This is going to make a lean market even more so. Russian import ammo about to get restricted from the sounds of it. may drive prices high on certain calibers?? Fact Sheet: United States Imposes Additional Costs on Russia for the Poisoning of Aleksey Navalny - United States Department of State
BiDumbs big brainchild to beat up on the Russian Economy, for supporting their Political HorseShit rivals…. Or something like that….
And all other firearms toys. AK 308 always impressed me and I see stuff on the net that some armies have at least considered it.
Russian ammo (Wolf, Red Army and Tula) have been some of the most available during this shortage, and in a number of calibers (9mm, .223/5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, 12 ga. 00 Buck, etc.). At Rural King (where I work) we have plenty and I might buy some for re-sale. I don't make a lot of money re-selling ammo, since I sell to friends, neighbors and relatives (hereabouts they tend to be all three).
Ammo will likely get distributed to the US through another country. All the Russian manufacturers need to do is to "make" the ammo for a different company in a different country. So Tula manufacturers for, say Fiocci ,who then sells it here. Don't know if you could pull the same trick with firearms, but I bought an Italian CZ-75 when you couldn't get them from Czechoslovakia. Gotta love Biden letting the big Russian pipeline happen after the supposed Russian pawn Trump had it stopped, then "punishes" Russia by raising costs to US citizens to defend themselves. Makes you wonder if Biden is the one selling us out. Not really, no need to wonder at all.
You can ALWAYS get whatever you need or want...the price might be a little higher but you can get it! Remember the so-called "Assault Weapons Ban"? You could still buy "assault weapons" but the price was a little higher! Remember the ban on high capacity magazines? Ditto! There is a lot of Russian ammo in stores, trucks, warehouses, and more is arriving daily...lots more!
You could mandate that all illegal immigrants crossing the border must have 500 rounds of Russian made ammo on them before entering!
Biden would NEVER go for it! However, the drug cartels will do ANYTHING for a buck! Thank GOD for smugglers!
My buddy that goes to Lubbock all the time for family stuff found plenty of large rifle and large pistol primer, all I could want for $70 to $80 a brick. I was like nah, but small primers yeah maybe. Didn't come across any smalls.
