As I have said before, you'll find the sales of the past are gone the way of the high dollar and $100 oil. Our goals now are to keep regular prices as low as we can as margins have tightened.

Have faith, the dollar and oil is on a slow but steady rebound, let's hope for $.80 by year end!

I've got no complaints with my 7.62x39 NEA....it's a workhorse,fed it 1k of Dominion hollow point plus another 1400 rounds of corrosive surplus,it's feeding and cycling like a charm with only spraying it down with g96 cleaner and g96 coating after use.id imagine after heavy use of corrosive the gas tube might be a bit gross,but it's still working fine.

I did use a wolf extra power hammer spring because I did get a few light strikes with the factory spring.no issues since.

If the price is as good as he says, and I believe it will be, I will have to assemble my first AR, in x39!! Where are the best prices on uppers/lowers and gear for these! Should be fun!

I recognized some time ago if I want really decent amount of trigger practice, this x39 caliber is a must. And so I got Windham Weaponry AR-15 in Russian caliber and I can actually afford to spend thousands of rounds a year without going broke. I actually am looking at longetivity of internal parts of my AR now, something I wouldn't be able to worry about with 5.56 caliber.

Me too! It's the cost of .223 ammo and the lack of cheap non-corrosive 7.62x39 that has kept me out of the AR platform.

Don't fear the corrosive ammo. First, an AR is extremely easy to clean, second, the barrels are chrome lined co even if you don't clean up right after shooting, you won't have a problem if you clean it within a day or so and if you don't have time to clean up internals right away, just dump it all into a bucket of oil or diesel fuel, let it sit in there and then clean it when convenient to you, believe me, a BCG sitting in a bath of something greasy(liquid) won't rust.

Is yours NEA also or did you put it together from other parts?

No offence guys, but I think it is very rude to ask for a sale price when we all know CanAm's prices are pretty much the best around especially with free shipping. When was the last time you tried to ship a 50lb box of lead? It is not cheap.

Asking them to have a "celebration sale" or 2 for 1 etc - you are making yourself look like an idiot, or at the very least it shows a lack of empathy. These guys are running a business for the purpose of earning a living. Their business model seems to be based on low margin at high volume which we all love but for heaven's sake please spare us all from your pathetic pleas for below cost ammo.

here's a thought: If you think you can do better, go ahead and start your own business and we'll all laugh at you when you go bankrupt.

With a handle like CostcoSamples, are you saying you’re not looking to save money?

I plan on buying the ammo when it comes in, the only question now is how much can I afford?

“low margin at high volume”, wouldn’t a sale to move even more volume be in keeping with that business model?

ETA is 2-3 months.

You are all going to be very pleased with what we have sourced.

Non-corrosive, brand new production, steel lacquered case, clean burning, 50/50 lead/steel projectile, very accurate, and very affordable.

I suggest you don't stock up too much on anything out there right now. You would be paying way too much compared to what we are going to have.

Save your pennies, we are going to have a virtuously endless supply very soon.

Yup I love that stuff and I am sending my order in whenever you have some.
 
Corrosive ls easy to clean With ballistol ( that can ammo sells) lts even easier / safer. Almost 0 difference. 1/10 ratio and u neutralized salts. l then use CLP (from Canammo ) lol.

On a side note. l love the 7.62 norinco but lt doesn't lle my bolt action ( that l also bought at can ammo ) . lts almost as lf the casing are to rough or just barley outta spec. Same for dominion .

But the VZ eats lt all up 100%

Water is free ;)

Finish with regular oil. Done.
 
Doesn't matter much what you use, in battle they took a wizz down the barrel and tube then a few drops of oil, done!
Now, back to the ammo and acquiring a x39 AR-15!!! ;)
 
Corrosive is fine if you only shoot it once or twice a week. If you are like me and your SKS gets shot over 200 days a year...Washing it gets a bit tiresome. The LCW/DA ammo was great, clean and non corrosive, so cleaning wasn't an issue until well over 1000 rounds. :)

I'll gladly pay a little more to not have to clean so much!

If you can get your hands on a big jug of USGI WW2 bore cleaner it's exactly what you need. I picked up a few 1 gallon jugs back when it was cheap and plentiful.

The stuff washes the corrosive salts off wonderfully (it's water based) and leaves a thin coat of oil when it evaporates. The oil is only good for a couple of days but if you are shooting it that often, it's perfect for your needs.

That's impressive, was that with an SKS or other? If an SKS how many rounds do you put through it before she wears out?
