WTS: Russian 7n6 5.45x39mm ammo

[brunop]

EDIT FOR LOWER PRICE.

Sealed tins inside sealed crates with 1080 rounds per tin and (therefore) 2160 per case ($0.42/rd).

$900 per case or $450 per tin. Yes, Virginia, it’s more expensive than it used to be… but there isn’t any more coming, and SGAmmo is selling Golden Tiger for $0.75 and Hornady for $0.95 …

I will cut the steel band on a crate, but I won’t open a tin. You’re paying shipping.

Per usual, feel free to comment, slag, troll, or flame this thread or offer to sell. Also, as usual, make sure you are wearing your Big Boy pants.

I use to luv shooting this junk but both the rifles I had for it went to shit. Adam's Arms gimme a new 5.56 barrel to replace the 5.45 I shot out. I think it was a defective barrel. Started keyholing after 2k rounds or so. Good luck with the sale.

I think this is Russian, only because I see this on the box...

7N6 wasn’t exactly banned, it’s just that it comes from Russia, and after the 2014 sanctions, it was no longer eligible for import. It is hands-down the best 5.45 ammo out there, because the other commercial manufacture projectiles do not match the ogive of the 7N6 projectile, and so the ballistics and accuracy are not the same.

-EDIT- correct information about the ban thing posted below.

I'll take "the Ukraine was part of Russia in 1982" for $100, Trebek.

 

[adam762]

Well yes, actually the ATF did ban 7N6 as they determined it to be armor piercing. Story is correct; that particular crate came from Luhansk, Ukraine.

Not sure what you were getting at. Cryptic is all fine if people get the joke, but there really isn’t any joke here. That ammunition was not made in Ukraine. It was made in Lugansk. That’s kind of on the other side of Kazakhstan from Ukraine.

Wrong.​

Luhansk, also known as Lugansk, is a city in the Donbas region, eastern Ukraine.

Yes, it is spelled 2 different ways, a fact that I noticed when I started to dig a little deeper, and the reason for my edit. Check yourself. There is in fact a Lugansk Russia.

There is no cartridge factory in that Lugansk. Never was, never has been.
