In for info

My local gunstore said expect shortages of 762 because of russia but i thought surplus .556 came from china

Your only asking about Norc milsurp I assume. And yes the company shipping it from China won't handle it anymore.

Old news. New carrier was found or they negotiated.

To me, the obvious fix would be,to get a different company to handle it.There has to be competition out there.

There'll be no shortage of x39 either. I'm pretty sure Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Albania and several other former Warsaw Pact countries are still sitting on huge stockpiles, along with other former Soviet Republics. There are literally trillions of rounds of that stuff out there.

there is no shortage, tons of people have bought more than what they need so now you just need to wait a bit, it'll be here shortly

How much does a person need? Maybe one crate is more than someone "needs" and everyone is buying too much.

no shortage of x39 that's for sure, I have an email from a client that has 3,billion rounds that they are able to sell all sitting waiting for for one with a cheque book.

 

[saskcop]
