Maxim Defense Has Cases of 7.62 x 39 Ready to Ship
Maxim Defense, the self-described “premiere manufacturer of PDW technologies”, has a large amount of Yugoslavian 7.62 x 39 FMJ and 7.62 x 39 TUI in stock and ready to ship.
Now, this won’t help us in the long run with the ban. That’ll take litigation and legislation to handle. However, it will allow you to keep your long gun (or short gun, for that matter) fed in the interim!
As of this announcement, the Yugoslav ammunition is retailing for $695 per case of 1120 rounds or roughly 62 cents ($0.62) per round. Cartridges are 124gr annealed brass case 7.62 x 39mm FMJ with a Berdan primer. They ship mounted on SKS stripper clips. Buyers keep the case. And the brass, too, Maxim Defense would humbly suggest.
If you don’t reload, someone you know almost certainly does…and unfortunately, the current ammunition ban might lead us to a point where it’s worth messing with the Berdan primers to do so.
If that particular type 7.62×39 doesn’t suit, Maxim Defense also offers its own ammunition: the “TUI” (Tumble On Impact) line. TUI ammunition is a solid copper spun line design explicitly designed for short barrels in mind. They’ll handle light recoil with no sacrifice in velocity, and because of the solid copper construction, they can be used wherever lead projectiles are prohibited for sport shooting. The Maxim Defense TUI SBR ammunition is 117gr SCS and ships 20/box.
