Xavier (I hope I spelled it right) I have heard rumors that in N.Y. there is no shortage of ammo cal. 545 at all. You should look at yellow.com and find a gun store there and see if they have any and if they are willing to ship. It shouldnt cost as much there espically if you order in bulk they will cut you a good deal for 1k or even 2k.
I tried that a bit today, Called New York, and was able find fourtyone boxes of Wolf @ $3. per. I forget the exact total ?$147,? shpg. included.
What ever it is, it is for now. :lol: "New York" :grin: "it is, what it is." :grin:
I found five boxes of 50, RWS for $11.00 per box. The total was $65. shpd. I think this was a good deal on ammo that normally sells for $30. to $40. The guy sold his 74, and did not need the ammo anymore.
1. I hope you are right.
2. Let me tell you about Santa, and the Easter Bunny....
I would dearly like to be WRONG about all this- but as time goes buy, I strongly suspect that the reason we have no AK ammo is actually because the US Government made yet another under the table deal with the Russians to keep it out. Similar to Clinton's "No US aid Dollars if you export these rifles to the US" attrocity.
Why? Simple money math... I've heard all ABOUT bullets for Iraq, etc... but follow the cash - regardless of HOW many wars are running (that the Russians have no stake in) - where can they make the most money? Sub Saharin Africa? Or in the US?
No - I smell US interference. The kind you can't complain about, because they won't admit to doing it....
Cheaper Than Dirt is in stock and shipping 7.62x39mm.
The Sportsmans Guide has been filling backorders left and right.
It is here, but web rumors mean sellers jack the price up to high heaven and get away with it. Who will demand lower costs when we all think it has been banned?
Cabelas is $125 or so a case and if you order HP it is $112 a case (or was a week ago).
well based on the way buy it now works, anyone that bid over is an idiot.. All you have to do is hit the buy it now button and it'll end the auction at the buy it now price.. Bought a couple things there that way when I saw the bid heading close to the buy it now price..
My personal take on the shortages of mil surp ammo is this..
Assault weapons are back in flavor for over a year now, most popular calibers primarily .223, 7.62x39 and 5.45.39.. Considering the massive influx of sales that utilize these calibers in the last year, local dealers have been pulling from their suppliers faster, major wholesalers are pulling from makers/importers faster and the makers/manufacturers just started realizing that the quantity they were making 6 months ago for delivery now isn't enough.. I know many will say that assault weapons weren't out of flavor just ban models available, but remember you guys hang out and are around this activity, how many people do you know not in the sport that once they realized the ban was no longer in effect ran out to buy 1 or more assault rifles because """ONLY NOW DID THEY THINK THEY WERE LEGAL"""
I believe you're correct. This first bunch might dissapear due to panic buying, but once it rolls in on the 2nd wave everyone will be pretty much stocked and it'll start sitting on the shelves waiting for us.
Hate to be a rumor munger, but I understand some people with Wolf back orders on 5.45x39 are getting their credit cards billed and being sent shipping dates from some dealers..
