7.62 x 39 seems to be back on the shelves, but we are looking at close to double the price of a year or so ago.

Used to be able to get it at Gander for 1.99 a box. Now they want 200 for a thousand rounds (50 boxes).

Got it at the Houston gunshow for $150 plus tax.

I think that once the supply lines open up, the price will be kept high by people stocking up for a while, then we may see it come down.

200,000 rounds??? That is about 4 tons. IIRC, a box of 1000 weighs about 40lbs. with the packaging and all. So 200 cases would be 8000 pounds, which is 4 tons. Dude, that is impressive!!

Also worth abouth 30k. Sell half of it and get yourself a full auto to fire the other half!!!
