I get "daily deals" and "weekend deals" notifications via email from Palmetto State Armory and Red Army Standard ammo was advertised @ $4.99 per 20 rd box with free shipping for 10 or more boxes. I have never tried this stuff and decided to take a chance with some tonight, so I have 20 boxes on the way.

When it gets in I'll try it out in my Russian & AR and let you guys know how they run.
I have never shot that stuff but from what I hear, its some pretty darn good ammo to use. Hope it works out good for you!
I bought some awhile ago, looks good. (but, have yet to shoot it :o). AK Files has some recent feedback, some good, some not. :o
Thanks guys, I'm sure it will work in at least one or the other of our carbines!
Sorry, we made no photos but I'm impressed with RED ARMY STANDARD. We had no problems with it in our SKS carbines (Chinese & Russian) or our ARs. Frankly I don't see any appreciable difference in accuracy compared to Wolf but that could very well be me. But it did burn much cleaner...I like that, but who wouldn't!
I'm gonna get some more of this stuff! thumb1

Thanks for the update Danny. I've had no problems with the RAS either. Mine is also the recent lot acquired from PSA.
Cabelas has Red Army Standard for 4.99 a box. PLUS 10% off for Labor day. PLUS free shipping over 99.00. PLUS if you use active junkey they pay you back 10% .. Got a headach yet ? PLUS you can buy 100.00 gift cards for 85.00 on ebay free shipping.. If you were a penny pincher like me , you could be under 200.00 for 1k RAS 122gr ak ammo to your door
But even without AJ or ebay 1K AK ammo is 224.00 to your door with the 10% off and free ship :)
