No Russian ammo?

BogeyB · 08-21-2021, 12:57 PM

I read this morning that the Administration is going to ban the importation of Russian arms and ammo. This does not affect me, but fyi!

I saw that on main gunboards - it said that China ammo / arms was previously banned?

Doesn't affect me either, unless of course if they were going to export P38's / Lugers

I'm surprised that it hasn't happened sooner. It may be one more sanction against the Russians.

I suspect that other countries will step up and fill the cheap ammo void soon enough.

Imports of arms and ammo from China was stopped in the 1990's under Clinton. A shipload of full auto AK-47's were intercepted in California that, IIRC, were linked to the Chinese Communist military resulting in the sanctions against Chinese arms.
