7.62x39

[camaroz2808]

Is it just me or is it impossible to get AK rounds locally? Just got an AK and been wanting to break it in.

Online price are rough. Might as well get brass than steel offerings.

Get brass and reload it. The days of cheap ammo are gone since we decided that the Russians are evil and Ukraine is full of boy scouts.

runnings has tula 7.62x39 in crawfordsville, half a pallet full but it is 14.99 a box?

Psa is running steel case 7.62 now. Haven't checked lately but I think it's around 45cpr

You can find it online for a decent price now and again. Well, decent for current prices, but too high in all reality.

I'd go brass case, but I probably would only reload if you get a good deal on components (unless you're just doing it for fun). At least that way if components drop later you've got the brass. Last I checked I could buy it for about the same price as loading it since I couldn't find any SPP brass. Now if you were to find SPP brass, buy that up for sure!

We just have to accept the fact that the good old days are over. AK ammo is just going to end up close to regular rifle ammo barring someone dropping all the Russian sanctions, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Ammo is only going to get harder to find and more expensive from here on out. Buy all you can afford if you find some, pay with cash.

Reloading sounds good. The reloading powder is going up, and up in price and availability is going to dry up. FJB is going to make it impossible for US to buy powder. My advice is to buy all the ammo you can find and pay with cash.

 

[Magyars]

Guess this is due to the blocking of Russion imports?

Out of curiosity, do you think St. Trump should have prioritized cheap ammo over sanctioning Russia and their interference with our sovereignty?

The sanctions target seven Russian oligarchs and the 12 companies they own or control, 17 senior Russian government officials, and a state-owned Russian weapons trading company and a bank it owns.

CONFRONTING RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE UNITED STATES: President Trump has taken action to call out and confront Russian efforts to undermine the United States.

• The Administration attributed the worldwide NotPetya cyber-attack to the Russian military in February 2018.
• In September 2017, the Administration banned the use of Kaspersky Labs software on U.S. Government computers due to Kaspersky ties to Russian intelligence.
• On March 15, 2017, the Administration charged three Russians for the 2014 Yahoo hack, including two officers of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB).
• The Trump Administration has maintained the closure of two Russian compounds and the expulsion of 35 diplomats in response to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
• In March 2018, President Trump expelled 12 Russian intelligence officers from Russian Mission to the United Nations in New York pursuant to the UN Headquarters Agreement, for abusing their privilege of residence.
• In 2017, the Trump Administration established the Election Infrastructure Government and Sector Coordinating Councils to increase coordination among government and private sector providers of voting and registration systems.
  • During the 2017 elections, the Trump Administration provided onsite cybersecurity support to States, which have the responsibility to ensure that their electoral infrastructure is secure, and will continue to provide this assistance in 2018.

RESPONDING TO RUSSIAN AGGRESSION: Russia has led a sustained global campaign to undermine the sovereignty and security of the United States and our allies.

• Russia interfered in Western democratic elections in 2016 and 2017.
• In March 2018, President Trump ordered the expulsion of 48 Russian intelligence officers from the United States and ordered the closure of the Russian consulate in Seattle.
  • This action was taken in coordination with American allies around the world in response to Russia’s use of a military-grade chemical weapon in the United Kingdom.
• Russia continues to exacerbate the seven-year Syrian civil war by propping up the brutal Assad regime, which continues to indiscriminately bomb innocent Syrians, including civilian women and children, in a ceasefire zone Russia itself had declared.
  • Russia’s protection has given the Syrian regime the space to continually use chemical weapons and commit other atrocities against its people without accountability.
• For more than a decade, Russia has assassinated opponents across the world, including its most recent attempt to kill a private citizen in the United Kingdom with a military-grade nerve agent.
• Russia launched a cyber-attack against Estonia in 2007; invaded Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014; attempted to annex Crimea in 2014; and supported a coup attempt in Montenegro in 2016.
• Russia is eroding arms control security by violating the INF Treaty and touting new strategic nuclear weapons designed to circumvent existing agreements.
• Russia sells and provides weapons system to destabilizing countries such as Iran and Syria.

I rolled through @Brian's Surplus store today, he's stocked up with lots of hard to gets for some. Head over to Greentown.

God, I hope not. But he may have prevented the whole ****** mess to begin with.

Maybe. I'm not crying over a weakened Russia, though, either way. Maybe if I hadn't traded out of my last AK years ago I'd shed a small tear, though...

I'm still sitting on a case a chi com from the early 90's and a case of rusky stuff. A lifetime of ammo for me. Three trips to the cabin for my son.

I've seen plenty of Tula on shelves but you can get brass case online for cheaper than the stores have Tula. The days of $5 boxes of Tula left somewhere around Obama, $10 boxes can still be found though.

I prefer Barnaul if shooting steel https://www.shoot-straight.com/product/barnaul-rifle-cartridges-7-62x39-fmj/ was my source on Barnaul but prices have crept up and they are rarely in stock now.
