Probably better to get it from your dealer than going direct to Hannams. Hannams will sell retail but their prices are high to allow for their wholesale customers to have a margin so as not to be in competition with them.

Ah, that clears it up thanks. So either way i'm out of luck since I also have 7.62x54r but again 400rnd limit.snayperskaya wrote:Spam cans....ArcofZen wrote:I'm also after something in 7.62x39 and added it at as my first variation. I asked for 500rnds but they only gave me 400 so spam cans are out which is a shame. Although I was always under the impression that each can held 440rnds? If a can is only 350 then happy days!
Need something to feed mind you. I'm sure straight pull AK's used to be fairly cheap, or when I was looking a couple of years ago, Now they seem to be harder to come by, and not cheap!
7.62x39 = 700 rounds
7.62x54r = 440 rounds
5.45x39 = 1080 rounds
Can dimensions are the same for all, only the amount varies so one sized can/crate fits all.
The Romanian AKs as sold buy Oleg are as close as you can get to a Soviet-era AKM as they are manufactured at the RomArm/Cugir Arsenal in Romania on ex-Soviet Russian machines.Slap on some Arctic Birch laminate, an akm slant brake and a Bakelite mag and you've cracked it![]()
And I have been lusting after those Ak's so make no apology for quoting the image again.

I also have one of these, can also be downloaded so you can use it indoors if you can convince your club, it is the one rifle that every newbie knows and wants a go of !
