Shortages of ammunition and firearms ramping up

I check to make sure everything's good to go and to my surprise hiding behind it are two more stripped lowers apparently I picked up years ago when they were sub $50.

Maybe it's time I checked my safe a little closer...

I'm not sure how many spare lowers I have right now... used to just pick one up when I stopped by the LGS and if the BGCs were running fast.

I searched last night and magazines are still readily available, which is slightly encouraging. I think that spare mags/lowers/firearms/armor? should be priority if you have an emergency ammo stash.

Optics, mounts, and gear probably aren’t going anywhere, with the exception of night vision. Some ****o politician will decide that needs to be on the ban list

So many places have mag limits now, the market is smaller, and it has been saturated for 15 years now.

PSA still has lowers and LPKs. BCM is sold out of pretty much everything, same with Grant. I'm not really in the market, so I haven't done an exhaustive search.

We have been working on it feels like forever, but I am guessing a little over 3 weeks. We are negotiating with multiple sources, but everyone is in the same boat with Corona reduce staff, so things take longer.

Ammo factories are shut down or working with reduced staff in many places.

Having said all that, we are hoping to have deals closed by the end of next week. Then I need to work on import issues.

Big thumbs up to you! And thanks for your time and effort into doing this.

Yoni, many thanks for working you resources on this. You are the man!

Stop, I post updates to keep people informed not to get thanks.

Thanks are not due until the mission is concluded.

Also I am doing this for two reasons, first more ammo in the hands of the correct people now is a good thing.

Second I am doing this to make money, and to keep my mind working. Corona has had a very negative effect on all our contracts. No different than every other business man.
