    I don't know man. For anything gun related if i get a weird vibe I cancel the deal. If you look like a piece of shit or sketchy I feel no obligation to sell to you. Lefty vibe with dreads = no sell for me.

    May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one

    You're forgetting the impact of Covid!

    And 7 million new gun owners who got on board with zero ammo!

    Riots freaked everyone out too and the rush was on!

    I'd wager the internet forum is even more robust now as well and these ammo panic threads are ubiquitous on all gun forums.

    Yes it's not like 2013 which was a more simple panic BUT was inflamed by the same nonsense!

    Thankfully mags are still pre panic prices. I just ordered some DSG Grey Teflon 30 rounders..10 for $98. Didn't need them, but theyll be trade/barter items in the future. Might even order more while gettin is good.

    And I swear Magpul has a golden goose that shits pmags.
    But where is this being bought? On Armslist or a legit vendor? I'd rather pay $1/round from a vendor (and I can possibly throw in other stuff) vs saving 5 cents/$50 total from some private online sale

    That I totally believe. What I don't believe is that people are paying .95 cents a round for steel, but they won't pay that for real M855. Who's buying all this buck a round steel who won't pay a buck a round for M855???

    If it were apples to apples, yea, I get that. But it's steel case vs. Lake City M855. I think pretty much everyone would go a little out of their way to get M855 for the same price as steel.

    But by your logic everything should be sold. Someone has to buy from someone. Ammo is being sold nationally. You're just one guy with 500 rounds.

    And no, for $50 I would still buy from a trusted source. The overall savings aren't there to trust you.

    Put it on GB and see what happens
