That's a great suggestion for Eastern MA folks, unfortunately Rileys is 200+miles round trip from his home.

I just picked up a 640rd Wolf spam can at Cabelas for $125, the 500rd cases that come in the "dry boxes" are the same price IIRC.
ETA: Wolf ammo and all other new Russian ammo has always worked great in my AK.

Don't buy wolf it is shit......![[popcorn]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/043.gif "Popcorn [popcorn]")
Yeah, I've probably put 6 cases (6,000 + rounds) of that stuff through my Romanian in the past five years and haven't had one missfire, hangfire or squib load. Yup, real shit....
I stove pipe once in a great while using Wolf in an AK and thats considering a 1,000 round case with maybe 5 instances.
I don't advise using it in an SKS because I've had quite a few rounds have a hard primer strike and not go off until a second time, plus a good number of rounds would stove pipe and this is in multiple SKS rifles from my collection.
It is fine for an AK though and thats all I shoot Wolf through.
Oddly enough what I figured to be the crudest and lowest quality ammo, which is Romanian Hotshot, functions fine in all my 7.62x39 rifles. Odd because it has runs on the laquer coated casings.![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
You can get the Romanian in 700 round tins from the NY ammo guys at the gun shows for about $140.

Not sure if you can get this delivered in MA but last night I purchased a 1000 rounds of Golden Tiger 124g at $199 delivered from ammoman.com

You might give Avid Sports a call. Good folks to deal with out there on rt. 20 - no idea how his stock/prices are on 7.62x39, but might be worth a shot. They're located way out on rt. 20 a mile or so from the NY line. ...And about a mile (the other way) from mi casa. =)
Nice folks to be sure and though I haven't tried to negotiate ammo prices, the ammo I have seen was stratospherically priced....
Saw the stripper clips on Monday. He had some Garands in stock too. No Aks though ... [sad2]
I stopped in on Saturday looking for an AK. Nothing in stock, but he opened up the door for my son and I (we arrived a few minutes after closing). I'll definitely be back when I have some time to browse.
