Hey all. Was wondering where you get your deals on 762x39 and even 762x54R crates.

Looking for cheapest prices.

Thanks for the heads up. Just checked their site. $310 with free shipping. Going to be getting myself a crate.

I'm all for helping out, but these threads typically lead to sources drying up due to lurker traffic. I prefer pm'ing my sources. Just my opinion.

Maybe for some things but with a large part of the CGN folks opposed to his business due to past business conduct... not so much an issue I don't think

Yup, I'll pay an extra $40 to buy it locally. I may just have to go pick up a crate tomorrow

Cabelas usually. Wait for sales. Don't buy over 21 cents for corrosive. 17-21 cents per is the going "good deal" rate.

Lately it more over 20-23 cent around . Haven't see in a year or 2 under 19 cent

Thanks everyone for your input. Cabellas sounds like a good idea.

Avg price for surplus I've seen
PRC 1500rds 7.62z39 avg $300 +/-50 on sale maybe
Russian 1400 7.62x39 avg $325-369
Czech 1200 7.62x39 avg $319-400

PRC 880 eds 7.62x54r avg $300 to 360
That's all I see online lately by the crate, smaller pack of Czech 54r are avail repackaged from retailers.

All prices +taxes to the tyranny. Once upon a time they were $90 a crate but today our dollar is worth 30% what it was 6 yrs ago.

I buy my 7.62x39 at my local Canadian Tire for 299.99 for a crate of 1500
Chinese corrosive

Glad I didn't buy the same rounds in a box of 750 rounds for $219.99 on sale at Canadian Tire. I knew that was too high.

I miss the days not so long ago of $189/1200 Romanian.

 

[Liberty.357]

I recall $175 for 1200 or 1250 at cabelas sale 2 or 3 years back. 14 cents used to be my standard for 7.62 and 5 cents for .22 doesn't seem that long ago either.

 

[EL34/6L6]

Yeah, I had a crate of the Romanian surplus in BRASS! Think I paid $180 or something for 1200?

I think he sold out most of his ownership in Marstar years ago.

 

[Gun123]

I was not aware of any historical events that had taken place, but I have made purchases from Marstar this year, and have found it ships timely and responds to questions promptly.

 

[Gun123]

I have recently bought over 1,000 rounds of the non-corrosive Norinco and 750 rounds of Chinese surplus, from Canada Ammo and Tenda. They should last a while.
