Updated...More Bad News Ref Ammo Supply.....

[george223]

I have ammo I bought at the Pomona gun show. Last year? Try last millennium.

That's funny. I do too. Including, but not limited to, a few boxes of Norinco .223 that happen to be sitting in the front of my ammo cabinet that I think I paid $1.79 a box for, maybe $2.49. Can't remember exactly but I remember it was cheap.

Well that's a relief. When will things go back to normal?

Normal hinges on two factors: When a vaccine is announced and Trump gets elected.

If you have owned guns for at least a few years, do not live under a rock, and you have not been stocking ammo & guns, well...... please stop starting ammo shortage panik! threads.



Thanks for sharing this info, OP.

That's funny. I do too.

Yeah, going to the last ever Pomona gun show was a bitttersweet experience. The looks I got as I used a hand truck to wheel the ammo I purchased back to my car were amusing. I just smiled and said Y2K was coming.

Just wait until the election. Prices will be INSANE.

Yes, but after Trump is re elected, things should stabilize fairly quickly.

I can remember...

Winchester Q3131 made in Israel, as good as you could get...$180/K. I bought bunches.

I would imagine this whole Chinese trade war/plandemic thing has more to do with material shortages than demand outpacing supply.

That, plus a lot of panic buying that accompanies the spike in gun sales nationwide that makes this a precipitous situation. Maybe one more thing and there might be a real long term 'shortage'.

A little late for that as well.
Bullets - Check
Brass - Check
Powder - Check
Primers, primers - where did all the primers go...???

That's kind of funny. A while back I was thinking of gradually reducing the stash. Offered some up at retail minus 10 percent, no shipping or hazmat. Guys were insulted, how could I think of charging them so much. ROFL now.

So by reloading,we get sone alternative access to components that manufacturers don't have? How does that work?

That's why I bought myself my first press during the spring. During the initial panic buy, components were still abundant. I can still find components at a couple LGS's since most folks don't do their own loading.

But you're right, this stuff will have to dry up to at some point. But these resources are still available for the time being.

This "Eric R. Poole" sounds like he is part of the conspiracy. He and Newscum are in the back room smoking cigars and laughing at us. And yes, BP is supplying them with the hookers.

Same here, except I just kept walking.
Had a handtruck completely loaded with lead, some guy made a comment about it looking hard going up the ramp in the tunnel. He said I needed to work out. I offered to let him try, he couldn't do it.

[The War Wagon]

That is why it was important to stock up on ammo last year CENTURY. No worries on my end EITHER

FIFY.
