If Classic Arms (in NC) had not "sold out" of the basic lower-cost Saiga 5.45 rifles (planned two weeks ago, but waiting for extra work), back on Tuesday, with Russian troops on every airport tv screen, Russian ammo as Plan B seemed the cautious alternative. And ammo is always the priority.
The same kind of talk which suddenly increases sales of Russian rifles implies that Russian ammo Could be next...
Think about it: protests in Kiev Ukraine have been worsening for months, and Gunbot has had more than a few entries for Ukrainian ammo for maybe the same time span. The only year-round warm water port used by Russia for centuries has been the Black Sea, right by Ukraine.
A little more geography and reading the news might not seem cool. Well, those 2,000 rds. of Russian Wolf 7.62x39 ammo arrived today.
Googling the Black Sea map and thinking about consequences of the news might not be so bad. Hoarding for retirement.
Our next WH "royalty" might place much higher taxes or tarriffs on imported ammo. Should we all just wait and see what happens?
