If you hear of anyone wanting to get investors to set up a factory for making Russian ammo, let me know.

Since ammo supply will be plunging, time to restock now before 9-7-21 when some caliber ammo prices will once again go up, up, up.

I was thinking it might be a good business opportunity to make this ammo in the USA. It won’t be anything like cheap, though.

Our local coffee shop proprietor open carries a Soviet handgun that he got for a carton of Marlboros while in the Coast Guard in the '80s. He might.

No. This isn't about punishing Russia. It's about punishing us.

“Beginning September 7 Importation of Russian Ammunition will be Prohibited”

Not to worry, NORINCO will make up the difference, and “The Big Guy” will get his cut.

Not to worry, comrades.

Non Russian brass cased 7.62x39 is available here. It’s just over priced for a gun that is designed to shoot steel cased ammo.
