I really liked the 7.62x39 and 7.62x54 Barnaul ammo
it was only a matter of time until we would not get any more
Wished I would have got more of it that’s for sure, seen some for sale but it was 25 bucks a box :(
 
The war in Ukraine ???

You mean the Mission in Ukraine right ?

Or is this term only good to avoid using the word war on US/NATO started wars.

If others start a war its a war.

If we start a war its a mission.

Got it.
 
Like it or hate it, that's for you to decide. We have removed the feature on the website that forces you to buy what you don't want to buy :)

With all things including shipping jumping 40-80%, this is just the way things are going.

We are about 40% sold out of the Barnaul, at this rate the majority of this will be gone in a week.
 
So now that Barnaul is off the menu, what's the next cheapest budget brand for .223, 9mm, .7.62x39 other than Norinco?

There are huge supply issues, cheapest may not be the question to ask.

We had bought a tractor recently. The cheaper option had several conditions. No delivery time, no firm price (was given an aprox price) and the bucket may not come when the tractor does (may have to sit for 4-6 months waiting for the bucket). We went for the expensive option that was delivered in a few days with the bucket and a price that would not change.
 
Alot of the 7.62x39 is already out of Ukraine and Russia. There are trillions of rounds floating around so the current high prices for corrosive won’t increase much more in my opinion. There is no way Zaire or Angola are paying 500 dollars per crate for chi com ammo. Maybe 75 dollars a case.

5.45x39 has been a replacement caliber for most of the soviet blocs since the early 80s.

I am still shooting the Ukrainian 7.62x39 that Canada Ammo brought in many moons ago. I guess in that regard I am supporting Ukraine :)

That ammo was made at the Lugansk Cartridge Works which is now the Lugansk Peoples Republic.
At one point I think they got the plant up and running at least on a small scale but I wouldn't be surprised if it was destroyed by the Ukrainian regime before the Russian intervention. I read somewhere it was, it was good ammo, at least on par with Barnaul.
 
Either the whole gun community has read this thread or something major happened in the news today, because in the last 3 hours all but 10% of our shipment has sold.

There is just a couple of cases of each that are still showing. Please do not PM asking us when we will get more, as this it it.
 
This is not good...the most affected will be the T97 operators, since there is no good cheap steel cased 5.56 alternative on the market right now (not that I'm aware off).

I've got a few boxes left (like 2 or 3) but I'm saving it because its Hollow Point. Not that I'd ever use it on big game (they come apart quite violently according to the water jugs I shot with it), but they'd probably be good coyote medicine...

I was told that Russians took all the equipment to Russia. No idea if thats true mind you.

More like Bankrupt Russia can't afford more wars of aggression on their neighbors.
