YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN IN YOUR LIFETIME!!
This IS NOT Political, simply factual.
When President Clinton took office in 1993 surplus 7.62x39 ammunition was $2/box of 20. I was going to build up a stockpile by buying 1-2 boxes a week until I thought I had enough. The next weekend in the same LGS it was suddenly$5/box of 20. Adjusted for inflation that is $10 today!!! This was 29 years ago and has never returned to $2 yet, and, obviously, never will. The annoying thing is the Chinese and Russian stuff is probably still coming into the country nearly free, or would except for Biden's ban on importation!
Bottom line now is If I don't load it, I don't shoot it! Even that is getting difficult as all of you know. Cost for everything is ridiculous, but even with the cost finding loading components is next to impossible.
