your guy's thoughts on 7.62x39 prices?

its droped about 2 bucks a box here local to $6 .the fact i can get any at all now is a improvement. i bought a ar rifle about this time last yr because even then 223 was avalible.thought i should diversify. looking at a m4 carbine now. i like the acurracy of the ar platform now i have one

buy cheap, stack deep
up here in canuckistan we are paying 160-200ish per 1120 round of corrosive czech surplus

CTD has Brown Bear @ roughly .22 cents per round. that's the best I have seen it since the Obozothon began.

I was just wondering about future trends....

I think $225 is rock bottom. You are buying new ammo, not something laying around uselss for a decade or more.

Ammo, future, and military rifles. Here is a better deal, reusable cases. I keep a reloading reciepe around just incase the import stuff gets snuffed. Nice to keep a few hundred brass cases around too.

More than a few guys at Calverton fire brass 7.62x39, and virtually all don't care for the spent cases.

yeah, I save most of my brass, both 8mm (Mauser) and 7.62

Best I can tell from talking to my wholesalers is that it will probably drop back to about where it was before the rush. Ammo has been rising in price steadily over the last few years though.

thanks for the info/response Mike.

BTW, I am a methane refinery myself. I really doubt anyone can best my production.

I recently posted a link recently to one of the on-line ammo dealers that had Golden Tiger for $195, this is by far the best deal I've seen in over a year.
Last I checked they still had it, but I can't recall who the dealer was, lemme know if anyone's interested and I'll see if I can fish it up.

thanks mil dot. that is an excellent price. if you can find the link, I am sure some would find it uselfull.

I might not be able to best you, but I bet I could give you a good run for the money! :

Golden Tiger seems to vaporize in 5 seconds once the pallet touches the concrete.

Before the 2008 august mess, all metals were very highly priced. Lead brass, steel, and many other metals used for chemical industries like sodium, sulphur, and mercury. Much more consumer and industrial growth in the past 10 years, expecially in Asia. Competition for materials is high. Economy tanking will subside this for awhile.

However, industry builds when it's cheap. IT's cheap to build now, so expect iron, nickel, copper, and other metals to go right back up.

The scrap market has been very hot for the past few years.

Combine this with the devaluing dollar and the increased demand in arms in Asia and Africa, your ammo will be going up. Not to mention increase market in the US due to more shooters of military rifles.

thanks man!!

I got Tula back in the summer for $199 for 1000.

$6/box at Graf's for Uly. I can only do 100-200 rounds at a pop or I'd grab the 500 rnd Brown Bear for $110.

I got TCW for $200/1000 this past year as well, but that was a FTF exchange with someone I knew at my local range.

Thanks for that post. GT is great ammo. At that price if they keep shipping under $25 I would buy some. Thanks again,
