Do any of you have any concerns of future sanctions against Russia affecting the supply of affordable 7.62x39, 5.45x39, or 7.62x54R? Would companies in Serbia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, or other countries be able to fill the importation void?

Doubt anything will come out of the Ukraine anytime soon.  Serbia, Romania, etc..currently make ammo but would need time to produce on the scale of what Russia currently makes.

Ukraine is a little preoccupied at the moment.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Russian ammo manufacturers added. I'm sure US manufacturers are lobbing for it to prop up prices as prices and consumption slump under the current administration.  Sanctions would be the easiest way to ensure another panic run.

This has always been the Achilles Heal of all AK/Com Bloc weapons, the cheap ammo can be cut off essentially at any time. If you are committed to the AK for your SHTF rifle etc.....buy a lifetime supply and stack it away. That is the only way to be secure from supply interruptions due to political pressures.

You just reminded me to hit up the SGAmmo.com site again for Golden Tiger.

Remember  a couple of months ago Tula was mentioned in the sanctions but it was the guns....not the ammo.

They just are coming up right now, it's an expansion of the ones from a month ago or so.

NPO High Precision Systems JSC is on the list of sanctioned defense companies.

Tula Cartridge Plant is listed here as one of their holdings. Third up from the bottom of the list.
