7.62x39mm

[eatatjoz]

Just a heads up to the fellow plinkers around here.
7.62x39 at Academy sports... 2.99 a box.
$150 per 1000 rds. :eusa_dance::th_biggun:
I'm going to be plinking for a while. I can even afford to do some coyote huntin'.
Crap, I just realized I payed more for ammo than I payed for the rifle. ($89 bucks pre-ban)

Wow!! Great price, do they sell on-line?
Agh! Doesn't matter, I don't know any FFL's around here, damn!
Still a good price though. Midsouth is $11.92 a box of 20, that's like $600 per K. :confused2:

I didn't think a FFL was needed for ammunition. I've had it delivered to my door from cheaperthandirt.

They sell online, but I didn't see the special on their website.

Interesting, maybe I'll order a K rds and see what happens. NY is pretty fussy about this stuff, but I'll check it out . Thanks

I hope it wasn't Wolf. I have had bad luck with WOLF ammo from there.

What sort of problems, missfires?
They are steel cases aren't they?

 

[eatatjoz]

It's Monark brand. (might as well be Wolf).
I've never had any problems with it in my Norinco.

 

[Hatter]

Misfires, ejection problems, and when it does fire, it all over the target. I changed ammo and no more problems.

I use UMC now with no promblems

I picked up some boxes of these earlier this spring. They have 32 rounds/box, brass cases.
Anybody recognize them? If I remember right they are military, maybe Portugese.
Pic sucks, sorry.

The UMC is good ammo, expensive, but good. I've been buying it off and on lately for when I start reloading. The brass seems to be pretty good quality.

No pic there Danny.
