    A buddy and I were shorted by them too.

    Bought 1k of repackaged loose xm855 each. He counted his and was short over 60rds. I didn't wanna count but weighed both cans and was a couple 1/10th lb off. No wonder Miwall always had lines at the show's but LAX was walk right up..

      Excellent point. I was thinking the exact same thing while reading this thread.

          That is almost the same amount I was off.

          I wonder how many others have been shorted by LAX??
          IF YOU BUY ANY BULK AMMO FROM LAX AMMO, YOU BETTER COUNT THE ROUNDS. I WAS SHORTED BY THEM.

              Freedom has always been good ammo and fair. They run daily specials and have a free shipping special at least twice a month. My last order was new 115 gr 9mm 1K rds for 203.00 shipped to my door.

              I don't regret burning some bridges. I regret that some people weren't on those bridges when I burnt them!

                  Maybe DOJ took it to represent the new ammo tax that got passed in with Prop 47- They are now gonna test it and then tax you more or less based on how it performs... Soooooooo expect a bill from the state for $.17-$.84 per round missing...
                  7 Billion people on the planet. They aint ALL gonna astronauts. Some will get hit by trains...

                  Need GOOD SS pins to clean your brass? Try the new and improved model...



                  And remember- 99.9% of the lawyers ruin it for the other .1%...

                    Ammo cannot be sent via USPS.

They asked me if they could ship it to me..i said it was fine since no one knew what was going on with ATF and there were stories of ATF agents writing down lic. plates of people buying alot of ammo. One month goes by..nothing -i left messages & no response..2 months..nothing & never returned my calls. Finally i got ahold of someone 7 they simply told me that they could refund my card and cancel my order..No-we're sorry..nothing like that..Finally received the ammo after about 10 weeks...
                      That really bites.

                      As the other poster said, no ammo via USPS. UPS/Fedex are GTG.
                      You can give peace a chance...

                      We'll cover you if it doesn't work out...

                          Take the check. If you have to go back to the show to get the ammo, that's another cost to you for admission and /or parking.
                          You may not like guns, and choose not to own one. That is your right. You might not believe in God. That is your choice. However, if someone breaks into your home, the first two things you're going to do are, 1) Call someone with a gun, 2) Pray they get there in time.

                            During the last big ammo shortage, I deviated from my regular people and gave LAX a try. I bought 6k of 9mm reloads at the last (the very last) Glendale show. A friend and I ran this ammo through 2 glock 17's, a glock 34, and a M&P 9. I saw a 13% fail rate, I suspect due to hard primers. Completely unacceptable.

                            That was the first and last time I'll use their ammo.

                                When a company gets caught shorting a customer, they might have to take a bit of a profit loss delivering to you the product that you actually purchased. If you want the ammo you paid them for, tell them to send it to you.

                                If they can't count, they shouldn't be advertising an actual quantity on their bulk ammo sales. They should just sell it by weight. 933/1,000 is a pretty significant miss.
