2400 rounds of ....wait for it...M193

Am I a neckbeard?

No, because they're talking about banning M855.

840 - Greenies
840 - Regular

Ordered it from PSA as soon as that thread hit GD two weeks ago.

Picked up a 1000rnds of Wolf for $230 shipped a few months ago...hard to pass that up.

Gratz to 0bama.

Every time he opens his stupid fucking mouth more guns and ammo are sold than the previous record.

And I'm putting all my M855 and the like on Armslist/craigslist/EE to neckbeard the fuck out of it. I'll be turning every thousand rounds of M855 into 5000 rounds of everything else.

ETA: I haven't bought one single round and don't need to. I stocked up when the getting was good in the glory days.

None

I have bought none. I have the components to reload about 15K of it so I see no reason to buy it pre-assembled.

Zero

Bought enough components to load 6000 rounds

Posted: 2/27/2015 4:13:58 PM EDT

[#11]

Zero. Luckily I have about 5,000 rounds on hand. I guess those will have to last me the rest of my days though as im sure it will never be seen on the shelves again much like .22.

Fuck neckbeards.

2100 but most was last week before everyone went beserk. Jumped on a couple deals from Wiedners and Cabelas at under .40cpr. And I bought 400 rounds of 855 just because fuck the man. It'll probably get sold at a garage sale after I die. I like 193 for plinking and target shooting.

3,000 rounds xm193 and 855.

Posted: 2/27/2015 4:59:18 PM EDT

I bought a few thousand rounds of xm855 at pre-panic price. I'm just trying to help the manufacturers and distributors clear their inventory so they don't have to worry about getting stuck with it. I'm a nice guy like that.

Posted: 2/27/2015 5:10:57 PM EDT

200 this morning because that was all that was left

It will go into the fort with the rest.

Posted: 2/27/2015 5:17:03 PM EDT

[#18]

I picked up a 420 round can of M193 from PSA a couple of weeks ago. I don't have any M855 and don't care for it.

Posted: 2/27/2015 5:26:20 PM EDT

[#19]

Technically 2200 rounds but 1200 was canceled on me because their inventory wasn't live so I had to swap to a different company to order a case for a class I have in 3 weeks. I hope they hurry up and ship. I put off ordering until the last minute and got caught unintentionally in the rush

Posted: 2/27/2015 5:26:22 PM EDT

Zero, Zip, Zilch, Nada, None, Absolutely None, Not Even One Round.

5k of wolf

It was time to set up my spring ammo allotment anyways - this nonsense just made me buy it all at once.

It will be shot and not stashed

[#22]

One of my AR's is chambered in 7.62x39 and I bought a shit ton of brass cased surplus when it was dirt cheap. Also have one in 7.62x25 that I stocked up on the surplus ammo also.

So I am GTG.

0. Sold some M855 though. Didn't really care for the stuff anyway and figured it was a good time to get rid of it.

Posted: 2/27/2015 5:40:06 PM EDT

I bought 3000 rounds, but it was only to flip.

I made my profit.

600 rounds of that ZQI SS109 from WalMart last night. Worked out to about $.35/round after taxes, not too terrible for brass cased stuff.

ETA-spelling

Some, but not just me, the boy got some too........

if the price for 855 goes high enough, I will sell some, but doubt it would up here....

1. I don't panic.

2. I don't buy at stupid panic prices.

Posted: 2/27/2015 5:49:20 PM EDT

[#29]

Zilch. I'm sitting on over 8k of LC M-855 and components to load about 5k.

I'm just spectating this round.

I didn't buy any.

But I did a run of about 2500 rounds on the Super 1050.

Posted: 2/27/2015 5:53:58 PM EDT

4200

Mostly ZQI and a few cans of LC M855. My beard is growing in nicely.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:04:38 PM EDT

2000 m193
1000 ss109
1650 m855

4000. then again its bonus time and mid Feb is when i buy all my ammo every year.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:06:52 PM EDT

[#35]

I have not bought a single round.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:08:31 PM EDT

[#36]

520 round tula can for a shooting class next week.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:09:00 PM EDT

[#37]

3200. But not in reaction to any panic. I got the Dick's coupon for the American Eagle M855 150 round boxes for $49.98. So I bought 8 boxes for $428 including tax. Roughly $.35 per round. Not the best price but I can live with it.

Then I bought 2k of M193 for $.29 a round.

Oh, I also have components to reload somewhere around 10k or more of 5.56.

Guess I need to go ahead and get that Giraud Trimmer.

Zero.

Still using up 5.56/.223 I bought in 2006...

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:20:27 PM EDT

[#40]

0. I looked for ZQI 5.56 one time, didn't see any.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:25:36 PM EDT

[#41]

360rnds....

Bought 100 ae223 last night at Academy....plenty in stock then. Saw the news later and thought, "oh shit....better get some more while I still can." Went out today and got 260more all 223 (different Academy). All I could afford. Wish I could say I was like a few of you who have enough to comfortably sell off some.

Don't own any M855 though....haven't bought any of that in a couple years.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:25:39 PM EDT

[#42]

no 5.56 at all.

About 4k rounds of 9mm fmj, which can be had for about 20-22 cents a round right now.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:25:54 PM EDT

[#43]

1000 xm193. It is $40 more today than when I bought it yesterday.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:28:04 PM EDT

[#44]

Haven't bought any since BulkAmmo had the $250 cases of Aussie SS109s a few months ago.

Couple K, but that was right before the panic hit.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:34:42 PM EDT

[#47]

Loaded ammo? Not one round.

Projectiles? 5K of ss109. I can load the damn stuff myself and at 10 cents a projectile too.

I haven't bought loaded ammunition for months, and it was .22LR, I reload for everything else that I shoot. I have plenty of components though.

What really sucks, it has been at least 8 months since I have shot a gun, probably closer to one year.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:42:01 PM EDT

[#49]

none. i haven't been shooting in a long time either. frankly i've been considering selling my guns.

Posted: 2/27/2015 6:42:46 PM EDT

[#50]

I havnt bought any ammo in about 2 months actually. The next thing I'll be buying is my membership though, this place blows without one.
