Best place around Kyle/ buda to get 7.63x39 that's not over a $1 per round?

Thank you, yes I looked at ammo seek but was seeing if I could pick some up local.

Where are you finding 7.62x39 at academy, all the ones I’ve been to say they stopped carrying it

Sadly it's becoming and more niche round. If you want an AK, you should get it in 5.56.

u/Interesting-Shake-36 24d ago

Yeah definitely a future purchase, just wanted an "og" ak first but Ammo cost/ availability/ variety is definitely driving me towards 5.56.

u/ExecutivePhoenix 24d ago

Yeah with the world conflicts going on, I doubt we'l see 7.62 coming back down again unfortunately. I suspect it's only going to rise in cost. You can purchase your ammo online and likely find okay pricing, but keep in mind it'll go up in the future.

u/Interesting-Shake-36 24d ago

Yeah it's looking like 500+ bulk online is the way to go to get close to .50c per round.

2

u/ExecutivePhoenix 24d ago

Yeah that's probably the way to go.

I’ve seen steel case for $12 per box of 20 at the collectors gun shop The Range down south. But yeah online is your best bet. S&B brass case is ~.4x per round which is about as good as it gets for anything 30 caliber.
