So long 7.62x39mm!

FOC still has some barnaul listed on their site.

Why would China hang on to theirs? They sell it because it's 50 or more years old.

If you're going to tell us you've sold out then that is fair enough but don't then act like you're in the Chinese command centre unless you've got tangible proof.

If China has any Taiwan grabbing urges I suspect they don't intend to rely on 50yr old secondary calibre ammo even in their worse case scenarios

Also wouldn't surprise me if they ship it to Russians

Because RUSSIA of all places can't make enough ammo for itself?

That and suddenly their 17 million AK-74s aren't enough and they need chunky 7.62x39

Lol no

Can someone posted here what would be the ballpark of what considered good deal for the bulk ammo for 22lr, 9mm, 45acp, 7.62/308 please?

 

[CZ Shooter]

CHINESE marked non corrosive is SOMETIMES but not always, maybe but may not be or could be. Do you feel LUCKY!

If you got ammo, why not just get a SKS?

Landsbrough auction on march 13/14 has SKS rifles, reloading dies, bullets Hornady, and brass in 7.62-39

So far the red and/or white Norinco stuff has been non-corrosive to me.
Maybe I just got lucky?

I've seen photos of Russian rear echelon troops carrying mosins, so you never know.

awesome news, less time cleaning up steel cases at the range from now on, or in the backcountry

I have a few hundred rounds. I may make a trade for some gas very soon.

Where did you see that?

I've seen a video of a Syrian jet fighter being shot down on 2014 claimed as a Russian fighter in 2022. As with all wars truth dies first.

Yes, there will be no more ammo coming from there or Russia. China will most likely hold onto theirs.

If you're going to tell us you've sold out then that is fair enough but don't then act like you're in the Chinese command centre unless you've got tangible proof.

Agreed. The OP seems a little dramatic, and OP please stick to the facts rather than speculating what China will or will not do...

You are over reacting men; a merchant gave us his opinion on the current ammo situation, and a lot of us do want to hear what they have to say.

Picked up 500 rounds of 223 Barnual on Tuesday from Tenda, checked online today and it's sold out

They only had one 500 case of 7.62x39 red box Norinco left this morning.

I'd be willing to pay more to get some made in Canada 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R, the problem I see is the supply can never meet the demand.

Looks like cabelas either sold out or scrapped their supply of Barnaul as its no longer listed on the website. I think its the latter because when I checked the other day they were selling 7.62x39 for $18 a box.

that was all gone yesterday (from online)
They still have Norinco white box and corrosive crates, but all at full price

I suspect it's bad PR for a big chain like Cabelas to have Barnaul on their website during Russia's invasion so they likely pulled the listing until things cool down.
