I was born in 1987. There are plenty of you here that were born WAY before I was.
So if you can help me...
I really want to know, how was the availability of 5.56mm NATO, 7.62 NATO, 7.62x39 soviet, 7.62x54R, and 5.45x39 soviet between the 70's all the way to 2000?
At what point did the soviet calibers emerge? How was the surplus market during these times? Did prices rise/drop often or seldom? How often did the amount of surplus ammo disappear and come back all of a sudden?
At what point did rounds like the 303, 30-06, 8mm, etc, start fading away?
Tell me anything else you might know about any other munition history in the US.
