FS 640rd Tin of 7.62x39 $180

For sale, a 640 round unopened tin of Herter's 7.62x39 FMJ ammunition. As I have sold my AKM to a friend, there is little point to keep this around my house. I'm asking only what I paid for it,...

Re: logic to using 38+p in a 357?

I don't think a 38+P is quite as hot as a 357. So I guess if you wanted more umph than a 38, but not quite a 357.

Re: What should I do with my AR?
