    Purchasing Ammo off of Instagram

    sigpic

    1. Treat all guns as if loaded (even when you know they aren't).
    2. Never point the muzzle at anything you aren't willing to destroy.
    3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
    4. Know your target and what is beyond it (avoid all collateral damage).

    Maybe you need check is the shop actually legit? Like sg ammo there is plenty review for the store. Or you can check they business license on their state website.

      The better the deal the more suspect...just saying.

            I get added by random ""FFLs"" all the time. If they offer .223/5.56/.45 for less than $.30/rd, Scam. Picture of a full shelf? Scam.

            Best practice is to do some cross referencing to see if they have a main website or if it's reputable in that area. Nowadays if you're a legit ammo dealer, you WILL be on the map

            EDIT:

            BUT! I'd recommend following your favorite shops as they sometime drop stories about ammo being available the next day. You can get the heads up first.

              That seems all kinds of scammy to me.

              The ammo market is so hot right now that everyone is having trouble keeping things in stock. What store needs to pay an employee to "cold-call" people over Instagram?

              Again, the ammo market is crazy hot right now. No store would "cold-call" people to offer below market rates.

              Again, the ammo market is crazy hot right now. The scammers smell money. Heck, even the flippers are getting rich off the $1 per round 9mm.

                Don't forget, you need to have a COE too.

                  As long as you can pay via credit card you're protected. You can always do a chargeback and everything is fine.

                    With the caveat about ammo quality, of course. If the dude selling it looks like a tweaker who'd substitute some crystal for powder, you may wish to pass...

                      I am sure you will also pick up the call when they want to give you a refund since you paid too much for your antivirus renewal!
