7.62x39 Golden Tiger at SGammo


Recommended Posts

Apparently Sam was able to get ahold of 360 cases for Black Friday.

Showing 60 left in stock right now.  The email says that more won't be available until March.

This is great stuff, so grab some if you can before it sells out.

(limit one case)

And for me GT is the best of new production x39, at least in my Saiga.

 

My order of best groups:

Golden Tiger

Brown Bear

Wolf

Herters

 

 

ETA, not a massive difference, but enough to notice at any distance About 3/4 inch between best and worst. 100yds

There's still no GT it seems. I emailed the guy I got my saiga through, and he, at least,! still has probably 800-900 rounds. I bought 100 from him before when he said he had 1000. Would have bought more if I had known better. He's got a small shop in the middle of nowhere so I don't know how many people are wandering in to get x39. He's about an hour away from me but I'll probably go grab at least 400 rounds. Anyone been able to find any since this thread died?

Just out of curiosity, do you mind checking the year of manufacture on the outer box?

There should be a Lot # with a two digit section that will tell you what year it was made.   I'm curious how long they've been sitting on this.

 

It seems like SGAmmo has been the only one with Golden Tiger for years.  I don't know if they have any exclusive rights to it or if they just buy everything that is produced.  Again this is all in the interest of curiosity.   I've always been very happy with SGAmmo and do business with them whenever I can.

E-21-09?

 

I didn't get it from sgammo ( I did just order some yugo x54 from them though). Got the golden tiger from the 308ammo referenced above.

 

Oh I totally get that...the fact that there was someone other than SGAmmo selling it is what piqued my curiosity.

It looks like your case was manufactured in 2009, so maybe 308Ammo bought this before SGAmmo took over as the apparently sole importer.

Nice. Still, $308 a case... Seems like good ammo for hoarding, but is it worth the extra ~$70?

 

I love the stuff.  It's consistent, hotter than average, lacquer coated, non-corrosive and sealed on both ends.  It has a lot going for it.   That $70 breaks down to an extra 7 cents each.  If I thought it would never show up again, I would recommend jumping on this if you don't already have some stocked away.   However, I do hold out hope that Sam at SGAmmo will make this available again at a reasonable price, so I'm waiting.  If I'm wrong, I still have a little set aside.

I posted another thread about this but wanted to post here in case someone subscribed to this thread doesn't see the other one.
It's back in stock (for the moment) at SGAmmo.   There are supposedly three shipments total, with only the first being posted today, so don't despair if you miss out on this round.
