Is 7.62x39 drying up?

[Beater]

yes its dry around here not much left in the stores

Almost full box of Barnaul for sale (plus stripper clips!) in Hamilton on EE! I have enough, but a local nutter should pick it up!

It looks like Barnaul is back in many stores across the country! The boxes that I got were manufactured in 2016 so it's fairly new batch. Also, boxes now have UN markings on them and they are labeled in English and Russian (English and French previously). Someone probably found a creative way to import them into the country and work around those international trade restrictions. Finally I can enjoy shooting my SVT!

SVT 40..........7.62x54R I know Barnaul has that too.

I have an SKS as well, that's probably more relevant to the topic's title I was just having way more hard time getting non-corrosive x54R..

Saw a pallet of the corrosive 1500 round crates in Cabela’s yesterday.

Sponers are JUST getting tones in. Resonable price to.

When i first started here i paid $340 a crate. Price has not gone up to much honestly.

Also, at this point in life. Its not worth my time to clean corrosive. I rather spend abit more on non corrosive. I wish msf starting making it.

Quick Google search turns up quite a few suppliers in ontario. Not sure if I can mention them

 

[aka_ryan]

Lots of it in Ontario where I live (near Ottawa).

That's convenient

There is a fair amount of it around - but the prices have gotten just stupid. It wasn't all that long ago that Ukrainian 7.62x39 (Dominion) could be had for $199/1000 - I would know as I bought 3 or 4 cases. Now, a case of 1000 Barnaul will cost you almost $500 with taxes and shipping (if Canpar doesn't deliver it to your neighbor three blocks away). Price gouging for the stuff. Cheaper to shoot 5.56 these days.

Do people actually buy anything from that overpriced warehouse? lol

I get my 7.62x39 on the EE. There's guys sitting on hundreds of crates from a ways back. I haggle down to 18 cents a round regularly.
It's all over the place and still dirt cheap by comparison to any other intermediate caliber in bulk.
