    I'll be honest here... I bought more than I "need" and seeing the crazy prices ammo is going for I'm really tempted to sell a bunch on gunbroker. I hate being a gouger, but hell, I could make enough off the profits to almost pay for a new truck... that's hard to ignore...

    If you have enough to shoot a desired minimum amount from that type of gun for the rest of your life you "have enough".

    So if your 50 and imagine you could be shooting until your 80 100 rounds of 9mm a week average you'll want 150K rounds. 100 rounds a month 36K rounds. 200 rounds a year 6K rounds.

    Do the math and get what you think you'll need in those calibers. And do it this past January. Store it well. Or do it if the market ever recovers and it becomes available and is still legal to buy.

    If you have a spouse, kids, etc, you may need more.

    I’ve got a couple of PSA lowers that I got as part of a gun and lower special deal. I built them up and they are just sitting in my safe. Really want to start going with LMT ambidextrous lowers. I don’t even have plans for these right now. Might part with these two.

    We are signing some deals I hope this week, which will give us access to ammo.

    Don't ask me questions, that I can't answer until the deals are signed.

    But I have multiple people working on it.

    I bought more than I need too, of some things...Im practically swimming in AR and AK mags. I think I still have like four stripped lowers that have never been used. Plus one of those crappy polymer 80% lowers with the jig that I know *I’ll* never use, but during a panic, someone might want it. I even have an underfolder AK rifle that I might be able to sell too.

    It’s just my shooting habits that has screwed me on the ammo front. I shot it off faster than I could afford to replenish it.
    I mean hell, yesterday I ended up firing 100 rounds of 9mm at the range instead of the 50 I had previously decided was my weekly limit. So I didn’t help my supply situation there.

    Are there any places that are taking back orders at reasonable prices? Mainly 9mm and 55gr 556 practice ammo? If I can place some orders and know that in Sept/Oct I get some more, that would make me a bit more comfortable doing more comps or taking a class.

    I really don't want to get into reloading. Are primers/bullets/powder hard to come by? I haven't seen people complaining about primers like they have in the past. If I'm cutting back on shooting , I have free time for loading.

    Components have effectively dried up, so yes.
    Primers/bullets most difficult to source at this time.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    How about a group buy for M4C members?


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
