Need bulk 7.62x39 non-corrosive

Also looking for reasonably priced NC.

@NSS - $1 per round is still expensive for FMJ 7.62x39 in bulk. I realize yours is “worth that” based on MSRP but that stuff sells for more than brass cased 5.56.

There hasn't been reasonably priced nc 7.62x39 ever since the start of 2018 when a ban was put in place on Russian ammo imports, no more cheap tula, MFS, or barnaul for 40 cents a round. You can reload brass cases but it would still be around 60 cents each plus labour and all the reloading equipment. Just shoot corrosive.

Yeah it is expensive. I am selling at a loss of a few hundred bucks, so its cheap by current standards. Good luck in your search!
 
I guess I’m out of touch. I do shoot corrosive but was looking for some NC to save myself some cleaning work. But not for $1 a round - I’ll just shoot 5.56 instead at that point.

NSS, if you end up having a hard time selling let me know and we may be able to work something out, provided you’ll ship.
 
I hear you, I bought and sold a type 81 as it was not my thing, so got stuck with a bunch of ammo I don’t need. And I am willing to eat the shipping as well if nowone local bites soon.

Wish I bought more Barnaul a few years back aha 40 cents for nice .223 SP sounds pretty good right about now

Yep, I hear you. If I could go back in time there’s a lot of things I would have bought more of. I just hope Barnaul comes back after the war.
 
I bought a lot last year and the year before, this year I focused on private deals in my area and was lucky as well. If you come into the sports at a time when supply is low and prices are high, just only buy what you really need. Demand in Canada for brass cased 7.62x39 is not very high because we have lots of surplus ammo. There is really no reason, not to shoot surplus (corrosive) ammo. Just run hot water through and maybe add some ballistol. Only the primer is corrosive. Taking a SKS or type 81 apart takes how long?
 
Found one place that has this NC 7.62x39, unfortunately, they cannot ship, both Canada Post and UPS rejected the request. If any of you are local in Preeceville, you can go to Preeceville Archery Products, they still have some left.
 
If I buy ammo from a private source and ask to ship to BC, what are the chances that Canada Post will open and seize the package?

It’s illegal and the sender can get in big trouble. Take your chances if you want, even if you insure it you won’t get your money back if it’s seized. If you asked the sender to do this, you’ll probably be talking to the RCMP too, not just them…

Does it still seem worth it to save a few bucks?

Got it, but how come gun shops can ship ammo?

They use the carriers that offer the service knowingly what they have in their trucks. UPS is one of them, CAN PAR was also in the game, but I think they stopped.

Other than the risk of stuff being seized and you getting in trouble, what about if they handle it wrong as they don't know they are handling ammunition and someone gets hurt or worst.

Definitely not worth trying.

Most of them use UPS who allows ammo shipping. You can look up on Google “can I ship ammo in Canada using *fill in the blank*?” And it will be in the search results whether you can or not.

Can post ships firearms but never ammo. Couriers often refuse to ship firearms but might be willing to ship ammo. Search it up or phone the courier first.

I guess gun shops should bear the responsibility if they use carriers' services.

Called UPS, they said NO. But they ship ammo for gun shops. Guess they must have special deals.
