7.62x54r surplus restock?

I bought some steel cased S&B when I bought my SVT a few years ago when you could get them at any shop for $360, almost every shot failed to extract and the ones that didn't, failed to feed. Chalked it up to case swell/sloppy chamber and haven't tried feeding it anything since, but after reading this - I may have to take it out and try it again with different ammo.

For the extracting problem try bumping your gas setting to the next higher notch,that should help.

even on full. had to palm-heel the handle to extract.

Not extremely concerned, it makes a nice wall hanger.

marstar sell some but it chiness and bulleye london have some too and SFRC if you realy whant some if you what some from TRade EX well wait until they get some

I like Trade EX pricing with the ammo, as well as their shipping policy on these. others charge a lot on shipping, sometimes make it not worth buying .....But thanks!

glad I stocked up on surplus a few years ago. not many stores have it any more. when they do it is crazy money from what it used to be. I remember when you could get 1100 round crates of 7.62x39 with the ammo on stripper clips for 199.00.
