.22 production by tenfold....
Sounds like a plan...
22LR all over the place. Use Ammoseek.com. Lotsa 22 mag as well.
Remember the Pre Clinton daze when a Chinese Norinco MAK 90 was about $250.00, and you could feed it with Russian 7.62X39
in a wood crate of 1440 rounds for $89.00? And the 30 round Chinese magazines were $4.00? 75 round drums $29.00?
Should have bought a boxcar full of all of that stuff.
If I ever get to Texas or you get to Virginia, we could remedy that.
I was at a gun shop on Saturday. The place was jammed so badly (think Boston Green Line) they had posted a bakery-style “Take a Number” machine outside the door. I’ve never seen so many guns sold in an hour.
Cowboys and musloids...coming soon.
I lamented the days of cheaper firearms and ammo back in the late 1980’s, until someone reminded me that this was more than 25 years ago. Inflation factors in a lot, for that long a time period.
I broke a small part called a buffer in my Model 60 last week. The part came in Friday. A young man I know is hoping to become an engineer in the firearm business.
I’m giving him the action and the new part to try to fix.
Yep, though I don't think I paid anywhere near $250. for my MAK 90. My forged receiver Bulgarian was around $250. I got my first Norinco SKS for about $75. at a Rose's department store. Fun gun.
“How many 10’s of thousands of 22LR should one have on hand?”
If your count is that low, you’re already behind the curve.

Everybody breaks a buffer eventually. The plastic facory buffers get brittle over time and crumble.
The neoprene replacements seem to last forever.
It’s not too difficult, just make sure he puts a paperclip in the hole in the bottom of the hammer strut before taking it apart so the hammer strut spring does not fly out and get lost.

Would you pay $426.00 for a new Chinese Norinco MAK 90 or 140.00 for 1440 rounds of 7.62X39 today?
That is what $250.00 for a MAK 90 and 1440 rounds of 7.62X39 (70 boxes) would cost in 1992 in 2016 inflated dollars. I think so. The political costs are not factored in cost increases with inflation comparisons. The political anti gun atmosphere adds greatly.
Well, in my defense, you are likely using government inflation numbers, which are about half the real inflation.
