Ditto, but my daughters have an ever-increasing ammunition appetite, the cheap '39 won't hold out long. All the '39 I have was bought in the pre-$100/M era.

Not trying to rain on your suggestion as it's basically a good one. The problem with this, Holetta, is distribution. I doubt anyone wants to drive more that an hour to pickup ammo in quantity, or pay two shipping charges. That means I'm not expecting responses further than approximately:
- Oxford/Kennett (South),
- Pottstown (N),
- Broomall/NTS (E),
- Parkesburg (W)
If they're willing to drive, then no problem. Here's an approximate
map of the area.
The ideal scenario is making a bulk purchase from a business already in PA, and picking it up there. A lot of businesses will discount for ammunition pickups.
BTW, I already have a RFQ into AIM Surplus, I'm awaiting their response.
16Jan07 UPDATE - no quantity discount on bulk 7.62x39 ammo purchases, according to AIM Surplus.
