Better google some more there mate....


There IS some American made 7.62 x 39. It is not suitable for warfare.

1. It' s too expensive. Brass case. Box primer. Reloadable. ( unlike Communist bloc produced which is steel case, berdain primer)

2. It is not FMJ. Not "legal" for use by convention.

He might be able to score some from the Chinese - but only if they don' t side with the Russians....

I took your advice and did some more googling. I found this:

If American-made is not FMJ, I have to wonder why they’re advertising it as such.

I don’t think the expense is really an issue. Even if Childress pays for it out-of-pocket - as opposed to the company paying for it - the cost for the rounds alone would be less that $1 million. If we add in permitting and transport costs (and I have no idea what those would be, but let’s triple it), it’s still a tiny fraction of Childress’ net worth.

Since Childress sits on the board of a company that makes ammunition, I don’t see why he would need to ‘score some from the Chinese’.
