Biden bans Russian ammo?

[Savage Jav]

You can sell me that IO whenever.

You should know better then to buy grenades online

So, does any US ammo mfgs. make 7.62 X 39? Or is the bulk of it from overseas?

I once had an SKS and started loading for it but tired of it very quickly (the rifle - not loading) and eventually traded it off.

Far as I know its all overseas. Hornady sells a 7.62X39 but its just repacked Russian ammo. Some really expensive winchester etc. There are a slew of other countries besides Russia selling 7.62x39 that just got a pay raise.

Federal used to make 7.62x39 brass. I have several hundred rounds for my Ruger M77. They can start up anytime they want.

 

[TTSX]

He'll ban the import of American ammo soon, too

 

[ZA_Survivalist]

anyone know where a guy can get some steel case .223?

Shooot PSA had 20rnds at 7.99 just this week before the bad news dropped.

WOW!!! Had to go and check the AK Operators Union, Local 47-74 Channel...

 

[Gbirk]

I'm not too worried about 7.62x39 as there are a lot of manufacturers for it, bit RIP my 5.45x39 Vepr 74.

Ukraine needs to step it up and start selling us some 7.62x39, most of the former european communist countries joined NATO a long time ago so they aren't using or producing 7.62x39, yes they had stock piles but they have been sending it through the US to conflicts we support. For example Croatia, the US negotiated a deal and Croatia sent 5000 tons of surplus arms and ammo to Syria through Jordan to supply John McCain's good rebels.

You'll find yourself disappointed an awful lot trying to rely on Ukraine for anything.

I agree, and AK's were fun when you could buy 500 rounds of wolf for $50, l guess those days are long gone

 

[Ttuck]

I'm not sure Ukraine would have the ability to sell a lot of ammo to us given their war with "separatists".

 

[papersoldier]

Well poo. I hope Fiocchi, S&B, and PPU can ramp up their production.

Maybe if we're "lucky" the same administration will lift the ammo import ban from China!

Where does Wolf imoort their ammo from..... might be bad news for affordable 6.5 Grendel

Bad news for any plinking ammo

 

[UnionMillsNW]

Bad news all around. Remember when Mosin's cost $85? Now they go for $300-400. It's due to restrictions in import. Sad to see ammo go the way of the dodo.

 

[Boboclown]

Will this kill the AK build market?

There's other countries making 7.62x39, its 5.45 that's done though.

True but I think its the mix of affordability and availability of the round. If its not available at a price it becomes more of a niche gun. It becomes more of a collatable rifle something more akin to an M1 Garand. People would be less likely to trick out an AK and run them if 300Blk is the same price. Look at how much less popular 5.56 AKs are then 7.62x39 its the bulk that makes it popular.

5.56 AKs have no common parts, mags are expensive, for a while they had a bad rep due to CAI slapping .223 on ak74 mags for 5.56 AKs.
