This is something that has been somewhat confusing. I know most are aware that the Chicom steel core AK ammo has been banned from import. I've always read on here it was because some guy had made a AK pistol and therefore steel core pistol ammo was now banned from import.
Where this story doesn't really add up is the 7.62x54r steel core ammunition that is readily available. I've seen on here pictures of a mosin-nagant pistol that some guy had made. The other day I was talking to a guy who claims he has some custom built .308 pistol where he can hit a paperplate at 300 yrds. I would guess there has been some surplus .308 that was steel core(experts chime in) imported.
So I'm wondering what's the difference, and why is the x39 ammo singled out or whats the real reason for this? Is it because the AK is scarier or what?
