    UN Ammo Shuts Down

    Even though I never bought anything from this guy, I enjoyed visiting his website every now and then to have a look at the flechettes, blanks, tracers, and other exotic ammo he seemed to always have on hand. I'd check out his stuff and think, "One day, when I move to Kentucky, I can buy some tracers..." Alas, UN Ammo is no more.

    He alludes to opening in the future, but only to sell full pallets.

    So long, Howie, it's been real.

    Bought a bunch of ammo from him during the Sandy Hook days, mostly 5.45x39. Decent prices and best of all, good availability. Only a few talked about his store on the various gun forums.

      Sucks. I would like to hear a few of those reasons.

        Too bad. They had flares for Polish flare guns. Need some.
        I wonder where all the inventory goes?

              I'm hearing rumors that this won't be the only ammo company to shutter. No primers, no ammo manufacturing.

                I loved going into his shop and just hearing him talk in his scratchy NY accent.

                  Probably dried up.
                  Before there was Polymer there was Accuracy.

                    Their 9 and .45 tracer was 100% sure lighting. Excellent stuff and priced below the competition.

                      That blows, Howie had some really cool surplus stuff in his store.
                      Probably the That sucks big time.
                      I visited store many times and made a few posts about UNAmmo

                        It's a real shame. Howie and i did a lot of business together. he bought guns from me and i bought ammo from him. This past SAR show he had nothing available.
                        He donated a lot of ammo to kids clubs.
