I have about 7000 rounds.  Is that decent?

4 Zastava ZPAP M70s

50 Bulgarian mags.

Cases of Golden Tiger....will suck to have to find another brand.

I have about half that in the old ass Russian, stackable wood crates.... I keep that, 3 AKs Maadis and about 100 mags, most in those bags they came in, kinda coated with Cosmoline.  

Since I got bored with AKs, those(ammp and mags) are put up as part of my serious end of the civilization Boog preps....

7k sounds pretty squared away to me.

I have too much.

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).

This thread reminds me I didn’t buy enough when it was dirt cheap

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

This.

I have 5k of golden tiger and 30-35 mags for 2 AKs.

Miss the $150-180/ case days.

Last time I looked wolf was over $600/ case.

I am currently accepting ammo donations, I have less than 1K

IDK , maybe 5 or 6k ? Down to two AK types and a handful of SKS's.

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.

Haven't shot any of my aks in quite a while. Have around 14k. Mostly wolf military classic and maybe 3 or4 k of golden tiger

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.
