Economy Biden bans importation of Russian ammo

[Hadron90]

Russians make 9mm, .22 lr, 12 gauge, .223 and 30-06 and 357? And 45 acp? I feel and swear those are most common in the US. I know a lot of russian side arms use 9mm but there rifles arent 223 chambered

None of that is any consolation to the AK owners out there, of which there are millions.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Wait arent you America first? Do you need to buy foreign ammo now?

 

[Scrody]

What a crock of shit. Biden sucks ass.

 

[bobgeese]

These are weird priorities.

 

[Officer Rick]

Not an argument.

nope not an argument


its a fact

 

[jlagman]

Probably why the Taliban switched to M4s.

 

[jlagman]

Sure, there's uncertainty. Yes, lots of places make ammo and growing one's business always comes with risks.




In 12 months when the order is up for renewal there's the slim chance Biden rescinds it. Then it's back to competing with cheap imports.

I'll say something potentially controversial; if not for the popularity of the AK, I think the 7.62x39 would be a "dead" cartridge.

Since we’re sharing trivia I’d like to add that despite being 13% of the population, Canadians make 50% of the threads in the war room

Could be. I've got two rifles chambered in it but neither are AKs.

 

[The XL]

The President has the authority to arbitrarily ban that? I think they just make up their own powers as they go along.

Creepy Joe and democrats end run for gun control.

If he want to punish Russia he could have gone after something that actually would hurt them.

[Renard]

That's basically his plan to control guns: slowly choke out supply and availability without actually banning them directly since it's unconstitutional.

 

[reveler]

well, this will stop people from accidentally buying 9mm makarov i guess.

 

[12ga.]

We need to call the Taliban for group buy, They have all our ammo.

It’s been reborn as the 300 blackout….partly joking

 

[Whippy McGee]

I've always considered an AK. I am glad I favored the AR platform.

China Joe is a fucking scumbag.

 

[White Whale]

Good thing I have an ample supply of 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R.

Russian ammo is a pretty sizable portion of the US supply. US is already suffering a massive ammo shortage, and now General Joe has gone and made it a hell of a lot worse.

More market for American ammo poducers.

Prvi Partizan is Serbian. They do 7.62x39.

i never saw prvi steel cased 7.62x39... just brass.

You should of bought the AK during the Trump years and have bought 10,000 rounds of ammo for it. I swear that is what all the huge gun guys do

close. AKs were already stupidly expensive during trump.

not THAT long ago, WASRs/saigas/tantals were $300-400 and a case of 7.62x39 wolf was $100.

i haven't bought any ak ammo in a decade. ...i also don't shoot AKs much. and i sold a shitty WASR for almost $1k


(and imo, 7.62x39 is a shitty caliber)

 

[mantis_fist]

7.62 has almost doubled. Nicely done there chap.
