my advice is to watch slickguns.com. there was some 7.62x39 up for a fair price.

but yes for the most part the ammo and most of the handguns and longuns will be the exact same. I can undestand the magazine rush and even people wanting the modern sporting rifles they been putting off getting. but why everything is selling out right now is simply just what people do when they panic. temporaily good for economy I guess...

this isn't by any means teotwawki so all this does make a good case for being more of a prepper. all it takes is some type of panic.
