What does fairly regularly mean? And how much stock do they get? Is it a handful of cases that sell out in minutes or like 50-100 cases? I haven't seen it pop up (searching ammoseek), not to say I couldn't have missed it though.Originally Posted by Disciple

I've been watching Ammoseek and Ammobuy, as well as looking at Midway, Natchez, and Brownells directly. I haven't been cataloging it, but I saw XM193 at that price maybe weekly from July to September, then only two or three times in October and early November combined. I am sure I have missed many sales as they go FAST, even when there are 50 cases etc. for sites that show inventory. It's a matter of luck checking the trackers a couple of times a day if I see the sale. I have requested "Notify me" for a few products and I have observed that stock can appear and sell out without a notification ever coming.
My threshold to buy was $0.50/ea (shipping included) and I saw several sales at or below that but I never managed to get it. A couple of times it went out of stock while I was trying to place an order, and I had another order cancelled due to "inventory error." (The cancellation was Winchester 5.56 rather than Federal XM193 now that I think of it.)

Yesterday (11/12) I picked up a 200 rd box - the last one they had - of Winchester M193 for $161. Then I got their last 3 20-rd boxes of Frontier M193 for $25 each, and a 50-rd box of 124 gr. 9mm+P Law Enforcement Gold Dot for $87. it was either that or nothing. Now I don't want to practice and burn it up!

I personally like to have ammo on hand and won't shoot up all I have.
Of course, the folks who don't suffer from Walter Mittyesque fantasies of civil war and zombies are probably comfortable shooting the ammo they have and just buying more when available.

In the last three months, I have sold 70,000 rds of 5.56 and 50,000 rds of 9mm ammo from my own stash. I am only keeping 5,000 rds of each caliber. Being 69 years young and for the price I got for it and people thanking me after buying it, I have no regrets. Also, more than a few dealers at the shows told me my prices were to low. Everyone’s situation can be a little different, and in my case, I can use a new ride. No payment plan for me, and **after** they sign off on the price, I will let them know I’ll be paying in cash. IMHO, depending on how things play out in the future politically, some things may be easier to sell now rather than later.
One thing for sure is, enjoy whatever toys you have now, because you won’t be taking any of them with you.

70K rounds? Christ.

I would advise you guys not to buy more than the bare minimum of what you'll need at the current insane prices. Over a buck a shot for M193 is insane. I'm gonna be selling off some of my stash on GB, I'll buy up again when it's cheap again in a few years.

People have more dollars than sense in this ridiculous panic. Just to test the market, I posted a case of 9mm Wolf. I got this crap shipped to my door all day and 2x on Sunday for $139. I just sold a case for $490. I almost felt bad....not really. Someone was gonna make that profit, why not me. I could have sold 4-5 cases at that price. So many people kept emailing me to see if it was still available I had to remove that ad.

I think its hilarious you guys say everyone is panic buying.
I haven't been able to sell 400 rounds of 308 to save my life. Even when ammo was getting ripped off the shelves of bass pro, sitting in my truck with an IPSC target that I wrote "308" in tape on it.... nothing...

How many people want 308? Vs 9/556? I'd probably get the same result sitting with a sign of 45-70
