| Does anyone have experience with the Monarch 7.62X39 sold at academy? I saw it online only so i dont know any details about it. just wondering if anyone here has tried it? |
| Sorry i am new to the whole AK board (former ar15 owner). Does that mean it is good quality and non corrosive? I read the barnaul sticky thread and it was just a big argument about who knows the word of the real source. Didnt really tell me much about the ammo. |
Barnual is decent shooting fodder. In my experience, it shot better than the Wolf brand. And it is non-corrosive. Pretty much all Russian commercial made ammo can vary from lot to lot in terms of quality and accuracy. Priced right, I have no quams in buying more of it. And also, I have shot the same Monarch branded ammo from Academy with no problems. Hootbro |

$3 a box for X39 is too damn high! That works out to $150 a case and if your in Texas another $12 in sales tax! That's .16 a round! Please tell me that some of the former Iron Curtain nations are going to start competing with the Russians for our ammo business! I have seen some Hungarian MFS ammo lately but not a whole lot else. Where's the Bulgarian ammo, what about Czech, Romanian????? It's not like they have "booming" economies. I would think something they could sell for dollars, using plants they already have, employing their own, would be a no brainer! |

www.academy.com/ Click on hunting then ammo. The price is $2.86 now and they run it on sale every couple of months for $2.49. While still high priced they have it in stock all the time. |
| If you get that discount that brings you down to $2/box which is decent right now. I have shot lots of it, pretty decent, passes for non-corrosive, seems to be good plinking stuff for my purposes. A few rounds have had hard primers in the past but by and large very good quality in the lots I have encountered. |
