How much to ship in montreal ?
With all the chinese and russian rifles being dumped in Canada, the demand for 7.62x39 ammo will only drive up the price. Very simple economics.
Supply and demand....
My chinese sks will find a home at the bottom of a lake before I spend too much on ammo.... I have way better quality rifles to feed.
Theyre only fun when they are cheap to shoot, I hope the retailers of these rifles understand that?.
They will have to walk a fine line with the ammo prices to keep these "not far from junk" rifles afloat.

To drive prices down we need new manufacturers to get into the business to create some competition.
In the US its a monopoly industry (winchester, remington, etc)
In Canada, we lost all our manufactures to the USA, and rest went under because of politics.
Unfortunately the Cold War supply in Russia and the old USSR nations will dry up soon which prices will hike up.

I dont think you quite understand the circus show that will emerge with the 7.62x39 surplus ammo... it is the last frontier of the surplus world and when a demand is created by flooding the market with cheap guns, the retailers think they can get fat and rich by jacking prices on the cheap ammo.
I dont think its gonna work cause the rifles accuracy lacks in every way, so lets keep it fun, and fun to shoot. That means cheap ammo.... just my humble opinion.
If u dont like the price, dont buy it. What are u going to ##### about when the surplus supply dries up? This may happen quicker than you think if the powers to be get their way, and halt the import/sale of any ammo not headstamped with caliber such as commercial is...

What about when the US/NATO changes calibers and drops the 5.56. Where are those billions of rounds going? Making Toyota Priuses?
Sorry to post in your section JR but I would like to make a point....dealers are the end business in the ammo transaction and yes we have some imput on the final price but we are only reacting tho what importers/distributors are setting their wholesale prices at. Surplus ammo is just that, when there is lots and small demand the price is low. When the supply starts to run down or related events like currency exchange and shipping costs impact what the importes have to pay. It is not a simple descision like having fixed costs from year to year and then deciding what to mark up the product at. Three years from now these prices may seem like an incredible bargain , time will tell. Phil.

I bought that same case last June from TSE for $199.00 So I don't think they raised the price just to gouge customers.
So, like Our Dollar being at a 3 year HIGH...........still.

Against the US dollar. Doesn't do much for us when buying from former Eastern Bloc countries.
The Euro has bottomed out to.
Our dollar is hot.
Our dollar is strong...does not matter what country it is.
Take our dollar and switch it to american..you get more...then give it to the eastern block countries
CZK / CDN beginning of 2009 it was approx. 60 cents CDN for one CZK
June of 2010 it was 49 cents CDN....back up to 54 cents CDN currently.
So if you bought something in the CZ Republic in the summer of 2010, it would have been 20% less.

People will always complain about something.All I know is that even at 230 a case it is still a good deal for me.It is far cheaper than any of my other rifles(not counting .22)
I have noticed the price of this ammo has gone up everywhere not just at The Edge.That is because the price of getting the ammo for us has increased. So maybe we should be great full that retailers spend hours and hours trying to source and acquire the ammo we need. Instead of complaining that we can't get it for free.
"Without ammo...it's just a stick"
