    gonna put my money on SD (Silver Doctors) attempting to fan the flames of paranoia from the present day crisis as a way to make a quick a buck.

    This came up before. The article in your post just offers more rumor and speculation 'from distributors' with no actual facts, especially considering the articles' source.The point is that sanctions make ammo restrictions a possibility, but the rumors will certainly create a rush to buy and a spike in prices to the benefit of those distributors..

    The big question, 'to buy now or not?'

    7.62x39 and milsurp Mosin food were the ammo you could most likely find during the panic. That's prolly because Russia is bringing tons of it to market. If Russia takes their ball and goes home, the price will skyrocket. Not saying that's going to happen, but it not an absurd possibility.

    Actually, it makes no economic sense for Russia to halt shipments. However, I could see BOB doing it.

    THIS - the Russian manufacturers would lose too much money from such a lucrative market. The more likely scenario is the US restricts/halts imports of Russian goods (ammo) as a response to the Crimea escalations.

    First, we get a ton of ammo from sources other than Russia. Losing Tula and Barnaul would hurt, but there's no reason to think that other sources wouldn't pick up the slack somewhat.

    Second, precious metal pimping websites are infamous scare-mongers. I'm looking at SGammo right now, and they've got cases and cases of 7.62x39 left. That is simply not consistent with a consumer-level run on it.

    I ordered 1000 rounds from LAX this afternoon. I've been meaning to get it for a while and I noticed the price is about $15 higher than it was when I looked on Monday. Not much $ when spread out over 1000 rounds, but the price is not getting cheaper.

    I got mine from J&G, 240$ for a 1080 rnd case of Red Army Standard. Granted its romanian and not russian. I just wanted to get a case before any pice spikes happened, didnt really care if it was russian or not.
