7.62x54R is gone!

[240 towles]

my friends, whether or not the embargo crisis is real, the panic buying is. That is what destroyed the .22 market. Buy now, buy alot. This will get ugly..... Those wonderful green tins are disappearing fast.

7.62x54R surplus

Wideners out of stock [match grade surplus in stock]
Aim surplus out of stock
ammo to go out of stock
sportsmans guide out of stock
SOG out of stock
ammunition depot out of stock
cheaper than dirt out of stock
JG sales out of stock

I managed to get a crate in at the last moment.

So are you trying to pour gasoline on the fire?

 

[Alphabrew]

I'm gonna be rich!!!!

 

[smokey]

I want a strike one pistol damnit!

How will a shortage of 7.62x54R affect their availability? Unless it's chambered in that caliber, in which case holy cow I want one too

 

[Alphabrew]

Didn't the $80 cans of 7.62x25 Milsurp crates dry up almost overnight? Now those cans go for $500 a pop.

If an actual sanction happens on Russian arms companies, that could interfere. Or if panic-buying extends to firearms.

It was more like a 2-3 month period. I don't think anyone really knows why that happened, though.

This whole situation might be a blessing in disguise if Wolf can locate another cheap producer of ammo to fill their needs. It's a shame that we can't get the Chinese ammo import ban lifted; we'd be swimming in commie calibers.

I think the 54r is out of stock because of hoarding, just like the 22lr. And like 22lr will be back, but at a higher price. A blind man should have saw this one coming.

That's why I reload.

You can add ammoman.com to your list.

I don't know about reloading, just asking, is reloadable 54r brass hard to come by?

Yes.. not too many brass case to be found.


Good thing I still have a tin or two.. but then again. Don't shoot much of 54rs.

 

[armed ferret]

Why would I panic buy ammo I don't have any firearms chambered for?

So much for stockpiling mosins because the ammo is dirt cheap and will always be available.

PPU and S&B both have reloadable brass 7.62x54R. Not cheap like Soviet surplus but not crazy expensive, either. I have a few boxen for my Czech sniper rifle.

My point.. spend money and buy brass ammo to get your reloadable brass.

Still plenty to be had for a decent price

[PJDiesel]

Ugh.... all those tins I sold at $100 a pop and less.
