AMMO? (GUN/AMMO SHORTAGES, DISCUSSION HERE)

IF possible- could you post a pic or two of that Montgomery Ward ammo? I collect old ammo boxes, and Id love to see it.
MAYBE even buy one box?

I going to Santa Fe early tomorrow, but when I get back, I'll go into my ammo pantry and pull some of it out.

Maybe because you were one of those "its just the flu" bros and didnt stock up beforehand?

Thats awesome, brother- thank you so much.

Anyone panic buying ammo at this stage is just Stage 87 Retarded.

Yep, if someone had bought just a single box of 5.56 every payday over the last 5 years of they would be sitting on 2600 rounds. At this point my grand kids will be shooting my ammo long after I am gone.

I bought Western Auto branded ammo and I believe Coast to Coast hardware branded in NM in the early 70s. I might still have a box of that somewhere..

I managed to grab 1k 9mm and 1k Wolf Gold .223 just before things went nuts. Just range ammo. I make a large number of small ammo purchases throughout the year, interspersed with several larger ones when I have extra funds so I was planning on waiting for my tax refund to buy but ended up jumping on my purchase early because there were starting to be some worrying signs of an impending ammo panic. Good thing too because I got my refund this past Wednesday and if I had waited I’d have been screwed.
I really wish I had managed to grab another 200-300 rounds or so of XM193 to refill some mags but wasn’t able to before things went sideways. I still have a bunch but don’t like dropping below a certain level.

People that have never owned a gun before are the ones buying up all the ammo. I think they have finally came to the realization that in times of trouble your own your own in regards to self defense. I figure once the panic is over and life resumes back to normalcy those folks will probably dump their guns (like idiots) and might be able to pick up some decent deals.

Go to GunBroker and look at how much 9MM Ammo is going for.

J&G has jacked up their prices on 223. Remember the Norma Tactical that was under $300/1,000rds a couple weeks ago? They got it now for a mere $349.90/500rds.

Westernsport has Federal XM193 for $1/round. I have a hard time believing people are really paying that or things are a lot worse than I think.

I'm not seeing that. So far all the new owners have bought nothing but a few boxes. On the other hand, guys who have basements full of ammo are/were buying cases at a time.

My logic has always been I have what I have. I don't panic buy, I don't run out and wait in lines all day, I'm not maxing out credit cards or just spending more money. It is what it is.
