Just placed my order for 1000 rounds from Ammoman.com, you better stock up now while ammo can still be had for a reasonable price. We will be at WAR soon.

It might be too late to stock up now. Check what you already have and make sure it is ready, and like RAF said...dont panic.

Ranger Out

I just placed another order of 1000 rds of .308 from Aim, she told me they have sold 20000 rounds in the last hour, better call while they still have.

I just ordered 1,200 rounds of .223 from AIM.  I wonder if they can even meet the orders already placed.
Somebody want to call?

If you guys don't already have a few thousand rounds on hand at all times, it's too late for you.

When the LA Riots started, the first thing LAPD did was implement an immediate ban on all gun and ammo sales in the city.  People who purchased guns 2 weeks before and had already passed the background check and waited for the "cooling off" period were prohibited from taking possession of the guns they legally owned.  Plus, all those shooters who didn't have any ammo on hand were also left unarmed.  Imagine that happening nationwide.

Last time I bought a bunch of C77 ammo from R-Guns, I took a 1,200 rounds (less than 1/3 of the order), assembled them into bandoleers with strippers and loading tools, then used a Vacuum Seal-A-Meal and created airtight pouches that will last for decades.  I'll never touch this except in case of an emergency.  With my usual shooting stash, I've probably got at least 4,000 of 5.56mm on hand right now.  Plus I also picked up a 1,000 round box of Federal white box 115gr. 9mm for about $120 as an emergency cashe and it's about the size of a shoe box.

This stuff only cost me a couple hundred bucks and occupies merely a small corner in my closet.  But the next time TSHTF, I've got plenty of ammo that will feed a couple dozen of my guns for a long time and I don't have to leave the house to scrounge for supplies.  It's cheap insurance.

So if you're just now looking for ammo or supplies, you're way too late!!!!!

Don't forget powder and bullets to reload.

I think you are preaching to the choir.  I already have just shy of 4000 rounds. I just placed an order for the heck of it.  If there is no sale, oh well.  I will contact AIM to cancel the order, if they notify me that they cannot ship.

Get it while it is there... That's the whole idea!

I think it may already be too late to get whatever.  The transportation system is starting to shut down down except for our virtual/cyberspace.  The ammo companies may be taking your order, but how are you going to get your stuff?  The is beyond control of the Ammmoman's etc.

It is not the time to be using thousands of rounds of ammo yet, guys!  Stay calm, stop overreacting (if that's possible)
