    All Russian ammo banned from importation

    Yep, just when you thought it could not get worse for shooters

    Making gun ownership difficult every chance they get. I wonder if this applies to all the AK ammo the US military buys from Russia too, or just civilians.

    Ive wondered what took so long.
    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

    Sounds like Winchester is going to own the market for that caliber.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Worse, no Russian 5.45x39 will be coming in. Red Army, Tula, Wolf, Silver Bear, and no 7n6.

    I guess I am going need more brass now.

    Red Army is just a name. They was buying from all over the place. I think the box I have is from Romania.

    Wolf is basically the same thing. It's just a name and is part of something Sports International out of Cali. They just buy from factories and box it under their own name. That's why Wolf Gold 556 is from Taiwan and most other Wolf Gold calibers was reboxed PPU

    Hopefully some former Combloc country can stand up to fill the market. There used to be that Hungarian MFS company. I'm sure there's someone who previously couldn't compete with the Russians now has a window

    Isn't Hornady actually making 5.45x39 also?

    They did. I don't know if they still do. Wasn't cheap though. I think it was like 50 cent/round.

    So 5.45x39 becomes about like 5.56. The days of super cheap "still made on state owned equipment" rifles and ammo really came to an end over a decade ago. AK rifles now cost as much as ARs and I'd rather have affordable 7.62x51 than 7.62x39 if given the choice. I miss shooting my .308s.
