AK-47 worth anything since 7.62x39 will no longer be readily available?

One thing's for sure - it'll be interesting what the impact will be to the sales of PSA's AK's will be.

PSA has them for 699 or so. It should drop a more here shortly

I am still waiting for brass 223 to get back to normal pricing, $175/1000 including shipping.

28 cents per round on brass 223 was very good. 17 cents a round? Maybe for 9mm but not 223

And we can't forget the Taliban....since they've now gotten a MOUNTAIN of US M4s and ammo, they'll have all their 7.62X39 supply and sources they can channel over for profit to fund their new humanitarian government in the 'stan....

in for the tallyban setting up an ODT meet to trade some 762x39 for some 556.

What, aside from an easily replaceable head stamp, would give it away. I'm sure with enough determination that could be changed and shuffled like a deck of cards.

They cant keep up with the demand of Ar ammo and it wasnt even banned.

I do not own an AK. But I do have ammo. Purchased when AR ammo was difficult to purchase. Before I had the chance to purchase the AK the price went thru the roof. So I held off to wait for the price to come back to normal. A 500 AK was north of a thousand dollars. I was not going to spend that much on a firearm that I was not crazy about. But with the banning of russian ammo maybe, just maybe, the price on AK's will come back to normal. Then I will be happy. I have 3000 rounds of AK ammo that only cost me 15 cents a round. Hate for all that ammo go to waste.

And now we find the real reason for your post. Only took 12 hours to find Waldo.

Your first post:
"Can not see why people would by *buy any AK-47 rifle knowing that 7.62x39 ammo will longer be available." (This is a lie, the ammo will still be available.)

To this:
"I do not own an AK. But I do have ammo.
"But with the banning of russian ammo maybe, just maybe, the price on AK's will come back to normal. Then I will be happy."

This is my takeaway from the motivation for your post: You can't wait to **** someone out of their investment for your entertainment now that the ammo is going to be more expensive. Nice.

Ah the yin and yang of ODT. You have people selling a $380 trigger for $900 and then others hoping to screw someone out of their AK because they are out of ammo.

There was s time it was under 10 cent a round, buy 1000 rounds and a gi ammobox was free.

And this was for u.s.g.i. surplus 5.56.

There is enough demand here in the US market, that steel or brass 7.62x39 will always be available. No reason to sell off any AK or SKS rifle.

I believe steel cased 7.62x39 is already imported from Turkey. Other companies will fill the void or The Russians will just contract with someone else, in another low cost place (Serbia, Turkey, Croatia, Egypt, Taiwan, etc) and import it here.

I purchased the ak ammo to buy purchase an ak. I knew nothing of the ak so I was reading and watching youtube videos about the ak47. Come to find out that most are cheaply made. So I held off. over night the prices on these blew thru the roof. So yes I am waiting for the prices to come back to normal while people were ripping off, according to you, others by selling 3 or 4 times what they paid for it. So if I am being bad by hoping the prices will fall back to normal then you should be really angry with the ones that made 4 times the money. So stick that in your oven pal.

With your negative feedback you should not be judging others. All I am waiting for is for the the AK's to come back to the normal price.

Normal is what market rate is in the current. I would ask if you would sell your house today for what you paid for it 8 years ago, but I'm gonna make the assumption that you don't own one to sell.
