What's going on with this ammo? I admit it's been a while since I purchased, but why is it so hard to find these days? Is the surplus starting to dry up?

Hard to find?

Sorry, I meant the spam cans at a decent price. They used to be $100, now they're almost $200. Most places are out of stock and have been for the past month or so.

midway has it still at a good price.

this stuff was coming from Ukraine...it's not surplus anymore there, they need it

Ah, that makes sense. Unfortunately Midway is sold out too.

Try Aim Surplus:

I got a can a few months ago from the Sportsman's Guide for $100 with shipping Free shipping.

It's not coming in as much as it used to due to the situation over there. It'll be back somewhat soon.

I may know of a surplus wood crate p/u for $240....

I see plenty in stock, unfortunately it's too damn expensive.

Yeah, that's really what I meant. In stock and a decent price.

I just checked, I've still got 3 crates and 2 and a half spam cans.  ya'll had me worried for a minute.

That's only about $40/880rds more than I paid for it two years ago.

For the PK machine guns most likely...

If you want to buy in person, I was at Surplus City in Trevose, PA on Friday and I noticed that they had some spam cans of it as I went out the door. Didn't take note of the price, and they didn't have much out, so I'd call before I took the trip.

Adios,

You also have to look at what your buying. There's some spam cans that cost more than others. Some is match grade, and some is the really cheap surplus stuff. Sportsmen’s guide is about the cheapest I've found other than OG Farmer. He was selling a few cans for the same price as Sportsmen’s guide. Probably gone by now.

Long gone.

Long gone.

I figured, I bought one from him months ago. He delivered it to me at the last shotgun shootout I attended.
