CanAm NON-CORROSIVE 7.62x39.....

[Blindeyes]

Yeah you can still buy 2400 rounds of corrosive for less than that.

 

[Hokus Grey]

Isn't the MFS cheaper?

That doesn't look like X39 to me.... Maybe the fact it isn't has something to do with the high price!

 

[gmj]

Years ago they sold Snake-Oil to fools that would buy it.

If you can find it cheaper with shipping, let me know.

 

[Ar180shooter]

Not really...

MFS 7.62x39 123gr FMJ, 1000 Rounds $469.95

MFS: 1000/$469.95 = $.47/round
Norc: 1200/$499.99 = $.42/round

wonder why marstar hasent got this stuff in

Because the Chinese are not stupid, they know the market price of ammo. The difference in cost between recent production non-corrosive and pre-90's corrosive is huge.

The landed costs drive the retail price, and in this case it's relatively high compared to the surplus corrosive ammo. If I was Chris, I'd tack on $50/case above my expected profit margin just because you know he's going to hear nothing but grief.

 

[MosinNagantM44]

Yes the MFS is cheaper
I paid 169.99+ tax for 500rds of MFS.

Excellent idea.

 

[Rocket Surgery]

So at that price you could pay someone $100.00 / hour to clean your gun after shooting 1000 rounds of corrosive ammo and be up about $200?

I'm pretty good at cleaning the 858 and SKS, will travel.

7.62x39?

Because SFRC is close to that price on their .223 MFS, but a case of 500 7.62x39 is close to $250.

Is the Norinco ammo on clips like the surplus?

Is the Norinco ammo on clips like the surplus?

Judging by the photos provided I am going to make an educated guess that they do not.

[Rocket Surgery]

wow, I'm speechless

EDIT: Oh ok, someone did post 7.62x39 and not 7.62x51nato pics, my bad.

 

[Pig4000]

 

[saskcop]

Ok tonight it started out at $599 per case, now it is down to $499. If the $599 was posted in error, I apologize for my griping.

 

[Rocket Surgery]

Yeah but it won't be around for long

 

[chanman]

Not particularly surprising for new ammo. Norinco would buy lead, copper, brass, and chemical precursors at the same global prices as any other ammo maker. Since the actual manufacturing is presumably mostly industrialized anyway, labour should make up only a tiny fraction of the cost per round.

Surplus is cheap because it's well... surplus - someone else paid for the materials and production years ago and don't want/need it any more so they sell it off for whatever they can get - it's expected to be expended in training or combat anyway.

So what are you suggesting, to just purchase surplus?
