Picked up 1000rds of Federal XM193BK for $427.99, including tax.
Times, they are not getting any better. |

Times, they are not getting any better. I disagree. This type of booming increase in demand is unsustainable at the current market prices. Seen the price of AR lowers lately? Back down to near pre-Obama levels. We keep learning the same lesson over and over again. |

Back down to near pre-Obama levels. We keep learning the same lesson over and over again. I agree entirely. A couple of months ago there was no ammo on the shelves, now I can find it at multiple places although the price is still high. The next step is for the pricing to come back down. |

Prices may be peaking a little... but I certainly don't expect ammo to be coming down anytime in the next 12 months. Supply isn't ramping up to meet demand like AR manufactures have been.
And empty shelves everywhere, reloading components scarce... only add to the demand. If Federal M193 comes back down to $350 or less retail in the next 24 months I would be surprised... happy... but surprised. I am not counting on it. Edit: Secondly, all the back orders for Federal M193 from the factory with shipping dates in 18 months have been taken in the $0.31-$0.35 per round price range... by the time that stuff ships 18 months from now the price will have to stay in the $400+K range. |

People have figured out that an AR isn't very valuable if you have no ammo for it. The tards with 20 stripped lowers have a bunch of expensive paperweights if there's no ammo for them. |

I wouldn't call it a score, by any means, but at least its ammo you have now. That's how I see it, and I still get to kick myself for not buying more earlier on. I've often thought about how much money could have been made if one had spent 20k on ammo when it was cheap.....coulda,shoulda, woulda I'd still be happy with your purchase, you "may" have over-paid by a few dollars, but for me the peace of mind is worth the extra bucks. |

I dont have much ammo I did buy what I could afford at the time when Troy gave us GOOD WARNING 8 Cans of m193/M855 Thought about selling it and make a HUGE profit Last box of Q3131A was 2.88 a box in IN. around 2001 Last case of Black hills Blue 75gr was 400 even to door I thought that was expensive I wish I bought WOLF for around 99 a case |

Also I remember being at a "Funshow" and buying a few K of Guat. Glad I bought back then. I do feel sorry for all the guys trying to build a SHTF reserve.It costs FAR more today then it did in the "good ol" days" |
