Buy 7.62x39mm Ammo in Bulk Online | Best Prices on 7.62x39 Ammunition
In July 1943, the Soviet Union was looking at the Second World War and looking at the diverse nature of their ammo supplies, wanted to simplify their need for supply. Thus, the People’s Commissariat for Armaments commissioned the development of a new intermediate cartridge for use in a variety of small arms platforms in their military. By December of that same year, the 7.62x39mm was born, and would sweep across the world like a wave.
During the cold war, the USSR licensed and sold small arms, like the AKM, RPD and the SKS, to various players and interested parties in exchange for subservience to the communist party line. Additionally, since so many of these arms were moving all over the place, the cartridge really took off outside of the Iron Curtain as well!
Arms shipments all over the globe were getting diverted and stolen left and right, and before we knew it, the AKM and the 7.62x39 cartridge punched the world in the face as one of the most recognized and loved duos in the world! Both in the view of suppression and liberation.
