Not sure if this is true or not, but I can believe it will happen if it hasn't already...

Products Like Wolf and Tulammo Brand are made in the Ukraine and Russia is taking control there.
Yep, and of course we halted all Chinese importation of AK-47's and all the ammo as well.
We'll show 'em!
How much money is in your wallet?
It probably won't last real long. Should I get another 1000 rounds?
If Putin wanted to piss off Obama he should triple the ammo amounts to the U.S. and cut the price in half.
The only Wolf ammo I shoot is rimfire, made by Lapua in Germany. That is also available as SK. That supply shouldn't be affected.

Just makes me glad I can reload every single Russian gun I own.
And I own quite a few. Like 14 Mosin Nagants at my last count, alone!
I am thinking Russia dumping it's US Holdings (Bonds). We just never know.

Sure why not..
Everyone here is a member of The Sportsman's Guide right?
This is about the best deal going I can find on 7.62x39 and in a can 8) With the $4.99 shipping code, member price, - 2.5% using the TSG Visa, plus easy 4 months no interest... hard to beat it! I probably should have purchased two, but I recently picked up more Herter's and Tula.
The fact they are in sealed Spam cans means even if they aren't used they will outlast me :o

This claim is news to TulAmmo. We called Tula USA moments ago, and they are reporting that it is "business as usual," in their office. Bearing Arms also spoke to several distributors who also said that they are not scrambling for ammo as the various blog posts indicate. None of the distributors we talked to report having heard of any credible information that the Russians would stop the export of ammunition.
Put simply, this is a claim without any substance, and ff looked at dispassionately as a logical matter, the rumored "reverse boycott" makes no sense at all.

This Ukraine matter seem too be going bad. Im thinking on locking in on a Molot Vepr 12 if sanctions occur.

Going bad?
When was it ever considered good? ;)
Well for one thing. The manufactures are stating at the moment it's ok. It's when the leader says no more importation and implement the decree.
