I have been looking for large quantities of 7.62x39 ammo for my SKS, but have been unsuccessful so far. I have tried the local Bass Pro Shop, Gander Mountain, and Dick's Sporting Goods, as well as National Gun Day (huge gun show in Louisville every three months). I just called Cabela's to see if they had any in stock and the guy told me that there is a six to eight week backorder of 7.62x39 ammo.
I guess that the best bet will be to hit all of the local gun shops and pick it up a couple of boxes at a time.

Local shops will be expensive, but I think shops have that cal in boxes of 25. The last big cache that I knew of came from Yugoslavia in 1260 cases. All gone now.
Look on the bright side - we know it’s the “good guys” that are stocking up, and the bad guys know this too.

Last month here in Alaska there was a stack of 7.62x39 and .308 side by side, the prices were near the same, I have a use for both but I stockpiled the .308 instead.
Now I have an ample supply of Barnes 150gr. TSX bullets but no more new .308 brass, I am thinking I may pull the FMJ bullets on several boxes and reload with the superior Barnes.
I can always use the powder later for those bullets as long as I weigh it first and make notes.
