7.62x39 ammo

Anyone have good sources on cheap ammo? 155/1000 still seems high to me.

I think for the most part those days are gone, at least for now anyway.  You might ought to pay the $155 while you can get it for that before it takes another price increase.

That sounds like a good price to me too.  A while back I talked to an ammo dealer; he said it was becoming increasingly harder for him to obtain 7.62x39.  According to his story, Iran is buying all the ammo they can get their hands on, They are going to the manufactures and offering payment in gold to make their purchases.  He also stated that a major US purchaser who had paid in advance was put on the waiting list for later production because all that is being made is being traded for the gold.  As I understand, Iran has worked this deal with every manufacturer.

Makes me wonder if they are preparing for war, or supporting the terrorist in other parts of the world by providing ammo.  Maybe both.

As I understood it, Venesuela bought 100,000 AK 47's from one of the Former Soviet
Satelite countries also. I am sure ammo to feed them was part of the bargain also.
Another reason I read is that the UN had gotten involved with the destruction of
surplus ammunition rather than countrys exporting it. "Exporting Death" is their
New catch Phrase. The prices of copper and Brass and Lead are also contributing to the
shortages. I started a couple of years ago telling every one they better stock up or Hoard
or what ever you want to call it. And one of the comments someone made really sticks out now !
He told me to increase my Medication !
I think this is an appropriate time to say  "I TOLD YOU SO !!!!"
I would VERY HIGHLY recommend buying that $155.00 ammo !
It Will not drop in price again, I can almost assure you!

Just curious, did you?   :)  Just joking with you.  I remember that thread.

You might check w/ Grafs, I think I saw it in their sale flyer last night for $2.79 for a box of 20 but it  may have been the 115 gr.  That would be about $140/1000.

Sorry,  I looked at the Grafs flyer again and it was 2.89 which would make it $57.80 a 1000.  I think you found a good deal.

I know a lot of folks look at me as a conspiracy theorist
or something like that, (including my wife) But it isn't paranoia
if it is based on facts  ;D . I am addicted to information!
I am constantly reading or on CNN (or similar channels).
My Job is in the computer field so I am bombarded with info. constantly.
I just try to pass it along when I find it ! 8)
