7.62x54r Surplus?

[Iron1386]

I noticed it's increasingly getting harder to find. I assume(could be way off) that the reason could be the conflicts in the middle east and ukraine are straining supply atm. As soon as those dwindle down a bit do you think we will see a rise in surplus back to the US?

Btw just basing this off a guess so if I'm totally off I'd happily be corrected.

Awhile back Obama banned the ammo importation. So supply in USA has been drying up.

Write to Trump!

It's partly the wars in the ME and Ukraine and the fact that much of the cold war stock have been dumped on the market. I suspect that IF the wars in the ME wound down we'd probably se more of that ammo on the market, but I doubt prices would go down to the levels they were at. I'm more peeved at the loss of 5.45x39.

Since Russia has a friend in the White House, I'm sure we'll be seeing $40 crates of 54r hitting the shores any day now.


Just kidding, but it seems that there has been a dry spell for most types of surplus ammo for quite a while now.

Most types of surplus are gone now. Non-Soviet/Russian anything is essentially gone now.

I've got a dozen crates I bought probably 5 years ago now, yet I still haven't gotten around to buying a mosin or any platform that accepts it. Go figure...

Buy American ammo

Why do you hate USA?

I only have abou 3,000 rounds left of heavy ball

54R dried up a little after 7.62x25 tokarev dried up. That stuff was so cheap, people were even chambering AR and 1911 to fire that stuff. Stalin era, high-velocity penetrating rounds.

[userformerlyknownasfitty]

I've heard that there's tons of tokarev rounds back in Russia as it was banned by name from import a while back. Unfortunately, we most likely won't be seeing any of it because trump has no control over the trade agreement. Also, retailers have seen what were willing to pay. The price won't ever dip down to what it once was again.

How I wish I was older and could have stacked deep.

Well... you've probably doubled your money anyhow, maybe better if it's the sho' nuff dinkum Russian silver tip.

You sir are a example of somebody with too much money

It was CHEAP a few years ago. I bought a few also. Wish I would of bought more!

[4EverPouring3WM]

I definitely don't have too much money, because I'm not willing to shell out 250 for a mosin lol. I turned them into a stairway up to my bed so my boxer can get up more easily in her old age ,until I come across a deal and start shooting it. 😂😂
