As this Russian BAN starts to bite, mil surp ammo has run dry over here.
The good news is, 2 weeks ago Chinese ammo landed and will be for sale.
It is steel copper washed case with a steel core.
The 762 x 39 comes in 550 tins on 10rd stripper clips (great for SKS & VZ58 shooters)
The price from your dealer ????? That's for them to decide.
As there seems no other big importer the options are limited.
At least we can keep shooting.

Picked up 200 Chinese 54r stuff last weekend, not had a chance to try it out yet though!

Stuff the Russians and the Chinese.
Hand load for them its no more expensive and you will end up with better quality ammo and no corrosive primers to worry about.

Alpha1, not everyone has the time, space, or even interest to reload.

Clean properly and corrosive primers ain't a problem....they seem to terrify some people.

So who is selling this Chinese ammo then?.

For example,on Gunstar-Simply Firearms
Reports from Polish shooters indicate this ammo is more dirty then Russian stuff, tough....

Simply is where I got mine from. Went for something else and took the opportunity to pick some up when he said he had some milsurp in.

7,62x54R and x39 is still available in mainland Europe in copious amounts and is but an email away so I am not sure why this should be a problem quite yet. Maybe it is the usual UK sources telling us it is a problem.

I don't live in mainland Europe.
So how do I get ammo on my fac by email???????
Apart from one place that is charging £45 per 100 for 762 x 39 I couldn't find any.
If there is so much about please tell.
