I have a feeling its going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Today's prices might seem cheap 6-18 months from now. That sid, Im torn between buying more 12ga and 45acp which I need and dumping money into oil stocks

I was just lookig through my Natchez catalog and noticed all the prices I looked at in the catalog were cheaper than what's posted on their website. Just got the catalog in the mail yesterday.
XM193 is 8.29 a box, XM193C is 7.99, etc. Wonder which one's right? (not that it matters since they're out of stock anyway) |

My nephew in New Mexico was laid off from the copper mine near Silver City. He said they told him it was due to the lower price of copper.
Wonder when this will translate to lower prices for us? |

Heating oil seemed like a safe bet to buy an entire winter's worth back in July as well.... Commodities market and fuel prices are now in the toilet and still dropping. |

AIM Surplus as of yesterday...
Prvi Partizan Battle Packed .223/5.56x45 M193 55grn FMJ 1K for $374.75. Also 200 round battle packs for $74.95. An AIM rep said they should have enough to last through today, whatever that means. |

Thursday, Dec 4, I bought a box of Federal Value pack (100 rounds) of .223 fmj, 55 gr, at an area Wal Mart (West Point) for $41.97. It is the only Wal Mart around this area that has it.

Raise the BS flag if you want, but I've got an email confirmation dated yesterday. I check the site regularly. It showed up yesterday, I ordered some, checked the site later and it was no longer showing. I know it doesn't show up often and it obviously doesn't stay around long, guess I won't bother to post if I see it again. Just trying to be helpful, sorry.

No offense, but if you really talked to somebody at the "retailer" (ie, ATG), then you talked to either a) a retard, b) a liar, or c) that guy who is always wrong about everything. Myself and a bunch of other people on sigarms556.com ordered the same round from them on Dec. 9 like FloridaDog. |

I just got my TAP T2 order this week after the same two-weekish wait.
Yes it was the real deal- except they had carefully cut the lot # portion of the sticker off the outside carton and each individual box. Obviously so their straw buyer wouldn't be found out. |

Copper and lead prices are back down to where they were in 2004 before the ammo price craziness started. BUT! Ammo prices will not reflect the lower material cost until people stop acting like the sky is falling and quit hording ammo! Ammo manufacturers are making a killing. Cost are way down now and prices are way up. When enough people decide that the current prices are BS, realize they will still be able to buy ammo next year and REFUSE to pay the currently inflated prices.....the price WILL go down. Until then....either keep your money in your pocket, unless you really NEED the ammo....or bend over. |

Folks are buying up for other reasons than this. OBAMA BINLADIN is fixing to turn the knife in the buying and selling functions of ammo and weapons. Not to mention the extra tax for it coming as well.
If you like to shoot a lot, learn to reload. If you are just preparing for what is to come, go ahead and stock up. One cannot even order an AR lower receiver internals set anymore. Glad something told me to order several extra replacement parts sets last Spring. MUSIBIKE |

Golden Triangle WalMart on Dowlen Rd has Federal 55grn FMJ 100 round value packs back in stock at $39.97.
They had about a half dozen on the shelf at 9pm this evening, but don't know if they have more. My guess with tomorrow being Saturday it will fly off the shelves like it's been flying of the shelves. |

With the slowing/retracting Economy, lower metals/materials prices, and decreased fuel/transport costs, are 5.56/.223 ammo prices set to fall in the future? I probably did most of my stocking up on AR-15 ammo during the price peak (made worse by public panic buying related to AWB fears, me included). Have any of you noticed any wholesale/retail price drop yet, and what are industry predictions for 2009 in general? Lower priced ammo would be a major factor in increasing participation in our sport.
Thanks in advance |

I ordered two more cases of the 8mm MAUSER ammo from AIM. 1 cent to ship. $99/380 loose packed rounds. Two sardine cans come in a wooden crate with an opening tool.
This is corrosive stuff but, if you clean up right away it should be OK. Use Windex poured from the chaimber coming out the front end onto the ground to get the salt compound out fast. Then, well clean with oil and or desiel fuel on some patches. Go back and clean it with gun oil again the day after. MUSIBIKE |

Cabela's in Dundee, MI has a coupon sale for Federal XM194 (79.99 for 200). Also, they have 1000 rnd bulk case of the same for 399.99. Not the best prices, but decent considering no shipping cost. They had a ton in stock. They also has a ton of Wolf in stock (bulk cases and 200 battle packs).

i have an unopened can of ammo i'd like to put up for trade or maybe sale.. pretty sure it's lake city m855, in stripper clips / bandoleers.. how many rounds came in those cans.. wasn't it 8xx?.. I can't remember. I think I bought it from ammo to go but I might be wrong Anyway, I think I'd like to trade or sell it. Just wondering what sort of value I should place on it. Might just stick it on gunbroker if I can figure it out Thanks |

Walmart also had a lot of .223 in San Antonio for about $10-14 per box of 20. |

I got lucky and picked up close to 1k of it at a local sporting goods store for $6.99 per 20 not too long ago. PMC brass should be pretty decent to reload if you're set up for it. From peoples reports around the country, sounds like you're pretty lucky your Walmart still has anything on the shelves. |
