    I know it is not the greatest ammo or the greatest price but if you need ammo right now I saw some at laxammo.com for .65 cents per round for a case of 1000. They had 80 left in stock when I looked at it. Here is the link if you are interested http://www.laxammo.com/ammunition/5.56-ammo/pmc-xp193-5.56-55-gr.-1000rds/50-176

    Thats just plain nuts even at that price. I have some on order through Cabelas and Sportsmansguide for $.33 and .35 a round right now. If people can wait 3 or 4 weeks instead of spending double or triple that. People need to stop paying these prices so these places will start lowering prices some.

    the academy on siegen had enough ammo in stock to fill maybe 5 feet of shelf. It wasnt a must have, but i was out, and could use some so i figure i'd pick up a couple white box winchesters for the hell of it. but it was a no go.

    Man if you really want them I live about 2 minutes from the Academy in Lafayette. I could pick some up for you if they are still there and mail them to you.

    thanks for the offer, but its not that serious yet. I have full confidence the ammo crazy **** will calm down. I was just bored and figured 22 ammo wouldnt have been a hot item to get. Hell they barely had shotgun shells at academy

    I agree I am just wondering how long it will take. I'm sure the popular ammo makers are putting more resources into their 5.56 production however, if some sort of AR ban goes through I wonder what that will do to 5.56 ammo availability? Aren't the AR varients the only guns that shoot 5.56? I know that .223 ammo will still be available because of hunters so I'm thankful for that at least.

    i cant see anything getting passed that will have an influence on ammo. People have just gone crazy right now and they are buying anything gun related they can get. Ive read/heard things about taxing ammo and all that, but they have been saying that for a while now.

    Yes, they have been saying that a while ......but now, they are gaining ground to push legislation. Don't be shocked at the passing of something on the back end of some other bill, and don't get caught without a stash when it happens. The current panic will pale in comparison.

    I just got back from Academy acrossfrom Cortana Mall . Ammo was pretty well picked over . There was a fair amount of .40 cal though . Three boxes of .22 LR (525 rds ) left on the shelf . I bought one just for the hell of it .
