M4gery (that I took a Carbine 1 class with) and my 19. Only thinking about another Glock, or possibly a decent AK (as a fall back if my AR failed, and there was not a way to buy new parts or a new rifle). Biggest Fun Show of the year next weekend. |

If you had a full safe than I'd say start buying lots of ammo but since you don't I'd say another AR or an AK.

I know metals are coming down but do you think it will take more than that for ammo to come down too? |

I would by an AK or ammo over another Glock. Nothing against the Glock, but I don't see those going anywhere.

I have a very nice K98 (yugo-fied) that I can fall back to, but falling back to a bolt gun (although extremely reliable and accurate) makes my stomach turn. |

I would go with ammo first. Your existing weapons are useless without it, just like your new gun would be.

I guess the real question,
is it not smart to have only one black rifle or modern MBR? |

You have to be kidding. You are asking ARFCOM that question?  Multiple ARs and ammo. If you have to start somewhere, I would start with guns. If the Big O is elected in November I think we will see a shortage of ARs or an increase in prices due to panic buyers. Get another AR or AK, then work on ammo. |

I also don't see them ever dropping. At least not in the near future. So maybe buying up as much as you can afford right now trumps having more guns. |

Where? Walmart's 100 rd WWB 9mm packs are 19.97, I was buying them for $15.72 a couple months ago. That's a 30%+ increase. When I started shooting 9mm 3 or so years ago, it was $9 and change. |

Ammo.
Wait til later for gun purchases if you are holding out for something. A lot of people are saying used gun prices will be lower next year. Lotta people are hurting for money. |

Buy ammo.
When you buy more guns, buy more Glocks and more AR's. Caliber consolidation > Gun Collecting |

If I was going to get an AK, I was going to try to find one in .223 like the SLR106. but I think for now, I'll just buy some more cases of ammo. |

A baseball bat makes a better club, and you can still use it if you run out of baseballs.

+1000 I just don't understand the idea of buying guns and not ammo, if anything you should never buy a gun if you can't afford to buy a good quantity of ammo at the same time for it. I know a guy who's buying his third or fourth gun, and looking to buy more, but has done no significant ammo purchases. Ammo is what makes a gun, without it its utterly useless. Ammo will be just as endangered in the near future as any EBR, if not more so for a wider variety of reasons. |

I'm squirreling ammo right now, but I am seriously thinking about liquidating some other stuff to get another AR as well. I'm already pretty much G2G on mags.

I haven't bought ammo at wal-mart since WWB 9mm was $10/100 and WWB .223 was $8/40. Having said that, the new CTD catalog shows some prices creeping back down a bit, and some deals are starting to show up online. Unless an Obama victory causes a panic buy, ammo will go down in the next 3-6 months. |

Ammo. If for some reason Obama gets it...they'll be panic buying like we have never seen before. I really want to buy an ACOG and finish--yes finish up my collection, but I think I'll be a buying a few thousand rounds of ammo first. What good is a gun that you can shoot. A paper weight.
