I realize that they have been up for over a year, because Syria, Iraq, and Venezuela have each ordered a billion rounds. Does anyone know when their orders are likely to be filled, so that the market price for 7.62 x 39 will be more reasonable? Thanks.

I reciently purchased several boxes of East German surplus 7.62, totaling 600 rounds, for my Mosin Nagant M91, for $60.
While I forget the particular dealer from which I purchesed this ammunition, I found it at a gun show at the Dulles Expo Center, in Virginia, and am very pleased with this ammunition.
Thus, while I can't give you a particular dealer, I'm sure you could find this ammunition at the price you desire if you take the time to peruse local gun shows.
Keep shooting :-)

A big part on the increase in ammo prices comes from the fact that China is preparing for war. China is buying all of the metal that can to build arms. This has driven the price of steel, brass, copper and lead up. Right now metal prices are falling and if this keeps up the price of ammo should also go down. China is a threat to the safety of the U.S.A., they are redesigning there small arms so they will be more effective against body armor. Think about it the U.S.A. is the only country in the world that issues body armor to all of its’ troops. My advice to all of you is buy all of the ammo you can now because the day is coming when ammo will be very hard to get if a certain someone finds her way in to the white house.

A lot of that ammo was bulk surplus. And a lot of it is drying up or going someplace else ("hot spots"). Remember that 7.62x39mm is like 7.62NATO, meaning that it is not as popular as 5.56mm NATO or 5.45mm Soviet in more developed countries. This ammo will never come back down again. I can remember when 8mm Mauser (Egyptian) and .303 Enfield were cheap and in abundance.
Did you know that Bin Laden has an AK-74 (5.45mm)?

All ammo is up, not just the one you mentioned. I was getting ammo at Wal-Mart and in just the last two weeks it went up 15%. I think the price of oil is finally hitting home and companies are recouping their losses by passing the cost to us consumers.
I think it's time for all of us shooters to start reloading our brass.

Sad to say it probably won't be cheap again. Our enemies are stocking up. We should too, while we still can. We should be at least as well armed as our enemies! Even Venezuela is buying 7.62X39.
By the way, 7.62X39 is NOT NATO ammo. That is 7.62X51 NATO which is very close to American .308.

I got a 700 round can recently for $140.00. Look around some more, prices are becoming more reasonable, although they will never drop to pre-shortage levels.

The price of brass and other metals have increased substantially until they drop don't expect the price of ammo to drop.

Try, Never.. seriously, the price won't come down, because metal prices are way up, copper, steel, lead, everything is up.
