKrawler]

AIM 440 for 79.95 bulgarian
J&G bulgarian 79.90 440
77.48 for 880 if you buy 2 tins
R Guns 2 tins 170.00 russian
Samco out of stock

 

[sweetbeard]

Ok so they are all pretty much the same price as AIM.. OK that is what I was scared of..

THX for the heads up, not as cheap as I was hoping.

 

[RockKrawler]

Almost everyone has a bulk price,usually starts at 2 tins,not much savings but a little.
I live real close to Keiths,i am going to stop by and see what he has and how much $$$.

 

[sweetbeard]

:buttrock: Maybe we should put together a group buy or something..

 

[RockKrawler]

I would except for 1 small detail...i don't own anything that shoots that caliber.
May have to look into rectifying that

 

[sweetbeard]

JOEY where you at ? SGTKashim ?

Lets do this dance LOL

 

[friskydingo]

in on a group buy if its non corrosive

 

[SgtKashim]

Gunbroker had some non-corrosive surplus stuff for $6 a box. I have a small stash of that...
You do have to be careful with mosin ammo - a lot of the stuff uses corrosive primers. Gotta pour simple green or ammonia or something like that down the barrel after shooting, or you risk your barrel dissolving. Normal cleaning solvent won't cut it. Hunting ammo is all, to use a technical term, more expensive than a platinum gas can. $50 a box for some nice match grade soft points at Joes.

 

[sweetbeard]

I was just thinking about ammo cans from ammo man.. Guess I will just buy case for $200

440 rds for plinking and an extra can for SHTF... hen I will have a can of x54r and x39



just expensive is all

If you're interested in a group buy, then get it from Century International. If you buy over $500, shipping is free. That's a big deal if you look at shipping costs for ammo. Their 7.62x54R is as low as 18 cents per round and 20 cents per round for good stuff.

I'm in for some 7.62x54R, but they have other stuff too. Take a look:

[sweetbeard]

Well that is a good deal if we can get 3-4 people who want a whole case.. Any takers...

 

[Ballistic]

I'm good for a case. $160.

 

[sweetbeard]

I'm good for a case. $160.

Me 2... 2 more people and we will be all set.

 

[Ballistic]

Well, i'm not going to wait much longer. If you buy ammo from Century, shipping is only 12.50 for purchases over $75 (or so). Century has some really good milsurp ammo available and i don't want to wait until it's gone. I'll give this a couple more days, then i'm buying on my own.

 

[sweetbeard]

Oh well that is cheap.. maybe we should just do that..

I was at aloha surplus today and actually bought 10rds at 50 cents apiece to get my total to $15 so I could use my debit card.... no I feel so dirty, what a ripoff!
