Hearing murmurs this is a thing now. Honestly surprised it wasn't done in February, but hey... old Joe is clearly slow.

Other than Guns and Gadget's Jared's livestream a few minutes ago -- where he himself cites the lack of sourcing, I haven't heard of this yet.

I looked into it a bit more and Jim Fuller had some good thoughts. Most of the shit we get is from the Ukraine anyway. This might just be smoke and mirrors cause as I stated earlier most shit straight from Russia has been banned for a few years now. Don’t panic buy.
This is true for the most part. But it will certainly put a strain on an already strained market! And it’s still a slap in the face with that shit they pulled in AStan!
 
Looks like people are starting to panic buy again. Sites like ammoseek is getting pretty slow. You can find what you're looking for but its not a quick search currently. The DDOS thing we had here for a while isn't helping.

You are not getting much ammo from Ukraine (maybe some suplus but not much new stuff), but you are definetly getting some Ukrainian manufactured NVs under different US brands. In general Ukrainian exports of arms to US is almost nonexistent except some systems bought by DOD for evaluation everything else is to low in value to even register in stats , Ukrainian worldwide small arms sales are single digit mio$. Whole of their arms industry exported only something like 112mio $ worth of gear in 2020.
In past Ukraine was a mayor arms bazaar but not so much for new gear but for huge stock of soviet suplus , if you needed to arm folk for war in 3rd world shitholes,Ukraine was the place to go and Viktor Bout (Lord of War fame) made his fortune there.


On their annual military parade you see 3x Oplot tanks , their top model , 1 bought by Ukrainan Military one is for Arms exhibitions owned by Ukroboronprom and the third one was actually built for US D.O.D for evaluation awaiting delivery to US. Things are not peachy for Ukrainian arms industry and to top it all of Ukrainian DOD is now buying more foreign gear

Yeap so all the guys with AKs and Makarovs and Mosins can kiss that cheap ammo goodbye.

possibly. Wait for HUGE import from Turkey in a few months.

this is just a way to get the dumb to spend all their money or use credit because they lack foresight or the “big picture”

The borrower is slave to the lender. They want to make slaves of free men any way possible.

just wait.

AJ told us……..
 
Just curious about the words "new applicants"?...
Either way panic buyers are at it again...

Hi,

It means if your Form 6 looks like this, you can import into USA.

It means if your Form 6 looks like any of these, you cannot import into the USA.

All those Form 6 will be sent back to submitting company to look like this one.

NOW Getting to the real life information you must go back to the Great Reagan era and the VRA (Voluntary Restraint Agreement) that he signed with Russia as part of the "Tear down that wall" deal...


Now to get a direct understanding of the new sanctions (Not some blog source, etc)

Sincerely,

I almost panicked but didn’t do anything stupid until I researched. Watched prices go from 26¢/rd to 50¢ or more in just a few hours and then basically out of stock. Not too worried myself, I hate using corrosive stuff but I seem to have more of that than non-corrosive. I’m not going to stop going to the range, guess I’ll just be cleaning more.
 
Hi,

Pretty much literally translated word for word. BATFE is not even reviewing it any further to determine whether it gets an approval or denial.

Typically only done with something is just horribly incorrect or submitting company isn't licensed property themselves. But all Form 6s that were listed in the system as "Pending" for items subject to the new set of sanctions will know say "Returned without action".

Sincerely,
Theis

Oh, shouldn't be too hard...



...Nope, never mind, that shit ain't happening.


precisely. That shit won’t fly.

i hope those crafty ruskies can repackage and send through Turkey.

at worst this keeps the poors from 2A rights. I’ll still be shooting. Good thing I never took up cigarettes and nice watches.
 
Somewhere in country xyz , repackaging Russian ammo in to boxes ''made in country xyz'' is already be going on.
