Seems like every supplier that I've checked over the past month or two only has dwindling stock with little to no re-stock of brands that they run out of.  Does it have to do with the dock strikes?  Or is this typical where all the Russian and other eastern block produced ammo arrives in waves and we are just on a the down slope?  I cant imagine the current conflicts in the middle east and Ukraine have anything to do with it since most of those military forces have switched to 5.45.

They are waiting for the next panic before they "find" more to sell...

There are several factors involved. First, there isn't any more 7.62x39 being produced for commercial sale in Ukraine. Second, the M855 mini panic had folks snatching up 7.62x39 as well, so that put a strain on the supply system. Third, I would bet that shipments only come in every so often. Maybe Obama has the customs folks slowing down approval for importation to piss off the Russians. The Russians could also be selling more to other countries or using it to shoot Ukrainians. SGammo has the WOLF tins for a decent price.

Thanks for the reply, do you are anyone know who the company is that is the importer of the russian produced ammo?  Im assuming there are only one or two before they hit the distributors.

Are prices likely to go up very much?

Bryan, I picked up a box of Wolf 5.45 when you had them for $100 per 500 count a couple months ago. Any chance of more 5.45 coming in along with the 7.62?
