Greetings All,
I was thinking about diversifying my investments today. One thought came into my head - I should've bought 7.62x25 ammo when it was around....now even after the craze - its still about 3x what it costed 18 months ago.
Proceeding to the next step - surplus 5.45x39 and 7.62x54r ammo is still plentiful and affordable. What would be your opinions on buying spam cans of the stuff and putting it in a closet somewhere? Eventually I think I' may get an AK74 and Mosin - but for now I don't have either...
As for the cons of collecting these ammo types, I see:
For the 5.45x39:
Really only the AK74 uses this ammo and some Ar uppers...not quite the same numbers as Tokarevs and PPSHs?
Current Production ammo is only 30% more than the surplus (Looking at Wolf)
7.62x54r:
Mosins and Veprs only for the most part?
Most folks just like shooting 10-12 before calling it a day?
Thanks!
