Cheapest (Internet or mail) source for military surplus 7.62X39mm ammo in roughly 500-1000 rounds quantities.

Seems like all I can find is Wolf and Bear.

I need something really cheap. Corrosive and/or Berdan primed is fine.

It is legal to in my state (MO) to have it shipped directly to me. Given roughly equivalent prices, probably the closer to Missouri the better as far as freight charges go.

Thanks!

Update:

Just an update.

I had to nix Academy Sporting Goods. The closest one is 235 miles away.

There was nothing on craigslist.

Midway, 172/1000+16.46=198.46 90.00/500/+13.39

CheaperThanDirt 179.97/1000+20.59=200.56

Gunbroker had a few that looked cheaper, but I couldn't find a weight to calculate shipping & had no idea what 1K rounds weighs.

Ammoman.com $189/w shipping

Widener's $149/1000 (Wolf Mil)

I'm waiting on shipping quote from Wideners.

Probably them or Ammoman...

Anybody know about what 1000 rounds of steel-cased 124-grain Wolf ammo weighs?

    All purchases, internet or catalog, will ship ground; if given the choice, I have found UPS(Brown Truck) to be the best.

    I have had several shipping problems with sportsmans guide, who does such a great volume of junk business, they don't seem to care about the individual buyer.

    One place to check with is Eric at Ammoman dot com.

    The price you see on his website is "Delivered" to your door.

    I prefer Wolf for my AK47's and I have never had any problems with it.

    The Monarch seems fairly cheap at Academy but I have never used it.

    I haven't bought any since I bought the last cases at $89.00 a case at the DFW gun show. :-)

    That has been a while though. :-(

    Where I get mine? Academy Sporting Goods. Monarch Brand. As good or better then Wolf.
