Is it my imagination or is the 7.62x39 ammo getting harder to find. I see that LeBarons doesn't carry any and I have not seen reasonably priced non-corrosive ammo out there. Winchester makes a white box .223 do they make a white box 7.62x39? I am starting to get a little apprehensive here!
 
nope, not your imagination , i havent been able to find north american made 7.62x39 at a few gun store here in vancouver either .
 
Begining to make me re-think this SKS issue. Great price but I want a blaster for kicks. The mini might be an option again.

if you live in vancouver , i will buy it off you at your cost (provided its the first shipment from SIR). i could always use another .:D

Sooooo, In other words we should start hoarding?

said like a true capitalist .:D
 
This sucks, are you saying that 7.62X39 can never be exported from the states? Is that why I have never seen a box of regular winchester 7.62X39? What a croc,

What about chinese ammo? European?
They list 7.62X39 UMC at wholesale sports online catalogue, they have to stock it in order for them to list it.
 
Was in Lever Arms a couple of weeks ago. They have a container in transit, but there are problems with container size and routing. It will get here but likely more expensive than before.

If you don't get this already buy as much as you can when its cheap. I still have some 8mm bought years ago when it was about $60 for a crate of 800. Try finding any now!
 
It seems a new shipment of 7.62x39 comes in about twice a year. I suggest you buy at least one case each shipment because it always sells out before the next shipment arrives. All things considered, the corrosive ammo is still great value.
 
Marstar posted that they have 7.62x39 enroute. John posted to say they are taking orders if your inclined to 'reserve' some. I think this was in one of his replies on another thread last week. Best to phone them.
 
maybe i'm just lucky.... but i've had no issues locating cases lots when i need them.

U.S. commercial 7.62x39 is now a thing of the past as it is BANNED for export out of the u.s. So that means good bye to remington, federal, american eagle, winchester...... ect. (only in the popular military cartridges though)

BUT we still have privi partizan, sellier &belliot and I beleive Igman as far as non surplus ammo goes...... and for hunting purposes I've found the Privi and Igman to be superb
 
PLEASE DO NOT PHONE ME, Although I always enjoy speaking with you folks we are VERY busy these days, two key people on vacation (well deserved).

SIMPLY send in your order by e mail, fax or via our toll free line.... We will not charge your card until we are ready to ship....

YES we recenly purchased enough 7.62x39 to last a while.... a couple of containers are enroute, more coming every few weeks over the summer, we will "top up" your local dealers over the next couple of months.

This does NOT mean you can count on it forever, the supply is not unlimited....
JOHN
