7k is decent I would think.
But it also depends on how often you shoot them and if you reload any brass stuff for practice. If I just shot AKs I could streatch 7 k two years I think so long as I don't bumpfire drums. RTG also,has the 20 pack east german mags 30 or 40 rounders 99+ tax & shipping. Warning though I have two AKs they don't fit. |

I'm heavily invested in 5.45, so I need a lot more 7.62x39. I have maybe 2k? 7 to 10k is a good start for any caliber IMO.

How much can you carry and still run?

How much can you shoot in a 5 to 10 minute engagement (assuming we've switched focus the SHTF).

I am at a point that I am comfortable in the amount of ammo I have in each caliber I mainly shoot, but I continue to buy it anyway.
I am trying to resist new gun purchases going forward, and focusing on ammo/accessories. 5.56, 7.62x39, 308, 9mm, 22lr, and 300blk. I try and buy a 1000 rnds of one of these calibers a month. Not every caliber, I choose 1 or 2. I have other calibers as well, but not in the bulk numbers that I have the main calibers listed. I have also started buying the suppressors for each caliber as well. So far I have 22lr and 30 cal and I want to fill in the gap. I have yet to get into the QD mounted and still do direct thread. I need to learn more about the subject before I make those purchases. For me I guess you could ask how low would you be comfortable going with ammo on hand before you stopped shooting. I think that number would be around 3k rounds |

I think with ammo it should be how much can you keep on hand instead of how much should you keep on hand.

I have some ammo. No idea how much.
7000 rounds would have been ~4 months of ammo when I was competing with the AK. |

My AR15 is my SHTF gun. So, I shoot my AKs for fun. I’m 62 now, I think 7k rounds should last me until it’s time to go to heaven.
Even though I like my ARs better, those Zastava M70s were a great purchase. I can see why people go all in on the AKs. |
