karlunity Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I learned to reload the Russian stuff and got some with boxer primed....So far so good karl I see this as a political move an endrun around the Second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I still have a good supply of 762X39. It’s about ten or more years old. I won’t buy from Cheaper Than Dirt if there’s an alternative. They were the biggest gougers of all online ammo merchants. There was a lot of net chatter about CTD returning or canceling orders then offering the same merchandise at higher prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Prepper was out. I usually don’t buy from Cheaper anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdm1962 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I sold all com block stuff under Obozo. I thought it was just a matter of time before this would happen. I hated to let my CZ52 go but I didn't want to have a gun I couldn't get ammo for. I set up to reload 7.63x54r berden primers. It was a big pain and effort than it was worth.

karlunity Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Back when it was cheap I got some Boxer brass 7.62/54 from Graff and sons. May be worth looking at them? karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRednek Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Most Russian guns have been blocked from import for several years. It’s not anything new. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it started with Clinton. The only exceptions we’re some sporting rifles and shotguns but I haven’t seen any new Baikal shotguns for sale in a long time. I do miss the Russian Makarov pistols that sold for about a hundred. My Russian Mak has an adjustable rear sight not found on the others. I did have one POS Russian Mak. It was chambered for 380 but the bore slugged .364 the correct bore size for the 9MM Mak bullet. I traded it away for a Russian made 410 O/U shotgun for my grandson. I had my mind set on one of the Russian O/U double barrel 30/06 rifles. The lightweight barrel alignment was up to the buyer saving the factory labor costs. Unfortunately after they became scarce the prices went sky high before I got a chance to buy one. Early 90’s they were about $275 + FFL and shipping.

Well not exactly as I believe it was written somewhere the militia were required to have and maintain sufficient ball and powder. Karl you’re the history guy, was it in The Articles of Confederation or some other early US document. It could come in handy if it has to go to the Supremes.

Dr.Hess Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 The ammo issue has already gone to the Supreme Court. Don't have the reference handy, but the ruling was that ammo was implied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s California that requires a back ground check to buy ammo. I imagine the next step might be adding a ridiculously high background check fee. I’m fairly confident it would be beat down in the courts but it could take years. I’m in good shape ammo wise. I’m guilty of being a hoarder during the Obozo shortages. I hoarded reloading components, primers especially. My current problem is my reloading gear and components are totally disorganized. Having a dispute with my X while she was moving out. I started cramming things into the former bedroom I made into my gun room. Between being lazy, lacking ambition, partially crippled and painful being on my feet for more than 30 or so minutes. I just haven’t got around to getting things back in order. Sorry caught myself keyboard rambling again. I will now shut up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not a problem sir. If you cannot ramble around us where can ya? I got some as well every time I was i a store.
