dave43 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Just got a Saiga .223 and am getting russian rounds like Barnaul and wolf for around $120 for 500....This seems very cheap to me but I've heard it used to be cheaper. What was a case of 500 of russian ammo going for a year ago? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pogy 5 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Coincidentally, I stumbled across a receipt today from "The Armory" for 1K of 55 gr FMJ Wolf Military Classic dated 1/18/07 for $176.00 shipped. Edited December 22, 2008 by pogy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SickMAK90 0 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I just got 1k wolf military classic from AIM for 240$ shipped. Cheap as it has been for awhile. Even pre-Obama panic. Not long ago wolf could be bought for 2.50 a box anywhere. 2$ a box for 7.62. I am only 24 and I remember those days. We used to burn up ammo like it was water.

macbeau 902 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Hmmmm... Two years ago, I got a case (1k) of Wolf 55gn FMJ for $100 shipped. Three years ago, I got a 1400 rd case of Guatemalan (IMI) for $120 and a case (1k) of Barnul for $95 shipped. That was also in the day where you could locally get South African .308 battle back (140rds) at gun shows for $19-$22 each - and that seemed expensive. [FWIW - I also remember the early-mid 80's where you could get an Egyptian AK (MAADI) for around $450, but the only 7.62x39 that was available was Norma at around $1 - $1.50 PER ROUND ($20 - $30 for a box of 20)... That, and U.S. surplus M193 (Lake City) was going for about $90 for a 500 round can at gun shows. The IMI stuff was cheaper at about $125 for a case of 1200 in battle packs...] Ah, the good old days... Edited December 18, 2008 by macbeau Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Yeah I had 3 cases of ammo back ordered for 289.00 Edit that was 7.62x39 ammo That was back in late 05 My brother bought 880 rounds of 7.62x54r for 68.00 shipped at the same time... Edit: I think I bought some brown bear .223 in june of 07 for 160 a case. I think I paid 7.00 for galil orlites to and a dozen ak magazines for 29.00.
