Russian's halting export of 7.62 ???

hey - I hit up Wally World about once a week before work - buy whatever they have that I shoot. If that bothers you because there isn't any on the shelf when you meander in on a Sunday afternoon - well then get your ass out of bed and get into Wally World in the AM.

If you can't be bothered to make even that minimal effort - well then it isn't that important to you is it...

If you shoot it, good for you. Knock yourself out bud.
 
Sounds like there's a bit of outting going on here.....

Am I reading a "no one should have more that xxxx rounds of ammo so there's enough for everybody" theme?

Sounds like a socialist solution to me :)

Buy what you want, can afford and can find...that smells like freedom to me [thumbsup]

Bingo.

I say, if you like your ammo plan, you can keep your ammo plan. I am against punishing those of us who have 'Cadillac' ammo plans.

It's out there. People who can't find it are not looking right.
 
has anyone actually seen any proof of this?

The internet is awash with stories of Putin shutting down exports of ammunition to the U.S. in response to events taking place in Ukraine. Blogs are making unsubstantiated reports that such a mandate has been handed down from the Kremin, however I’m unable to find any credible news sources to confirm these rumors. I’ve not been able to find a press release from the Kremlin nor any mention of it elsewhere in the main stream media.

Infowars is reporting that distributors (not importers) are reporting a massive run on Russian ammo after hearing the unsubstantiated rumors of an ammo embargo. Of course distributors are going to be wiped out, people are doing what they always do — panicking and hoarding. It’s a seemingly endless cycle we’ve endured for the last eight years or so… and here we go again.

We are our own worst enemies at times…

James Yeager posted a video saying things could get ugly if Putin shuts off exports of x39 ammo, and when I say x39 I mean 7.62×39 and 5.45×39. Keep in mind that Russia isn’t the only source of x39 ammo, it’s manufactured all over the world including places like Romania where Century Arms has previously sourced their 7.62x54R, 7.63×39 and 5.45×39 Red Army Standard ammunition. James also reports that no shipments of ammo are on the water and that it could be 4 months before more arrives, assuming it ever arrives.

Wanting to get the scoop straight for the horses mouth, I called the owner of Wolf Ammo (which is an American company by the way) this morning to see what I could find out about the status of imports. I was told that ammo is “on the water”, as are VEPR AK’s, and is headed towards the United States as I type this. I was also told that they have heard no news from Russia that their export agreements have been canceled or otherwise impeded.

Wolf imports ammo from a number of countries including Germany, Taiwan and Serbia — not just Russia. I was informed their corporate planning includes contingencies for events such as what’s currently transpiring in Russia. In short, they assured me that ammo will flow to the U.S. as Russia isn’t the only source of affordable x39 ammo in the world. Wolf isn’t going to close up shop should Putin halt ammo exports, they’ll simply source it elsewhere.

About the only thing that will change is the price, and that’s our own fault. Look at the current state of .22LR ammo. People continue to mindlessly panic buy the popular rimfire cartridge despite the fact manufacturers continue to produce it at the same volume they always have.

Again, we’re our own worst enemy at times.

So now the rush to hoard x39 ammo is in full swing despite the fact there’s no shortage of it flowing into the country. I’m already hearing reports out of Nevada that cases of ammo are up to $1,000. I urge you to think twice before you run out and buy ammo at grossly inflated prices.

The story is looking to be completely false on the stopping the exports....

On the other hand what IS true is that yesterday most, if not all, distributors ran out of 7.62....

Retailers still have some and for the most part they are completely unaffected at this point.

We' will have to wait and see what this upcoming week brings for supply and if it does replenish and at the same cost
 
All the proof I've seen is that of yet another self-induced buying panic that seems to have started by a vendor spewing garbage and some "blog" running with it. I've seen no proof of embargos, supply chain issues or the like. I agree with Deuce. Definitely some outting going on in this thread.

The funniest thing is there is a post a page ahead of his stating "want to buy 22lr"........guess his price is maybe just a little tiny but high. I don't know.[rolleyes]
 
Reguardless what he is asking for it. He is free to ask, as he should be. I dont understand how some members on here will swing their views/belifs so dramaticaly. One second its all about our 2a getting infringed upon and how the socialist mindset is destroying the country(and I agree with this no need to start you are not merican replies). Then it takes a left turn when a member places a price that is sought to be on the highside, or if other members are busting their ass to track down and collect ammo, or you feel they are hoarding ammo(god forbid). From the sounds of it, it looks like some people here do not agree that hard work and persistance should be rewarded differently than lazyness and complacentcy. From this mind set no one should have more than any one else and every one is equal listen to your selves. In the most respectful voice to those who feel this way.... Frig you.

I am headed to walmart now. I will be hiding in the camping section waiting for the next batch of 22lr.

Are you really gonna try and turn this around like I don't get it? You are asking people not to buy stuff cause it's in the shelves, that's why it's there. Now I'm gonna go buy a couple of cases of calibers I don't even shoot, cause it's on the shelves

The russian stock market took a bath this week

Putin needs money

There's nothing to be accomplished by Putin/Russia cutting off sales of ammo to the US market

If anything I would expect an increase in their willingness to sell ammo to the US civilian market

Place I bought ammo from yesterday online had about 200 1000 rounds cases of various brands....today, it's all sold out [shocked]

Damn. My online source is down to 6 500 round cases of Brown Bear and 8 500 round cases of Golden Bear. It's going quick.
 
Do not be fooled. They also pull it off the sheves and off the on line inventory so they can later on jack up the price. The stuff is still flowing into the country for now.

I was at FS today for a while...plenty of 7.62 and no one I could see was buying any.

Might have been due to their higher ammo prices lol. Not sure though. Let me guess, $6.99 plus tax per 20 rounds of Tula?

Regardless, thanks for the heads up.
