Academy Sports 7.62x39 for $2.99 a box!
Just a heads up
Someone posted on another thread about picking up some 7.62x39 ammo at Academy for $2.99 a box -
I just got back from there - the $2.99 price is correct -
Its Monarch brand - and from what I have read it is made by Barnaul - they sell under their own brand and also manufacture Brown Bear.
It looks exactly like Brown Bear - which has always performed just fine in my AKs.

Yep. Going by there later today to see if they have any.
For what it's worth, that's all I've fired in my AK and it's good ammo.

BTW they consider a case to be 25 boxes / 500 rounds.

Local store was running low, the clerk said they're clearing it out and won't be getting anymore (?)
Anyhow, they had 144 boxes. I was planning on buying 100 before I got there, but the wife recommended that I buy all of it, so I bought it to add to the 1k I had. I only have one rifle that fires 7.62 so I think I've got enough... for now.
Now I need more .223, 9m and .45.

The next best thing is probably www.aimsurplus.com
They've been having 700 round cans for $129 and 1000 round cases of Wolf for $179

Ammoman is now up to $229 for 1000 rounds of Wolf 7.62x39. Incredible.

I am almost glad that Academy only had 3 full cases when I was there - Not sure I could have walked away and left any behind -

The guy at my store said it isn't a clearance, it is the sale price that will last "through December," and that the stores will be getting more. I want to believe him, mostly because I couldn't afford to clean out all they had at my store. They had pyramids of the little boxes built up on the gun counter, with a sign on top with the new price.

Some calibers are made my PRVI Partisan 
But the 7.62x39 is made by Barnual - I know this is true because I have both sitting right here -
The packing case looks the exact same -
The inside box is the exact same style (only the printing is different)
The inside wrapper is the exact same
The bullet, primer & even the stamp on the bottom of the case is the exact same -
But look at the picture on the Barnaul web site - look close at pic #1 & 3 - I wonder why Barnaul has pictures of Monarch ammo on their web site?

I invested in .223 rifles: Sig 556 and Mini-14. Going to get rid of the Mini. I just dropped $259 on 1k rounds of 5.56 Wolf. Poking around on the internet for the last month and looking at this thread, I wish I'd gotten an AK.

If you talk to the right people they will hold some for you, when it comes in. I got 2,000 yesterday and have a total of 3,600 rounds. At this price It makes me want to get more.
