Videos tagged with Russian Ammunition Import Ban

This video discusses the import ban on Russian ammunition, specifically Red Army Standard 7.62x39mm steel case. The speaker demonstrates shooting this ammunition through a Century Arms AK, noting its tendency to get hands dirty but also its surprisingly low recoil due to a large muzzle brake. An alternative ammunition sourcing method via Ammo Squared is also presented.

Palmetto State Armory (PSA) is set to begin manufacturing its own steel-cased ammunition in the United States under its 'Soviet Arms' brand. This initiative, driven by the Biden administration's ban on Russian ammunition imports, aims to fill a significant gap in the market, particularly for calibers like 7.62x39, 5.45x39, and 7.62x54R. The project involves significant investment in construction and manufacturing, with initial production targeted for mid-2023 in South Carolina. PSA is collaborating with an external firm specializing in ammunition manufacturing to set up equipment and train personnel, ensuring a domestic supply chain for these popular calibers.
