    Re: Pipeline is opening up

    The only ammo I can find locally is 12 gauge and .45 auto. There is no 5.56/9mm, to be found.

    Keep looking, it is showing up in more and more retail and on line locations.
    Good luck in finding what you need!

    Ammo is harder to find because now there are a lot of new firearm owners - the ones that consider 60 cent per 5.56 round a good deal I get to regale them with tales of how the same rounds could be had for 20 cents each just a few years ago.

    Something to think about.....

    This is the second time in slightly less than 20 years that the supply stream has been interrupted by false / legislated means. It was driven prices upward and caused many to spend undedicated funds in panic buying. It could easily happen again.
    What lessons should we learn?
    Should we maintain a minimum number of rounds per firearm?
    Okay, let's take that thought and explore. So what is a minimum? 1000 rds? 2000 rds? 10,000 rds? Lets go with 10,000 rds always on hand, per firearm. For the purpose of the exercise let's use a household average of 10 firearms, so we're talking 100,000 rounds held in reserve? Add the rounds that you use for practice, duty, SD/HD, training or just plinking. Becomes a lot of money quickly, takes a lot of space and should be properly stored and rotated.
    Excessive? Yes, if the supply stream is flowing and the politicians leave legal firearms, firearms owners alone. If the stream is interrupted again and threatened to be damed to a trickle, then to nothing, maybe not so excessive.

    Your thoughts?

    Coming into my area and snatching up our supply huh?

    Where did you find that 6920 at normal price? I had kind of given up looking for awhile.

    I saw a Colt 6940 in the case @ the local wally world last week and walked out with 1000rds of 9mm late night. $230 for the 9, $1399 for the 6940. The ammo has always been flowing into Walmart, people have just gotten real good at getting at it at weird hours or the employees were hoarding it. SG managers and the stocking people were on to the fact they could make a good deal of cash hocking it online........

    I will be glad when 7.63x51 FMJ goes below a buck a round and when Pmags can be had. I will continue to slowly stock up again after prices settle down, just like I have been doing since 2008.

    Recently a lot of Tulammo 7.62x39 and Federal Independence imported IMI 5.56 M193 is hitting the local scene but 9mm and .22LR is still non existent.

    Prices are a bit elevated maybe a buck or two more a box over pre-scare times but its available.

    I have been grabbing the IMI as its very good quality 5.56 at 0.40 cents per round.
    We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.

    Pipeline is opening up

    My local Walmart had about 10 boxes of Federal 9mm yesterday. This was late morning on a Saturday.

    They also had a few boxes of Tula 9mm.
