The U.S. Army is now looking to stockpile nearly 3,000,000 live rounds of Soviet-era Russian ammo popular with civilian shooters.

A U.S. Army solicitation posted July 18 on the Federal Business Opportunities web site asks for “non-standard” ammunition from vendors which includes:

- 2,550,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm ball ammo
- 575,000 blank rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo and
- 425,000 rounds of 9x18mm Makarov ball ammo

The army intends to store all these rounds in ammo storage facilities at both Camp Stanley in Boerne, Texas and the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky.

As the solicitation implies, the 7.62x39mm and the 9x18mm Makarov are notstandard-issue in the U.S. military or NATO.

Rather they are calibers developed by the former Soviet Union which are now commonly used by civilian shooters in the United States.

The 7.62x39mm in particular is extremely popular with private gun owners due to the wide availability and affordability of both military surplus ammo and firearms chambered for this round, such as the AK-47 and the SKS.

Handguns chambered for the 9x18mm Makarov, such as the FEG PA-63, are common, inexpensive imports.

The desired list of calibers attached to aprevious, related acquisition request also included oddball rounds such as the .303 British and the 7.62×25mm Tokarev.

In addition to this solicitation for nearly 3,000,000 live rounds of Russian calibers popular with the public, the army made a similar request last year for a long-term weapon supplier who can ship both foreign non-standard and obsolete U.S. military weapons anywhere in the world.

According to this 2012 request, the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) wanted to find a vendor who could “reach around the world at any given moment to gather and provide multiple types of weapons and weapon parts.”

      I am pretty sure the US ARMY budget was not intended to be used in such a way as to keep legal weapons and ammunition out of the hands of the American population. Abolish the corporation known as the United States…it serves humanity no useful purpose whatsoever…

    • Corruption Killer

      These sales should be denied by the vendors. This is outright attempt to disarm our right to bear arms. Which also means all necessary items to function. Can we please enforce the laws, arrest these cartel politicians and get the firing squad out!

    • jeffstiles

      Just keep stocking your personal supplies, stay armed and get READY!

    • TombRaider

      This will get ugly, I guarantee it..

    • energymight

      Any manufacturer or dealer that fills this order is scum!! No less traitorous than the ones who will pull the trigger. Do not do it. The money you will make is blood money and you will be judged in the end.

    • I Trust No1

      IF U N troops come here…aka Agenda 21…what caliber do some of the foreign nations shoot? Could we be stockpiling ammo for foreign troops to use? Just a thought.
