For the past several weeks my internal voice has been telling me that I need to pick up AMAP of this surplus ammo. I do not understand where this is comming from but it is there. Can anybody tell me where I can get some of this ammo relatively cheap? and If I order if online what would be considered normal shipping charges?

    Ammoman, Cheaperthandirt, AIMsurplus, Sportsmansguide

    I picked up a case of 762x54 from AIM for cheaper than anyone, I drove there to pick it up. Only a couple hour drive and I stopped and say the Superformance distribution center in Ross, OH.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

    What's AMAP?

    I buy most of my ammo from Sportsman's Guide. For 7.62x39 is best to get on their back order list and wait.

    Also be sure to use the coupons:

    http://www.sportsmansguide.com/section/section.asp?s=2993

    The coupons will save you shipping.

    I'm sitting on about $6k on 7.62x39 but I like to shoot 300rds every couple of weeks.

    Also have about 1.5 to 2k of 7.62x51. I really need more.

    I find Walmart to have the best deals on handgun FMJ ammo. I've been buying a 100rd pack of WWB 45acp every couple of weeks -- $20. Can't beat that price.

    Ah amap, never heard that on before.

    Hit the link. When you go to check out (if you order online) there will be a section to type iin the coupon code. If you phone in your order, make sure you mention the coupon code #.

    As said before, www.aimsurplus.com usually has some deals on 7.62x51, 54, & 8mm.

    I thougth I saw some deals on 8mm at
    www.classicarms.us

    drobs What would you currently consider a deal? The lowest that I found for 8mm is 79.97 through Sportsmans guide. This includes 20 dollars in shipping.

    I look at ammo like a retirement fund. Take a little money out of each paycheck and buy some ammo ;) or save up a little and buy bulk...

    If that is for a 1000rds that seems good to me.

    This doesn't seem that bad. 760rds for $59.95 (1970's)
    http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=217693


    This is even better: 900rds for $59.97 (1950's)
    http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=207143


    I would treat both of these as corrosive. Then again I just don't trust 8mm to be non-corrosive.

    Jessie Lee, that is a great deal. What are you talking, 7 or 8 cents a shot? Buy it!
    It is corrosive but who cares at that price.
