Quote HistoryQuoted: I traded a guy a box of .380 for 9mm today. Dunno how I got the .380; guess it just got mixed in somehow- new S&B in the gold and black box. Anyway, got a box of Fed. Champion 115gr brass for it. The price on the back of the box of 9? $33.99! And it ain't a new box either... That's odd. I got a case of that from Natchez 3 months ago for 27cpr (30cpr delivered). It's nothing special. It's just brass cased plated FMJ.  Funny thing is I jumped on that deal when I saw it here because people were so excited about it and then felt like a sucker for paying so much for 9mm, especially when I didn't need any more. I've gotten over it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dsgarms.com has them Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: From what I am seeing the magazine run hasn’t started yet. Your average person who bought a gun in the last six months doesn’t value multiple magazines. Especially when they can’t find ammo to fill them. I can’t seem to find aluminum 5.56 mags from the reputable dealers for usual prices. Dsgarms.com has them Do you or does anyone know off hand who makes the mags for them? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Seriously though... ** right now ** would be a perfect time for investors to start up an ammo component manufacturing facility. Primers in particularly. Just load the basics like 5.56 and 9mm to start, then branch out. Supply and demand. Competition. Get 8-10 guys, pool together some progressive reloaders, start cranking out ammo. The major hold up would be the manufacturing of primers, then powder, then projectiles. 5.56 and 9mm brass can be found anywhere. You should absolutely do that, since it's so simple. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Most won't live long enough to shoot through their ammo forts. If you aren't fit for combat then stacking deep for an alien invasion is useless. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: For the Great Boogaloo that's why. Most won't live long enough to shoot through their ammo forts. If you aren't fit for combat then stacking deep for an alien invasion is useless. An old Jewish dude in California’s preps for fighting tyranny circa 1995 was a box of old revolvers and several boxes of ammo. He had no plan to fight fair or hide in woods, in sewer system, or on a roof top. His attitude was simply ‘too old for that’, if the shit hit the fan his plan was he would just walk and give his enemy a cylinder full and walk away leaving the gun behind, or simply die right there. |

For the past couple months, that is all that has been on the shelf, and it doesn't look like they have sold any. Doubt they even have a rifle in the case in that caliber. Oooooh! I LIKE the swift!

Quoted: Local Academy Sports, Cabelas, Gander and most LGS are out of everything and nothing has been delivered in two weeks. Walmarts are down to 28 gauge shotgun shells. Before the new year all of these places would get random shipments and it would be gone fast, but they were still getting SOMETHING. On local dealer says he’s on hold while distributors reevaluate pricing schedules, again. Gun inventory, same story, Same here, even though the 28 gauge stock between my local Walmart and Academy is almost gone as well. I was talking to a detective of a neighboring small town PD and he said their department can’t get ammo. It makes me wonder where it’s all going. |

Every month of 2020 was a new record high for that month. There were more NICS checks in December than any month ever. 40% of buyers were newbies. 8.4 million first time gun owners are scrounging for ammo. |

I waited 4 months before they just summarily canceled my order of 223 in the spring. Sportsman's guide is BS. Never count on them. Sportsmans Guide back orders are like playing scratch tickets- almost always losers, a few small wins here and there, once in a while a decent win. Bastards cancelled out lots of my backorders the last panic, after I wasted time every month or so re-confirming that I still wanted the ammo. I didn’t even bother this panic with them for that very reason, figured it was a waste of time, and their prices were not that great at the time anyhow. However if I had known things were going to go this crazy, likely would have done it and spun the wheel just in case they delivered.

Quote HistoryQuoted: People will buy guns even if ammo is $3-4/round. First people will believe that chances favor grandfathering of what they own or that they can cache the gun. Ammo price will not be a factor for those buyers. Second most of the people buying guns that don't have ammo already will say ok that's just the price of admission or don't know last year at this time ammo was cheap. These buyers are cool with 50-100 rounds for their arsenal. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: If the ammo manufacturers don't add capacity, I suspect gun sales will crash soon.

Most guns are sold to people who already own some, and many don't have a deep stockpile of ammo. I've already heard from numerous people that they have put off a planned gun purchase, since they can't buy ammo. |

Which might just be an excuse to save money for other gun things. Pistol ammo on a single stage takes 3 pulls per rounds. I don't have that much time. So I take my time and get three times the output. |
