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.

For Soviet/Russian surplus it should be pretty obvious. Chinese surplus is getting stockpiled by China aligned groups in Myanmar/Burma in preparation for the (next) time that the tatmadaw breaks a ceasefire, and they buy a lot more ammo at a much lower shipping cost than we can.
