Iraq war over so now lots O .308??

[Full Clip]

It is standing by for Syria and Lybia.....

You mean Iran.

[Ubermcoupe]

Well the Republicans are massively dropping the ball, and with rumors that he may drop Biden and bring in Hellary as the VP candidate..... Things aren't looking good to unseat him.

Why is this the first time I have heard this... Wow I need to get off here and get out more

[Mamluke]

Heh heh heh heh.... WE AIN'T leaving Iraq bros, we're just changing the size of our footprint and limiting the exposure....

Worried about ammo prices going up?! Well you' ain't gonna believe what will happen to oil prices if Iran influence takes it to Bassra... or building the 'bomb'

Naah, all that ammo is gonna stay where it is at boys and gals .... in the sand box floating on an ocean of oil...

heh heh heh...

I like shooting my Brit L1A1 but it's getting harder and more expensive to
find 762 NATO--especially NON magnetic! Pete

I guess there is still this war going on in a place called Afghanistan...crazy, I know.

[BHPFan]

So now that the war in Iraq is ending there should be a glut of surplus 7.62 nato, right??.
Cuz I'm wanting a PTR 91 real bad

Seriously, I doubt the price will come down and that glut will be more available to all of us. Good 'ole USA will get involved in the next skirmish so it's keeping its own surplus.

The term "surplus" means not used. Anything that feeds a NATO or other allied nations small arms in ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq are going to be in high demand for awhile. Don't expect there to be a lot of "surplus" until after hostilities cease and that could take quite awhile. When they do cease, most of the 7.62x51 mm is going to be for MGs and may well be linked.

Most of the milsurp I've seen in the last few years dates between the 1950s and the 1990s. I think in general "surplus" tends to be 20+ years old and older and is only liquidated to make room for new ammo.

Two wars going on 10+ year duration make use of a lot of what might have been "surplus" in a few years from now. I doubt we'll see a lot of unused ammo coming out of this campaign, it will end up transferred to allies in the region long before it comes back to us.

Don't forget about AB809 passing. I bet rifle prices may spike if alot of people flock to buy rifles befor they need to be treated like handguns and get registered starting Jan 1 2014. Seems like everythings getting worse for gun owners in CA

I bet current prices right now are going to be the lowest it will ever be.

[Write Winger]

I haven't bought ammo in a couple months and just saw a huge drop in the price of M855, like $0.10 a round. Reason?

[2shotjoe]

not really over, were sending 10k soldiers back.

Because it was over priced in the first place. Two years ago people wanted a dollar a round.

[starsnuffer]

I'm sure there are goat herders in other countries that need oppressing.
