x39...should I buy more...?

[boltonscouter]

Wish I'd bought crates of .303 when I could! History does seem to repeat itself!

It seems the Wolverine sale is finished, they quoted me $290 something shipped and taxes in.

If you're serious about stocking up at a good price, look into bulk deals. Last summer you could get 25 cases (M43) at 135 a case.

I bought a couple of cases of portugese surplus 308 for 300 each shipped, now folks are asking a dollar a round. There wasno indication that that was going to happen.

One case per rifle minimum. Stock up as much as you can. Remember when 7.62x51/.308 what cheap and wish you had bought more ?

It is still $160 plus taxes and shipping. It really depends on where you live.

 

[fat tony]

Not worth it, I'll check locally.

 

[Perple_Nerple]

I thought I had enough now you guys got me worried again dammit.

Go ahead and twist my rubber credit card haha

 

[fat tony]

I still have the email here somewhere - yes it works out. Hopefully I can get some from a local dealer for cheaper, the shipping kills it for me. too bad so sad.

^ road trip!

Are there any likely sources of x39 after the czech stuff dries up? There must be some other eastern block country that has a bunch in their basement.

If not could we get Rauch/NEA/Neit to make barrels and bolts for 5.45x39.5? Problem solving already!

There are only a few people who bring this stuff in....but Cabela's surplus ammo at $199 plus shipping to NS looks to be about $240.

Now that the Czech republic is part of NATO, they wont be making new stuff, and their old x39 stash will be sold off eventually.
Most of our cheap stuff is from Czech.

Where was that sale?

I must have missed it.

Getting any 5.45x39 into Canada would be another story. Im pretty sure it is not approved for import. Too bad though, its dirt cheap in the states.

 

[john@]

Not a sale, you have to ask what they charge for bulk orders. Also, you need to have a warehouse / loading dock as the shipping destination.

Oh, OK. Thanks!

 

[saskcop]

$135 a case? wow. Be fun trying to shoot 25 cases of the stuff.

Not true.

All the worlds ammunition facilities are for the most part busy making whatever they can x35, 5.56 etc. New production x39 flies off the production line every day.

Lots of 7.62x39 being produced all over the world, just look at what's available on US websites. But it's all more expensive than the surplus Czech stuff we've been enjoying, even if we could get Wolf, Golden Tiger, or Silver Bear into Canada...

Buying ammo is always smart, it seems to appreciate faster than most investments!
