Misc Where has all the surplus 7.62x39 gone?

Is the lack of availability in spam cans a result of everyone concerned with the SKS continued legality, a result of the Ukraine war, a lack of stock, or another/mix of the above?

I’m just trying to get some cheap spam cans man.

Basically yes, what was coming in as surplus is now being used in Ukraine, so those surplus spam cans aren't making it into Canada in the same (or any) amount as before the war. I don't believe it's linked with the fear of it being banned.

The lack of SKS would, but I don't think the ammo would be affected THAT much.
