just talked to my friend who runs Special Order Firearms section at Cabelas (ok, more of an acquaintance, but we know each other's first names by now)...he said the ammo squeeze seems to be getting a bit lighter on 5.56/.223...how he can tell? it's actually making it to the shelves, and some is even lasting a few hours at the local store now...just a month ago, they had lines and didn't even put it out, just brought out the boxes and started rationing...he thinks the bubble is about to burst, just his .02 thought i'd mention it...
