Thread: Ammo shortage?

    Ammo shortage?

    I just went to the website where I buy a lot of my ammo and first thing I see is a notice to expect short delays in shipping due to demand. I went there just to see if they had raised the prices yet and they had not. I don't know if this will be just a few days or a long time but I wish I had enough money to buy some.

    There is a bigger worry than ammo to shoot, we need to keep a watch
    on the handgun grabbing.

    Yep, and greed will kick in soon where they will get crazy prices from the election results frenzy.

    My prediction/hope is that we only get a mini boom over the next 3-4 months that quickly subsides. Hopefully no major price increases, but probably a good bit of stuff temporarily out of stock. Many of the people who were planning on stocking up on anything specific have probably already done so over the past 4 years. They may look to replace what they've used recently, but I don't see the same level of stockpiling occurring. It also caught the industry off guard last time. I think they'll be better prepared this time as well.

    For months now our favorite 22 LR, federal 525 round bulk pack has not been available, LGS owner the other day told me that they have not been made for some time now and not to hope seeing them any time soon, then he tried to sell me the brand he had on the shelves.

    Well with this morning's news of the administration's willingness to go ahead with the UN gun grab, I think it will only get worse. The most dangerous part about this is that quality control slips in an effort to get ammo out. I have heard of and seen an abnormally large amount of squib loads in the last year.

    Bruchi, can you order ammo online and have it shipped there?
