"Roger that".
The Academy in northeast San Antonio at I-35/Olympia had two large pyramids of it on the glass counter. We were in town to "repo" the in-laws car and sell it soon, but they accept the idea. They have too many age-related problems to drive. Very lucky timing.
Was really surprised that other long-term Texas SKS/AK types had not made Academy stores their Primary Target. On Tuesday got 1,000 rds. then sneaked back the next two days (12 min. drive) for another 500. There should be a good bit left, if you are lucky enough to be in the area. Passed an Academy right by I-35 going north to or from Austin.

Are there so few SKS, AK or Mini 30 shooters in the SAT area? Five days ago, a staffer at a Little Rock store said that he had large amounts left over.

As for a few mail order websites elsewhere, a friend told me on Wednesday that certain types of Russian-made x39 are no longer available, i.e. Golden Tiger.

Just came back from buying 2 more cases from the store in W. Little Rock. All that they had left were in a shopping cart at the end of the isle. There looked to be about 6-7 cases left. He did inform me that the prices were going back to $4.89 a box on Sunday. That would make a case price around $122, roughly $48 more a case. I wish they would have a sale on some other calibers. I would like to see some .308 for about $3 a box. I do believe that those days are over.
 
Just got 2k at the one on Forrest in Dallas

I just now figured out that its FMJ so I now need to get rid of 1k of this stuff...

$150 for 1k any one?

GAWD IT SUCKS BEING AN HONEST PERSON!!!!

I went to pick up another 1000 rounds this evening.....I took my two 500 round cases up to the register......dumb little high school kid rung up each CASE at 2.99...she was going to charge me $5.98 for 1000 rounds! But I couldn't do it...... I told her the mistake and paid up..... (Karma catches up with bad people ya know)

well anyway..they confirmed the price goes up Sunday.... my local Tomball store had 3000 rounds left when I walked out the door...
 
If it's any consolation to those unable to get to these stores, my losses selling a new, over-priced (AO) M-1 carbine, then the Rem. ammo, far exceeded the money saved by buying a chunk of this x39 ammo. Wish I had known then about the SKS etc.
 
I cleaned Fort Smith AR out of the last two unopened 500rd cases. It appeared as though they had about 3 more cases worth of lose 20rd boxes on hand though
 
some ranges do not allow fmj due to sparks and ricochets....

I'm lucky as our private range basically has two rules....... no full auto and no alcohol.... I can live with that.
 
simpleisgood.

no i havent, i was thinking more I10 area :D
i'll venture out today and look around some. maybe hit SL area also...
 
Wait what? so the price is going up, what happened to "until the end of the year"?
 
I bought 4 cases at the Academy at 290 West and F.M. 1960. They had about 6 cases left, but that was last Wednesday. :)

Good luck!
 
So, I read this thread, got excited. Woke up my roomate and we jetted out to the Academy here in San Antonio, 1604 and Military.

They have a TON, I fill up a shopping basket and take it to the front.

Rings up $4.86

Checkout guy calls to the back. They check and double check. $2.99 sale ended yesterday.
