Ayoob: More on gun/ammo availability in coming months.....

[chads7]

I wish Wally World in Lafayette carried bulk ammo. No Go here. I'm looking for a 1000 round case right now and I gave up and checked out the forum because every place that I know of is sold out. Well there was one place selling 1000 rounds of XM855 for $400.00. No thanks. The cheapest I found the 55 grain was $311 but they were sold out also.[/QUOTE

Talk to someone in sporting goods to see if you can order bulk. I know a co-worker gets his .223 in bulk from wal-mart.

Is it too late to stock up on 12 gauge and 9mm?

I don't know if it counts as an inside track but I visited an ATK Facility in the midst of the post Obama the sky is falling run on guns and ammo. The factory had a Mil side cranking out 855 at full capacity. On the Civ side 1/3 of the machines were idled and covered. When a Company like ATK is making record profits and there is a shortage of their product in the market why would they do things differently. Ayoob is a jackal because he lacks original ideas. He takes the ideas of others and re packages them as his own often times ignoring factual basis that contradict his information.

I saw at Academy they had A case of 55 grain for $400. I'm sure someone will pick it up

Yes it was in Mo. I don't but the DHS argument. DHS wrote for 450mil because the GAO prohibits them from doing in def quantity contracts like the mil. IOW they have to cap with an amount. They never plan to actually take delivery of that many rounds. ATK may be a bad example anyway because they are making both the 855a1 and SOST Rounds. What's Olin's excuse?

Know what the worst part of that big gubmint order is? When the ammo gets x number of years old, they'll destroy it or have a big range day so they get to keep the same budget for next year (plus the automatic budget increases).

I continue to reload...These i named my Silver tipped werewolf loads...

Those look pretty sweet!

Been slowly stocking since the last shortage, but you can never have enough!
