Watching the ammo fly out the door.
« on: December 18, 2012, 01:21:39 PM »
Yesterday, I figured I should top off the 5.56 stash. So I jumped on over to Ammoman.com and picked up a bunch of 62gr SS109. At the time I ordered there were 650 (750 round) cases in stock. I just checked back on the site and in less than 24 hours, they are down to 198 cases left.

I'm covered but I don't see one single box of 5.56 or .223 available on that site?

Did you look at the bulk ammo ? That's where I found some. Geeze, looks like most of it is gone....

Not sure why the run on ammo....  Mags and AR's sure, but any legislarion that may be coming down the pipe isn't likely to ban certain calibers.  With that said, I have my stash, but I always try to keep those quantities on hand.

There was proposed legislation after the aurora shooting that would've targeted ammo....mostly buying in large quantities and mail order.  Anyone buying more than the 'limit' would've needed licensing and ID.

This is off track here, but, I bought a complete Rock River upper in 458 SOCOM for $750. I looked at Gunbroker and I saw one for $1799 and the other for $ 2799 for the complete uppers only. The ammo, which I have has gone out of this world if you can find it. Same with the Starline brass for it. Ok, back on track, sorry for  :jacked:

Yep, the hoarding has started, and for a lot of people it's just so they can turn a pretty profit selling the stuff when a new AWB passes.

All that matters is that it's out of the warehouse and in circulation.

 :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

Private gun ownership is now at 270 million for a population of 310 million. How awesome would it be if we could get that to a 1:1 ratio next year.
