Russian Wolf brand 7.62 X 39 Hollow Point ammo comes at a pretty good deal. You can get tins of this (640 rounds) for around $170. These “spam cans” are great for storage. Wolf actually sells a few different types of ammo in these spam cans. Of course, that is if you can still find some. Ammo has been selling like hot cakes lately. If you’ve been looking at surplus guns, you’ll know that AK-47 and Yugoslavian SKS rifles are very popular and guess what…they both fire the 7.62 X 39 round. So if you can find some of this and own or are going to own an SKS or AK-47, buy it up.
I have found where you can get some of these spam cans of ammo here.
By now you probably already know that .223 Remington and 5.56 X 45mm are the same shell. Well, actually, they are not. One has a thicker brass and a little more combustion pressure, but as far as fitting in your rifle, headspace, etc., they are the same. Just don’t try to fire a 5.56 x 45mm shell in your rifle if it is chambered for .223 Remington. Firing a .223 Remington shell in a rifle chambered for 5.56 x 45mm is okay though.
This ammo can come in a military style tin in 500 round amounts similar to the picture. it is a good ammo to stock up on if you have a traditional AR-15.
I have located a place where you can still get this in the Wolf ammo 500 round tins. It is 55 gr. Full Metal Jacket and you can pick it up here.
This ammunition is the 7.62 X 54mmR surplus ammo out of Bulgaria. You can usually get this in 440 round tins or 880 round crates (two 440 tins in a wooden box). This ammunition is corrosive to your gun but that is not all that bad! Basically, all you need to be aware of is that when you are done shooting with this ammo you need to clean your gun with soap and water. You really just need to run a couple of patches up and down the inside of the barrel that have soapy water on them. This will counter-act the chemical that makes these rounds corrosive. So, no, cleaning your gun with regular gun oil afterwards will not counter-act the corrosive ingredient. It must be soapy water. Some people say you can use Windex but that is a rumor I have heard. Then you just clean your gun with gun oil like you normally would.
This ammo is mainly used for the Mosin-Nagant rifles.
SOG Specialty Knives SE-37 SEAL Team Elite
This knife comes in at a little over a foot in length. I really like the finger grips in the handle, it makes for a good firm grip. It comes with a serrated edge and the tang extends slightly out the back of the knife to be used as a blunt weapon or to break glass. As to the weight of this knife, it is only 1 oz. less than the Gerber LMF II.

This is the Mossberg 500A 12 gauge shotgun with a 20″ barrel. It will hold (5) 2.75″ shells or (4) 3″ shells in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber. It’s a pump action and is a nice shotgun to own. This is the one I own and is strictly for home defense. I am not much into bird hunting so I don’t have an assortment of shotguns. My wife just feels more secure in a house with a 12 ga pump action shotgun that she knows how to use for security.
I picked up one of these shell bands that goes on the butt stock of the gun, and loaded it up with extra .00 buck shot shells and hang it on a couple of bicycle hooks in the closet above the door. I’m sure there is more to say about this shotgun but what do you really need to know? Point the pointy end at the zombie, squeeze trigger, pump, repeat as necessary.

The Yugoslavian M59/66 SKS is based on the original Russian SKS 45 and the quality is pretty close to the same. It fires a 7.62x39mm round and has a 10 round fixed magazine capacity. It usually comes with a 22mm NATO specific grenade launcher, flip-up grenade sight, standard SKS front and rear sights with flip-up night sights, and a folding 11.5″ bayonet.
These are nice rifles to have and still in abundance. I would say they are pretty cheap but folks, in the last 4 weeks I have watched the price of this rifle go up $300 (from $189 to $489) at my local gun store and he can’t keep them in stock. If you can get it and want one, get it now!

This is the Mosin-Nagant M91/30. It fires a 7.62x54mmR round. These rifles have been used in many conflicts since 1891. They are still used since they are very rugged and so many of them were produced during WWII. A friend of mine picked one of these up recently and it came with a bayonet, sling, a double ammo pouch, and an oil can. I haven’t had the chance to fire this one yet, but I hear it is a lot of fun and is comparable to firing a .308.
These can still be picked up pretty cheap (under $100 in some places). If you are looking for a cheap, but good military surplus rifle, then this is it. Just ask anybody who remembers when M1 Garands were a dime a dozen if they wish they had bought them when they were as cheap as this rifle and I bet you will get a resounding yes!

The Romanian WASR 10 AK-47 is a variant of the Russian AKM with a Romanian made receiver. It fires the 7.62x39mm round so ammo can be pretty cheap when you buy it in bulk. I don’t personally have any experience with an AK-47 but from what I understand, you can pick up all kinds of accessories for it. There are tons of arguments around the web as to what is better, the AR-15 or the AK-47, but that is for you to decide. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, so do your research and decide for yourself if you are on the fence.
Of course, there are some people that get an AK-47 to “compliment” their AR-15 (or vice-versa), but this website is about survival. Think about it, if you have the money and the need to buy both, why not just buy 2 of the same caliber so that the ammo you have is interchangeable?! I can be as much of a gun collector as the next guy, but if you are planning on keeping the zombies at bay, you may not want to have to worry about keeping ammo separate….I’m just sayin’.

The AR-15 is basically a platform for assembling a rifle. It is really versatile and can be a lot of fun. The AR-15 in its simplest form consists of an “upper” and a “lower”. The “upper” consists of the upper receiver with the bolt, the barrel, the gas block, the handguards, and any other items you add such as optics, handle, lighting, etc. The “lower” consists of the lower receiver with the guts (trigger, safety, magazine catch, etc.), the handgrip, and the stock.
The AR-15 has two retention pins that hold the “upper” and “lower” together. The cool thing is, you can make several different “uppers” to be interchangeable with one “lower”. For example, you could make a .22 caliber “upper” for hunting small game, and a .30 caliber “upper” for hunting larger animals and just swap out the “lower” as you see fit.
The most common AR-15 configuration I usually see is with a 5.56x45mm NATO specicfic caliber “upper” (which is basically an M16). This allows the user to fire either 5.56x45mm NATO rounds or .223 Remington rounds through it. The .223 rounds have a little bit thinner brass and a little less chamber pressure. If you build your “upper” to accept the 5.56x45mm rounds, then it should have no problem handling the .223 rounds. The opposite is not necessarily the case.
Another important piece of information, is that the stripped lower receiver is the part you will have to have a background check for. It is the part that is considered the “gun”. As far as I know, everything else can be shipped straight to your door. You can order a Smith & Wesson M&P lower receiver here that is built for 5.56 NATO.
