I'm guessing we will block sales of 7.62x39 from everywhere.

This could be a big win for US ammo manufacturers, but probably not good for us AK platform people.

Yeah...but that will go overseas....


And more likely, they are cranking up .223. Because that is what all those AR's we will be selling them use.

If you AK guys run out of ammo it serves you right for not buying American.

Like Glock, Sig, HK.... :?
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot weather this storm". The warrior replies, "I am the storm".

Plus - a lot of non-russian countries export 7.62x39.

But watch them gouge or us stop importing it.
