5.56 ammo distributor

[hk4ca]

Hi,

Where can I find 5.56 ammo distributor or wholesaler in Nor Cal or to be specific, the Bay Area? Or should I get it straight from the manufacture which I highly doubt that they're going to sell it to me. I'm looking for a large quantity.

Man...if you're starting your own mercenary group to counter Somali pirates, I'm in!

ammunitiontogo.com sells in bulk. They sometimes have military surplus too.

How big is "large quantity"? Most people pop in here and ask for large quantities like 1 or 2 or 4 thousand.

And the bay area isn't northern California.

I'm looking for maybe over 50000 rounds.

yea.... 50k rounds would be a large quanity....

I'm looking for maybe over 50000 rounds.

50k is too small for manufacturer direct.
Just call the manufacturers and ask for their lists of distributors.
Almost any distributor will sell to you as long as you have your resale license.

If you are just a guy looking to buy a bunch of ammo, they won't be able to help you.

Also, It's not a real good time to try and buy 50k rounds at one supplier...

What numbers am I looking at for a manufacture direct? 100,000 + , 1,000,000+ ???

Probably a pallet unless you order from a small manufacturer. Pallet is 7200 pounds, case of .223 55gr weighs about 27lbs with packaging. Figure roughly 266,000 rounds per pallet.

Most distributors will sell on just a resale license. Most require it to be related to the shooting industry, not some furniture salesman looking to make some cash on the side.

Good luck finding quantity in stock.

Buying like that is going to bring one undesired attention.

That's what I was thinking too, unless he's going into business selling it or something.

I personally don't care what he's doing with it myself, it's none of my business.*




*unless he's starting a mercenary group to fight pirates, then I want in!

Only one reason for a civilian to buy that many rounds at one time. Zombie infestation.

maybe he works for the Post office.

maybe he works for the Post office.

We joke about postal employees, but there's this guy at my post office that figured out what I do and then brought me a gun to fix.
I told him it was probably better that he bring it to my shop rather than giving it to me at his work.
