Russian Sanctions hits Trumps desk

[Soap]

No more Russian AKs, no chance of them coming back. Will this effect Russian ammo as well?

So you should have said "I have no clue"

Here a link since you're living under a rock. Distrubitors are mixed on the ammo. Some saying its being shut off too. I was hoping someone here knew since most are pretty intelligent here. MOST.

[Pawpaw]

I've read about the sanctions, but none of the articles I could find say anything about firearms or ammunition.

Do you have some inside info, or are you jumping to conclusions?

[Oldgringo]

My my, there seems to be a bit of testiness in the air?

FWIW, Pawpaw, Mrs. Oldgringo just asked me what the "Russian sanctions" bill was about. I immediately said, "beats me".

[Pawpaw]

I know. Everything I've read says there are going to be sanctions, but I can't find a word about what those sanctions will entail.

[Darth Paul]

The bill I saw didn't mention firearms or ammunition. Searching for arms and weapons returned hits on WMD in the context of North Korea and Iran. Also a hit on Russia using its natural gas exports as an economic weapon. Nothing about small arms.

Of course there are AKs made in other countries ...
A VEPR forum post said "Century Arms has announced they will be producing Draco AK's in the US "

Century releases ‘100% American Made’ Draco AK pistol
7/14/17

Florida-based Century Arms announced the release of a Draco AK pistol design made completely in the U.S. as fewer models are being imported from overseas.

I imagine there will be more manufactured here instead of imported, more jobs ... hope the quality is decent.

last year i saw VEPRs for $399 after the Obama ban scare went away and dealers had overstocked, now I see $1,600

The Russian VEPRs are in demand

http://www.k-var.com/shop/Vepr-rifles Vepr is 50% more reinforced than a standard, stamped AK rifle.

Imports are still subject to the Bush era ban so it may be more competitive to assemble them here. Palmetto has some nice looking AKs including a set with matching serial numbered AK and AR for less than a thousand dollars.

Wonder if this will put a damper on Russian mail order brides.

I've already got one of those. LOL

The problem is ammo availability, which can be intermittent and tends to be a bit pricey.
