It’s time to stock up on ammunition

Got that very impression myself. SS109 and the green tip M855 in the photo was almost banned by 0bama executive order. Somehow he got talked out of it. He promised to revisit the issue.

If you own a rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO, I'd scrape together enough cash to purchase it in a 1k lot. SGAmmo has some M855 2015 manufactured LC mil surplus from a canceled contract as well as 2016 manufactured PMC (called XTAC).

I was so impressed by firearm and ammunition price increases during the Clinton administration such that enough has always been on hand to "weather" the subsequent storms of price increases and outright shortages.

Imagine if Hilary lands in the WH! She's running on a platform of pushing for "Australian style" mandatory buybacks. It's getting too close to becoming a reality and we can no longer depend on the SCOTUS to base their rulings on the US Constitution. We have until November, or maybe even less time than that if it looks like a Hilary win, before the price increases and shortages begin anew.

 

never ever ever let anyone know if you have extra ammo or supplies ---just my own thoughts

 

Completely out of ammunition myself - spent way too much time target shooting and forgot to restock...

 

Wuz bringin' mine home from across the lake when a giant wave..................

 

Africanized termites.....

 

And I'll bet that giant wave was made by Nessy.

Rancher

 

Yeah, that lizard gets around.

 

what's this ammunition thing you guys be talkin bout?

 

HAHAHAHAHA! Stock up now? Where? I don't see .22s locally at under a dime and even that isn't common. I can reload 9mm for that! There is a fair amount of other stuff on the shelves, but no deals. Nothing I need at prices I want to pay anyway. I might regret that later, but for now I don't see a huge difference between 4-5-6-7 years ago when all this began. My advice is and always has been: buy what you can, when you can, as much as you can.

 

I told everyone how to find 22LR for 07¢/rnd or less. And if you live by Bass Pro or Cabelas it ships for free.

One person here follwed my directions and is now fully stocked

 

Today's prices, while not cheap, may very well be a bargain compared to this coming fall.

 

Usually they are jawin' about that new invention where they put ball,powder, and primer in a metal case. All in one deal, you don't have to even prime the pan anymore. Pretty good invention. I'd shoot one of those new guns if I could get me a boat that would stay right side up on TOP of the water.

 

Although I have plenty of both; I prefer M193 over M855. That is my personal preference.

M193 is a bit more accurate than M855.

A lot of 55gr 5,56 is not M193. If you order, be sure you're getting "real" M193. SS109 (NATO) and M855 (US) are a bit easier as they are kinda close. In either case, the trick is know the Ordnance specification and if what you read doesn't match that specification; find something that does.

 

all I have is bows and arrows --lol and I'm to old to use them

 

So...I'm supposed to run out and buy ammo because some dude that makes it says there might be a shortage? Hmm....seems like a pretty sweet deal for him either way.

 

Just found this on FB. Fits

 

ok one more time for this

In 2015 i used this method to gather my stock of 22 at 7¢ or less. Most of it 5&6¢/ rnd and no shipping charges. I dont even look at these anymore cuz I am set. No shipping cuz i send to Cabelas, Bass Pro or Sportsman for free. Then juat pick up at the store.
