Most of the dealers of AK ammo are saying large quantities are inbound. But, what about all of those backorders. Will they eat up all the shipments that come onshore? Will the dealers ever catch up? Will dealers like SG cancel all of the backorders at the low prices that we ordered at and then relist the ammo at high prices?
I remember another time ammo skyrocketed in price, before Y2K. I stocked up on some 7.62x39 when some "friends" asked me to order additional cases with an order. With shipping I must have paid $140.00 a case. I got stuck with it all when they balked at paying that much for the ammo they wanted. I told them upfront what the cost would be. I had to make my money back by selling it to them by the 1/4 case or by the box.
At the time I also had a crate of South African 5.56x45 military surplused ammo that everyone wanted (around 6,000 rounds). It's nowhere to be found now. I got it cheap and when these same guys need a battlepack for a shoot they pay out the ass for it and don't bitch at all.
Supply and demand.
