price check 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r

[Bronsonbull]

Getting a Mosin and an AK. What should i expect to pay for 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r ammo. Looking to get some tins to store away. Any recommendations on what type of ammo and where i can get it the cheapest? Thanks.

For surplus x54r, about $80 a 440 round tin. For surplus x39 expect to pay about $.21 a round. Commercial x39 will run from about $.20/rd to about $.30/rd depending on brand for the imported stuff. Your best bet will be to get a small amount of anything you find and try it, then stock up what is best and available. When you do decide what you want, do some shopping around as shipping can vary greatly depending on your exact locale. In x54r I prefer Czech light ball (good luck finding it) and Yugo heavy ball, both seem to shoot at least acceptable in most rifles. In x39 I like Brown Bear. Be advised that all surplus is either round is corrosive so will require a little extra firearms cleaning immediately after shooting.

Our Catalog

I've rarely seen their prices beat. You have to send them a copy of your photo ID, but it is worth it. Shipping is reasonable and quick.

That is AimSurplus's Catalog. I am in no way affiliated (I wish I was though)

Actually with Aim you can register for an account and not have to send a copy of a photo i.d.
Widener's is the same, and is another place the OP should checkout.
Also look at Centerfire Systems, Copes Distributing, Southern Ohio Gun, Palmetto State Armory among many.
