 and  and in one chartYes, ammo is harder to get, and has gotten more expensive through some soruces. But it is still availble. Your best bet is to order it from Sportsmans Guide, which still has reasonable prices and allows for backorders. I order a case of 1,000 rds from them for around $105 shipped and it took about 6 weeks to get it. In contrast, Ammoman had it in stock so I bought a case of 1,000 the same day for $140 shipped. I now have 1900 rounds in stock as I fired off about 100 when the first case showed up. The government let out several contracts to suppply to Iraqi army with fresh 7.62x39, and that is taking a lot of the supply away fro mthe civvy market, although it still dribbles in. The frustrating part of that equation is the Iraqi army has MILLIONS of rounds of ammo stored, but Uncle Sam is destroying it. The second part I can confirm, I have a firend who is an Captain in the engineers who was involved with a lot of that on his last tour in the Gulf. Buy it or backorder it when it is cheap. The only thing you can count on with ammunition is that it gets more expensive as time goes on.

gubbament, you gotta luv 'em. Kinda like the vids I saw of them running over captured AKs (most milled) with a tank. They could of saved money and deployed those instead of pumping money into eastern block countries to buy their cold war left overs. I'm sure it had to do with, "you back us and we'll buy your stuff" kinda deal. Stupid none the less. It's like me putting my ford explorer in a car crusher, then going to the ford dealership and buying the same year and model again.

I think that someone should start the rumor that it's a plot by third world counties and as soon as they can build enough boats they are going to start the invaison. No house should be with out 1000 rounds of back up ammo for time like these

I just order 3k for $257 shipped to my house! I love free shipping when renewing my membership!
Although, I hate the $5 per case they charge you for bulk. So, It's not 100% free shipping.

yeah, it's not a hell of a deal, but convenient if you only keep a few hundred rounds at a time.  every time I get a few hundred dollars that I can spend on 3K rounds of 7.62 or 5.45, it always winds up going towards another rifle.

I went nuts ordering ammo this month:
250 rds. of 5.7 500 rds. of 9mm 980 rds. of .308 2000 rds. of 7.62X39 HP 2000 rds. of 5.45X39 FMJ 3000 rds. of 7.62X39 FMJ I did sell one of my Krebs KTRs and have another one for sale. But then again I did buy 2 Yugo M70 underfolders-doh! |

I was there, early, and they specifically told us NOT to destroy it, so it could be reissued. Your friend isn't following orders, unless they are destroying Iraqi manufactured ammo, which is crap, unserviceable, not reliable, and needs to be destroyed. |

The war on Iraq has been over almost 3 years now. And now their sending all the Wolf to Iraq? Because lets face it its the cheap ammo that were mostly all crying about being short supplied. And with good reason cause it saves use money to buy now guns.
But the true cause is the AWB sunset and the tremendous demand for what prbably has been a very static unchanging stock of 7.62 up to Sept 14, 2004. How soon do you thing the suppliers started stocking extra AK ammo? I doubt before or right after the sunset. The increased demand and available supply was bound to come to this. Im really surprise we got 2 years almost before the curve crashed. It will come back up That being said Im sitting comfortable on a fully 1K+ loaded 7.62 and another case to sit on and the same goes for .223. Now for pistol ammo..

What the heck am I doing wrong?
I ordered 2k from SG back in late December and it is still on back order PLUS it cost me $219.42? How can you guys be getting this stuff now and for around $160? I'm now a SG member and will save a little on future purchases. What gives? Maybe I ought to cancel my order and re-order? |

Two years ago when i got my Ak I immediately went to the first local gun show and snatched up ammo, stock kit, scope etc. Back then a crate of 1k rounds was like 95 dollars. I went tlast year and the cheapest ammo was 125. THis weekend im goin back home to greensboro for the big semi annual gunshow and i pray its not much more then last year lol. Anyways, had a question. I shoot out in Tenn. at a public range. Now the only guns i see at this place are .22s and powder rifles. Everytime i go these people just give me dirty stares and sometimes even yell at me about my weapon choice. I found it funny at first but now its kinda irritating. Last time i went i was called a terrorist and they threatened to take my gun and break it. Well needless to say i never shoot alone, and I told them i like to see them try and take my gun. Any of you know what i should do about the situation? I cant shoot anywhere else within 150miles or so i checked so im kinda stuck shooting there. Any advice is good advice

You need to network with a bunch of other people off of gun forms and bring a few other guys with you with lots of AKs, ARs, HKs, etc. and make a show of force of how normal it is to have all of this fun stuff. |

Heh, my friends and I got lectured at Benchrest in St. Louis for shooting too fast and making too much noise with our toys, even though our range safety was excellent and all our rounds were controlled, aimed shots. I retorted, "sorry we are so loud, I didn't mean to make you soil your Depends." Try it, the older hunter types REALLY hate that line. |

Everybody needs to use the $79 case link and not the higher one and then put in the discount code. Club members get another discount on top of all that. I'm waiting on 5,000 rds. of 7.62 and 2,000 rds. of 5.45 right now. SG sent me 500 rds. of 9mm the other day (it was in stock and shipped quickly). Aim just brought me 980 rds. of 308 which SG was out of.

I had ordered 1K for $79 but when I got my backorder notice it had the updated or higher price on it. When you got your backorder notice did the price not go up?
I would like to know how you were able to do that too. |

Join "Fat Wallet". They list SG as a client. Shop through them at SG and you'll get a 6% rebate after the purchase.
I wish I'd known about them before! I purchased a case of ammo for my Polish Mak and a holster and got over $6 back after the club discount and coupon. Not a bad deal. |
