A couple weeks ago Gun Gear to Go had some 1k round boxes for $300. I know they've since sold out, but I haven't been by recently enough to know if they've restocked or not.

If anyone is looking for 7.62x39, earlier today centerfiresystems.com has Tula in-stock for $7.49/box of 20. Now if they would only get some 5.45x39 in-stock.

Tula is the cheapests Russian Ammo, should be some $150 to $180 per 1,000 rds. At 2X I should be in the Ammo business!

It's definitely higher than it should be. The only ammo I'm buying right now is .22lr and 5.45x39 since I can't reload them. I can't find either in stock though. :shock:

Geez, for that price they should be gaining stock... Didn't the same stuff go for like $6.50 or $7.00 a month ago?

One of the Wal-Marts here in Waco (Bellmead) had Tula 7.62x39 FMJ 20 round boxes in stock last night. They were selling for $5.29 each. They were also limiting customers to 6 boxes of ammo per person per day. My roommate went with me and we bought the last 12 boxes they had.

It seems normally priced (pre-panic) ammo CAN be found, but it is all about being at the right place at the right time. :coolgleamA:

One of the guys in line at the ammo counter there last night tried to get me to bite on a "deal" for a case of AK ammo. It went something like this:

Him: "You're buying that AK ammo? You wanna buy a case of it?"
Me: "How many rounds?"
Him: "Oh, I don't know like 500 or 1000."
Me: "You mean 640?"
Him: "Yeah that's it."
Me: "How much?"
Him: "$500"
Me: *resisting the urge to laugh* "Considering that I just bought a 640 round case of Tula at Academy across town for $189.99 last weekend, I think I'll pass. I'm not that desperate."
Him: *suddenly realizing he wasn't dealing with some random moron* "Oh..."

I wanted to say more to that idiot, but the lady working the ammo/gun counter last night was insanely cute (and not to mention, competent), so I held back. :cool:
