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.

Just have a look at the map and guess how many of these conflicts are using x39. Suppliers can make a lot more money selling to a two way range than we're willing to pay for civilian purposes
