Doesn't affect me all that much, never was a fan of Russian ammo and would rather give my bucks to the U.S. manufacturers.
Remember Nord Stream II?
Our "President" has done nothing critical against the completion of the Russian gas pipeline through the Baltic to Germany (irony - despite closing the US' Trans Canada Project, and many thousands of jobs). His sanctions probably won't stop it.
That notice by the State Dept. about guns, ammo, advanced weapons is just a bunch of tough-sounding Words (as usual), unless he finds both the intellectual capabilities --plus, If he can remember --and “courage” to take action.
You say that like you know that as fact . I am calling BS until you can back that statement up with actual proof .40% of all ammunition sales in the US are Russian sourced ammos.
I didn't realize there was so much love for Russian and Putin here. It neatly coincides with a love of cheap ammo I suppose.
Have a little faith in capitalism, everyone. Please. Think about this logically. From an entrepreneurial standpoint, this ban is a boondoggle for every ammo producer already in good standing with the US State Department who .
Social unrest and Pandemics don't create the sustainable real demand that ammo producers need to see before they increase production capacity.
Eliminating 40-45% of the US ammo supply creates real demand-- sustainable, future demand-- that incentivizes production expansion.
It's gonna suck for a short time. Supplies for loading are still in a bind because of the pandemic and will likely continue because of the Delta surge. But it won't last forever. And capitalism will pick up the slack when it does.

Without actual proof it's foolish to post one line stating something as fact , that's how rumors start.Dale Alan:
That 40% is the only consistent number I've read on several gun boards. Maybe their figure is only based upon rumor.
I certainly Hope that it is B.S., and is a much smaller percentage than 40, for the sake of those people who weren't able to plan ahead, and the new shooters.
CoalTrain49: the main reason I began storing ammo over several years was due to anticipation that Obama could easily impose a high Tariff on imported ammo, or maybe just on Russian brands.
7.62x39 won't go away. It's just going to twice as expensive and made in the good ole USA by Americans.

I'd say most people who have guns chambered in 762x39, 762x54r, 9mm mak, 545x39. Its cheap, it works, lots of people buy it.
Hopefully this is a best case scenario for most calibers. For 5.45x39 shooters, such as myself, it's likely the deathknell as no other countries really used it. I have a few thousand rounds with hopefully another thousand on the way (so long as my order doesn't get canceled). Once that's gone, who knows where it'll come from.
It’s a shame that some people think we “love Russia” because we’re not happy over this ammo ban. We know it was done to hurt US gun owners and make some kind of statement to Putin. And it happens four or five days after the biggest debacle of all time in the Middle East. The American people don’t need any extra crap to shovel but some how the pile keeps getting bigger thanks to our.......

How many years do you think it will take?
Serious question.
As i see it, There's been pretty consistent high demand since at least 2008 with only a couple years of supply keeping up with demand just before covid and riots leading to 2 record years of guns sales.
Oh, you think the dust is MEANT to "settle"?It won't be that expensive. When the dust settles we will be paying more-- sadly that's what panics do: inflate prices. But we won't be paying anywhere near that much when the dust settles.
