Non magnetic 7.62x39

[roger1022]

Did a search and couldn't find much.

Most of the outdoor ranges do not allow magnetic ammo (Burro) and I don't got the $$$ for gun range memberships yet. All I want to do is have some fun at the monthly CalGuns shoots.

As far as non magnetic 7.62x39 am I limited to the Yugo surplus and new production ammo?

Yugo is hard to find the local gun show people want big bucks for it. For commercial ammo, PPU seems to be easy to find, although it's way more expensive (shipping). Any other ideas? Sure hope I didn't buy an expensive club/wall hanger, since I can't shoot it.

Yeah, that caliber is not ideal for most SoCal ranges.

You are pretty much limited in Ca for 7.62x39.I know Have not shot my rifles in years.I have about 5 cases of the bad stuff.We are talking Norinco ammo.

Reload, or yugo, or there was a place selling some re-manuf. mil ammo with non mag bullets fwiw, but I'm sure it's sold out.

I think there was wolf? that was non mag years ago

That's all I've ever heard of except for $$$ stuff.

Good luck, I'm in the same boat!

There seems to be a decent amount of Romanian 7.62X39 around. It IS corrosive, so plan on cleaning your rifle very soon after firing. I think it is labeled as M79. I shoot it at Burro on a regular basis and when I set up at the rifle range, I usually walk over to the RSO and show him what I am shooting.

I also found some WOLF that had a broad yellow stripe that was non-magnetic AND no corrosive, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Now that's something to look into.

I've heard about that and from what I know, its not made anymore.

Fiocchi makes some nice non-corrosive brass 7.62x39 (shoots great). Ammunitiontogo.com has some in stock, not terribly cheap in relation to steel-cased, but at least you can send something downrange at the SoCal indoor ranges.

Fiocchi and Winchester white box 7.62x39 both nonmagnetic, noncorrosive.
~ 2x the $ of cheap russian.

HTH

sgammo has that de milled Russian surplus, but its out of stock at the moment

33 crates of the Romanian 7.62 found on this one site. YET they don't ship to the u.s..........Canadians.......

[kygen]

Canadians seemingly have all the Romanian

Yeah, 7.62x39 in So Cal pretty much limits you to Prvi Partizan, Fiocchi, or Yugo surplus. Wolf Gold used to make some IIRC but it is no longer on their production list.

Grafs has some Fiocchi in stock $12.19 for 20 rounds - shipping is included. Quantity is limited to 10 boxes.

Thanks for the info everyone. Had a feeling my options were limited.

Unfortunately I live within the Hell A (LA) city limits so Grafs won't ship anything here.

So far, looks like I'm gonna shoot my AR and someone else's firearms next get together.
