Pretty much all Soviet Surplus ammo I buy comes from the Yugo countries, Romania, Czechland etc.

Most Russian arms and ammo don't come from Russia anymore because theres already been import bans in place on Russian arms since Clinton came into office. These sanctions aren't going to have a big effect on the US civilian firearms market. The only thing we have to look out for is the ban on Izmash and VEPR firearms, and possibly a ban on a few flavors of Eastern Europe steel-case ammo.
I'm not very big with politics or economics or.. much of anything really. Though if I recall correctly, lots of Estonian exports go to Russia. Wonder how this'll affect us.
