Someone here mentioned them is how I found out. Based in Stillwater and seem to have a good selection. I am getting ready to order some surplus 303 from them if for no other reason then the clips.

Yep, I picked up 500 rounds of Golden Tiger for $110 out the door from them at a Metcalfe gunshow in Tulsa a couple of months ago.

Hmmmm according to the sgammo web site there are 51 products of .223/5.56 ammo and only 21 of 7.62x39. I think Ill stick with my choice of 5.56 being easier to find. It certainly is at the places I shop.

The police and military will get first priority on manufactured ammo as well as components. Steve

Exactly, where do you think I'll be getting mine? My SHTF gun is a 5.56 AK with an AR mag adapter, I'm set.

Battlefield pick-up for the win.

I can think of several reasons not to pick 6.8spc, .30rar, or 6.5 grendel over 7.62x39.

1. The cost of the platforms is more than double what an AK or sks is.

2. The cost of the ammo is substantially more than 7.62x39.

3. The availability of said ammo is far less in comparison to 7.62x39.

4. If you want a new toy then buy an expensive rifle in an oddball caliber and bang away.

5. Better is the enemy of good enough. If one has to defend his life/property then its the small details that are no longer relavant. The basic AK variant and SKS are cheap, fun to shoot and will kill effectively if needed.

+1........ It will be around for awhile

100 yards and in I would want the x39 power vs. .223.

I feel that. And if a fella had to shoot through the woods or whatever too. But above all is availability. Well, unless someone wanted to bury a bunch of it or something crazy like that ;P
