I don’t know if I can trust psa made 7.62x39.
I’m sitting on about 16 cans of Barnaul 840rd spam cans. I’d rather buy commercial spec stuff from Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, etc. |

They said they were making steel cased AK ammo last year, OP. We have been waiting patiently.
I don't expect cheap ass Russian prices, but if it's cheaper than brass case, it'll be worth the wait. |

Would rather see more investment in brass cased ammo production, but cool I guess. Steel cased ammo sucks for a number of reasons, an extra 0.10 a round is worth going to brass.

Steel cased ammo sucks for a number of reasons, an extra 0.10 a round is worth going to brass. I would assume getting the production set up is the first step and most people want cheaper steel cased 7.62x39. Once they are running production they can probably offer brass cases as well. The number one issue with 7.62x39 is inconsistent bullet weight and powder quantity due to crap QC. I assume PSA will do much better here. |

Per Jamin, the initial steel case plans are 7.62x39, 7.62x54r, and 5.45x39 They have 2 flavors of 7.62x39 on the website, listed out of stock. Usually it appears on the website a few weeks before it is for sale. |

Then they can knock off their own line and call it Silver Fox, making it rip off of Silver Bear. lol I just loved those little boxes they came in. The low budget graphics were cool in their own right. |

Looking forward to it but I am not sure how “cheap” it will be priced.
The cheap stuff was coming from countries where a Dollar was still a big deal, made in factories that were paid for long ago by a government that no longer exists. |

I wanna be excited but it will never be cheap, compared to what it was four or so years ago when my LGS had it for $185/k. I'd bet it will still be around .39-.45 cent a round. Especially if it's marked AAC. I hope I'm wrong.
