Pallet of ammo
1/29/2012 12:56:24 AM
Well,
I know there must be someone here that can answer the following.
Is there any issue with the Feds and buying a full palet or two of ammo?
And
What sort of price break is there at this quantity.
FYI.
Yes I have forklift and unload from semi trucks and flatbeds at my place.
Yes I sometimes shoot several thousand rounds a week...I have a private range at home.
Looking for buying march or April when a bit warmer out...
Thanks

Transactions over a certain amount (I believe it's $5,000.00 now for DHS, used to be $10,000 per for many IRS flags) are flagged by the DHS and some other government agencies and financial institutions. This may vary with wire/Western Union, EFT, etc. Add the fact that it's a firearm related transaction, and I bet the idiots in power will take a second glance. Stupid, I agree, but if you're not doing anything wrong, let them flag all they fucking want.

No, no issues. Prices breaks aren't going to be much until 100k or so, IIRC, from what Bryan at AIM and others have said.

I remember reading that some jurisdictions had an 'Arsenal Law' proscribing legal quantities.
I have no direct knowledge, but I'd have to look into it before I answered one way or another.

Understood... so long as a SHTF/attack/heightened level of government attention doesn't strike within a certain timeframe.
Although I seriously have no clue on how long he'd be on "the list" for that large of a purchase.
Still though, in this day and age, he's doing nothing wrong.

I have purchased pallets of ammo with no ill effects.
That was post 9/11, but long before the present day - though undoubtedly I'm on all sorts of watchlists anyway, for being an 07/C2 and machinegun owner, and licensed instructor, etc, yada yada.
Restrictions on number of loaded rounds you can store will be a matter of state or local ordnance. Nothing like that (yet, at least) out here in the notionally free southwestern states.

Arrange pick-up at a large gunshow, and have it be in cash....not that I have done any of that.

The guy you need to ask left the country today to look at buying 55 million rounds of 5.56

There was a guy in AK that posted about buying a pallet of ammo last year. Bought it for his friends and him due to their remote location. I think he bought it from Aim Suplus, so they might be able to tell ya about any issues.

Some areas have "Fire Codes" that limit your ammo amount as well.

Their should be no problems. The government only flag deposits over a certian amount if it is cash. If they flagged all transaction over 10k they would have millions to look at a day.

If shtf tommorow, I think the feds might be a little more preoccupied with other things.
For my own shtf purposes, I quite literally keep my truck parked in the garage, facing outward, with all the important stuff ready to go. Fuck if I'm going to be staying anywhere in that neighborhood.

Buy all you can at the next gunshow and bring cash and go back home.

One of my practice partners has a friend who occasionally buys ammo by multiple pallets, to the point that he gets a nice price break. I was informed today that he took the liberty of reserving another 500 rounds for me. It's variable in quantity & bullet weight, but the price is always right. I still have half a case of nice Fed TRU 55 grain overstock/mixed headstamp that cost me less than XM193 during the Obama scare.

I don't know about the pallet thing, but you might try to find the guy on here that said he has 350,000 rounds of .223

It's only cash transactions over a certain amount, and it's been in place for a couple decades. It's about drug money.
If anyone were actually tracking this, there's be a lot of people to watch. You don't need an FTL to sell ammo, just to make it, so the guys buying just to sell at gun shows would have spoken up long ago.

I've bought pallets and gotten price breaks, no big deal.

I'd love to see your purchase orders to see how many "pallets" you bought. I'm sure it doesn't even come close to the average guy.

That is for cash deposits, / transactions - not purchases with a check or loan or credit card.
I have bought a pallet of ammo (7.62x39mm blank) and no one cared or reported it. Bought 14K of 7.62x54R. No one cared or reported it. Bought 10K of .30'06. No one cared or reported it.

Learn to reload and stock pile components. A nice dillon auto would work nicely and you'd be able to make all the ammo you want for yourself. You don't need an FFL to reload, just if you manufacture for others.
