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.

I wouldn’t say a concern of the SKS, but more so limited options means the SKS has been super popular and as such the ammo has gone “dry”

Thankfully Red Box is still relatively affordable at 11.99 a box.

is it actually non-corrosive? I saw on another post that some 7.62x39 ammo is falsely marked that way and i can't remember if this was one of them?

Yes, Norinco Red Box is non-corrosive, they switched over to a new formula about 10 years ago?
