What the fuck is with the fucking ammo prices for 7.62x54r?

I literally just bought a moist nugget and now you're telling me ammo cost as much as my gun?

FUCKING SHIT

I've got a 1943 in good condition with a bayonet and 440 round spam can. How much you think I could get for it? I'm tempted to sell it while the market is high priced

200 for the gun and 150 for the can

Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with them and they can be great fun, but buying one simply because LOL MOIST NUGGET AMIRITE SLASH KAY SLASH WILL FINALLY LOVE AND ACCEPT ME NOW is fucking foolish.

I fell for the nugget meme too. Worst rifle I ever owned. But, at least I didn't get put over a barrel for it. Narrowly missed the k31 price jump, thinking about grabbing another SKS before they go bananas

I'm so glad my brain overrode the dank memes from the chan when it was time for me to buy guns.

Started with an AR build and a Glock and never looked back.

Die.

>>29361748
Nuggets were only awesome when they were cheap, mostly because they were cheap. It's supposed to be a fun rifle because it's like a musket, difficult to load and feels like a cannon in your hands.

Considering the prices now I think I'd actually just get a black powder musket over it... In fact I'm now in the market for a musket, fuck yeah.

Hey guys, why won't you just try reloading the nugget food instead of straight up buying it. It's usually more cost effective

Ammo prices probably won't go down until the war in Ukraine ends for good and the Syrian civil war end. Last I heard, they were where all the 54r is going.
But even then, ammo made by the mid 80's isn't importable because it's mild steel core which is technically AP ammo.

Steel casing can still be reloaded, m8. Not as often or as easy as brass, but it can still work.

Is this your first non-.22lr rifle or something? Welcome to the world of full size rifle cartridges, boyah. Call back and bitch when you're shooting 7.7 Jap or 8mm Mauser and then we'll listen.

And now you have another addition to your collection. Why are you bitching again?

Do you shoot your Garand? .30-06 is still significantly more expensive than surplus 54r.

>people ITT smugly talking about how they don't have a Mosin

When did NOT having a particular gun become a good thing around here? Holy fuck it's just $200, everyone should have a nugget just for meme value alone.

And if the measly few hundred bucks you spent on a nugget and ammo is actually impacting your finances or stopping you from getting other, better guns, you are so poor that you should actually consider suicide. Real humans can afford to spend a few hundred on a lark just for giggles.
>>
>>29366444
This, it at least was a gun everyone should own one of, at least up until all surplus ammo jumped to 40c/r.
I was shooting 54r for years before buying a nugget, and I actually really love my nugget even if it's nowhere near as mean looking as my psl. It's just a fun rifle.

It's already happened. I bought 2 Russian SKS in the last year for 450 and now they're up to 600 at the last few shows and stores I've been to. I'm willing to bet yugos will run for 500 in the next 6 months. Buy them now, I own 4 total.

For fuck sakes... I mean good for you. But I remember when you could get a nugget and a spam can for around $150-175

I paid $110 for the nugget and $100 for the ammo some years back. It saddens me too, but that's where the market is at right now.

I can get 20 rounds surplus x54r at my LGS for $8.
Academy sells Monarch x54r for $10 a box.
Fucking Walmart sells Tula for $12.
Ammo is not a problem.

>>29361748
Nigger you used to buy nuggets for $89 and buy the cans for the same

Nothings changed
>>
>>29366412
To be honest I'm mainly bitching because the price was unexpected

I expected my enfield and garand to shoot dollars but never expected to shoot 80 cents worth of "cheap" Slav shit

But oh well
>>
>>29361748
$140 for 440 rounds is average compared to a lot of rifle cartridges.

how are you so poor you can't afford 30 cents a round?

It's like 21 cents at Sportsman's guide. Just get a free one month membership there, buy your ammo and cancel membership after.

What the shit? When did this happen? I know I don't shoot x54r that much so I can afford new production ammo, but this sucks.

I just bought a new M39 too.

I purchased a 1942 war time production Finnish M39. I only feed it modern non-corrosive steel case and brass cased 182 grain.

So glad I saved up a couple of bucks for a Finn instead of jumping on the 91/30 wagon.
>>
>>29370971
do you shoot x54r or x53r with it?
>>
I shoot primarily x54r with it due to it being a VKT "D" barrel.

I'll try and experiment with a wider range of ammunition once I invest in some re-loading equipment.
