Ukraine Crises Could Cut Russian Ammo Imports

[Melnic]

I hope Putin liberates us and brings with him thousands of Russian laminate SKS rifles

I hope Jeb Bush liberates us, not Putin. He's way more skilled at international politics than Bock-Obama or Shrillery Clinton but I sure don't want him as my leader.

I guess I'm surprised "let no crisis go to waste" policy has not started the import bans yet. Russia will sell to Ukraine and Ukraine will sell to us. Doesn't that happen right now?

That's not the real concern. Since one of the very few things that the U.S. imports from Russia* is ammunition and surplus firearms, this would be a perfect opportunity for Biden to push a "token ban" on Russian imports that not only would make it look like the White House is doing something, but also limit the ammo available for those evil guns that some Americans have.

(*Unlike much of Europe, which imports huge amounts of natural gas.)

I would guess it would end up like Chinese solar panels, rebranded through another Country or shipped in components and reassembled. Where there is money people will find a way.

But I agree with you, cant trust bobo and joe

CTD sold pmags cheap for years. They only raised the price when federal legislation to ban them loomed, and everyone and their brother wanted to buy them. Doctors charge a lot of money too, and at least no one dies when they can't pay CTDs bill.

Holy sh*t! A CTD defender. Few and far between.

Well if there is big spike in Russian ammo,I will have to unload some of the stockpile,after all I am a capatilist:-)

Not among those who think with logic and not emotion

I saw this on facebook from NOVA Firearms:

All the Russian Ammo and Imports Dried Up Overnight!!! All the distributors are nearly sold out of Russian made ammo (wolf, bear, 7.62x39, x54R, etc) as most of that ammo is made in the Ukraine. There is still US made 7.62x39 ammo available, but its twice the cost. The cheaper ammo is now even harder to find! Firearm "Distributors" are saying the foreign ammo and AK style rifle imports are likely to see a price increase in the very near future. One distributor, last night, sold everyone one of their 10,000 cases of the 7.62x39 Russian made ammo and they have no expectation of getting restocked anytime soon! So if you find a good deal anywhere on the net (as I only have 4 cases left), you need to buy it while it's still cheap- if you are an AK kinda guy or gal! ~all the best, Nova Firearms

Oh, JFC. Now I had to go and but another couple hundred rounds of x54r and x39. Thanks

WOW! Sure glad someone put a warning out here earlier.........

I probably should mention that NOVA Firearms is a small store with high prices. I have seen this retailer overhype panic before (sold PMags for insane prices during the panic etc.) and I have not seen any shortage of 7.62x39 from online vendors yet. It is possible he is trying to unload the RPKs and AKs he has in stock...

But I did order 1080 rounds this morning....

 

[Jradack]

Last week sgammo had a lot of x39 in stock. Now they have next to nothing...... Any excuse I can use to buy ammo I will use. The wife understands by now.

Interesting article. It doesn't take any real shortage to create panic buying, just a perception of a potential problem......

I have been watching 7.62X39 ammo prices on www.gunbot.net for the last week. They were showing Wolf on Monday as low as $0.21 a round. By mid week the cheapest available was $0.23 a round and today it is $0.24.

I ordered 1000 rounds last month so I have enough to last me a while.

 

[Sirex]

I just checked and Sportsmans Guide has tons of 7.62x39 FWIW. I just bought 50,000 rounds to mark up 500% when it chokes out. (j/k)

 

[Jradack]

I like sportsmansguide, but they can be a few dollars more and they take awhile to ship. That being said I recently ordered 500rds of wolf x39 from them. I few months back I tried to buy a spam can from cheaper than dirt but they won't ship to md.

 

[smoothebore]

I just ordered 500 rnds from CTD Tuesday morning. It delivered Friday afternoon.

Anybody who's paying $1,000 for a case of 7.62x39 is just plain stupid.

Cuz I'll sell you a case for $999.
