Went to cheaperthandirt.com to replenish some supplies, and was
shocked to see that 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39 now costs $499. WTF? There
is no anti-gun legislation that was adopted yet, it can still be
imported, etc, why such a crazy price? That stuff used to cost under
$100 for a thousand, if I remember right.

Be glad you're not shooting 7.62x51. I paid
about $550/1000 for German NATO surplus and
I was happy to get it. I can't anymore.

In addition to the speculators and Obama fear
mongers buying up ammo, there's also an ongoing
demand for it in the sandbox. I don't think
the high prices will last forever.
