Nice find but it seems like the price is up to $180, still a much better deal than the newly manufactured x25 ammo.

I guess that's good if you already bought gear and didn't buy ammo. Since it's cheaper than the past few months.

But the price is still a good reason to pass on any guns in this caliber. I can't believe the good times ended so suddenly. I can believe I missed it, I've missed everything.

Yeah I'm going to pass on stuff in that caliber.

Unfortunately, with the power of the Internet, cheap stuff gets bought up real quick!

Damn, Got the email at 10:59 this morning and the price went up $45. I don't know if it makes any difference but I have a C&R on file with with them. Perhaps the $135 price is dealer price? Is Century doing a bait and switch?

Well I know you cannot get cheap ammo in this caliber the same way you could in the past but the newly manufactured 7.62x25mm ammo doesn't cost much more than 9mm. However this ammo will cut through ballistic vest like a hot knife through butter, the penetration factor is good enough reason to still buy pistols in this caliber especially since you can get Tok's, CZ-52's and M57's in the low $200 range. Let me put it this way if you want something in pistol forum that will work against armor this is your best bet unless you want to pay ungodly amounts of money for F&N products chambered in 5.7.

I think it might be a dealer price or maybe demand is so high they're starting to gouge on the price. I just checked J&G sales and they're starting to get Surplus 7.62x25 ammo and Wolf has just now started putting ammo out in this caliber: http://www.jgsales.com/index.php/amm...8a12154db2fb66

Price is up compared to the past but hopefully this means in the near future our choices for cheaper, bulk 7.62x25 ammo will increase.

Wow.. so high compared to a year ago..

Hopefully the importer gets a big shipment in soon.

Last importer I talked to said it want the supply... it was the American Dollar. Seems buying power overseas inst as good as it used to be.

(Coming back from a trip this April to Japan kinda proved that)

I give it 6 months or so max before I get to tell all you "omfgzorz the sky is falling Tokarev" guys "I" "told" "you" "so".

Watch.

It will be back. They said you'd never be able to get your hands on .223 for less than .50c a round or more. 7.62x39mm was selling for $300 a case back in 08/09. It was MIA. OMG... what a panic.

Now I can get it for .17c/rd again.

Ammo is cyclical. Buy it when it is available to shoot through at least a 6 month period. It will be back. It always comes back. It may not be $100/case of 1280 shipped cheap like it was. But it will be back at a reasonable cost soon. This shit is still stacked to the ceiling in the arm pits of the world. It isn't much use to them. It will get sold.

Shoot your other guns more, and just wait. When it comes back, actually buy what you NEED this time so I don't have to listen to you guys whining...

That's good to hear but didn't you sell your 7.62 Tok AR-15 off?
