Coming AK Ammo Shortage

[Shami-Amourae]

From the other forum (http://www.truthinourtime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20056):

I would HIGHLY suggest any of you who have AKs, Mosins, or other Russian firearms to ACT RIGHT NOW to get more ammunition for them. Zero the Fail's "sanctions" are imminent, and could likely include a complete ban on importation or even sale of Russian-manufactured goods.

Avoid the rush (and higher prices) by acting NOW.


Pretty much official now...

sgammo has gone through 45 - 1000 rnd cases of Golden Tiger 7.62x39 in the last 1/2 hour. This is getting Sandy Hook crazy.

and they are all out of spam cans of 54r

[osoab]

They were down to 24 - 1000 rnd cases of the Golden Tiger 5 minutes ago. Now back up to 97 cases. Must have found some in the back.

[osoab]

now up to 145 cases of the 1000 rnd Golden Tiger. They were down to 73 cases. UPS must of shown up.

Humm,

One reason to use the cartage/ammo that the nation you live in. On another front, look where the ammo is produced if what you are shooting is an import rifle. Always best to use the calibers and ammo of the nation you live in, because it will be local and not imported.

Bar none!

I've noticed they never post their actual inventory during 'non-crisis' times, I think they keep the numbers low to motivate buyers as in, "Look! They're running low, better grab some now before they run out!" since they keep adjusting what they show in stock. However with the run I wouldn't bet on them having it in stock in the near future.

The word is getting out to cause a panic. Say goodbye to russian ammo for quite a while.

*Breaking: Ammo Rush Begins Again As Russia Halts Soviet Ammunition Exports to the US!
March 5, 2014 By The Doc

In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy and fears of new control legislation from the Obama administration, extreme shortages of ammunition have been sustained over the past 12-24 months, as panicked Americans have raided the shelves of Cabelas and gun-shows across the country buying literally every round they can get their hands on.
Combined with multi-billion round purchases from gov’t 3 letter acronyms such as the DHS and FBI, (including even the USPS and IRS), the shortages have continued even as manufacturers have responded by drastically increasing production.
Over the past 6-12 months, shortages of some calibers such as 7.62 used in the popular AK-47 semi-automatic weapon have been alleviated somewhat via massive imports of Russian production.
That is about to change.

I almost pulled the trigger on 500rnds of 7.62x39 last week when I bought 1000rnds of 7.62x51 Lake City. Both were on sale and I was kicking myself. I stopped by my favorite pawn shop today and found 440rnds of NOS Norinco to add to the stash so I'm feeling a little better now.

sgammo is out of the 1000 rnds of Golden Tiger. They were sitting at 85 cases or so this morning and about 40 cases early this afternoon.

What are your prices?

I paid about .80/rnd for some LC at a gun show not too long ago and picked up some some Wolf 7.62x39 for about .27/rnd at the same table.

[milehi]

The .51 was $300 plus $37 for shipping for 500 rds. The .39 was $7 per 20 round box no tax paying with cash

Looks like shooters will have to buy ammo through gunbroker.com, for twice the price!

It's too bad about all this, if it weren't for Israel, we'd probably be allies.

Cabelas has Herter's 762.39 for $.28 - $.30 a round
Bass Pro has Tula for $.26 a round

[milehi]

Picked up another 640 rnds off cheaper than dirt (i know i know) last night for just under two hundo.

[midnight rambler]

Ammoseek is still showing plenty of 7.62x39 available for as low as .23 cents/round.

[midnight rambler]

Still plenty of AK ammo available at ammoseek.

[old steel]

Well Obama shut the last lead smelter late last year.
