Is this it? Is it really happening? Is the nonsense over?

[jaymoore]

hopefully its about over every time i pay 25 dollars for a box of 9mm that should be 12.99

It wasn't very long ago that the local store was selling it for $5.00 a box. 50 rounds of new factory FMJ reloadable brass cased stuff!

(Of which I'm about out, finally. But that may be a good thing, as even $13 a box still hurts my feelings.)

You talk of "nuts". Ammo unlike apples does not go bad on the shelf. Why do you not have a supply put up for a rainy day?

With the gun friendly world we live in you must look past the end of your nose.

People who purchase ammo from the scalpers are the problem. If you would not buy, they will do something else.

If you are out of ammo, it might alright to buy. But to buy and go to the range, well that fits the definition of "nuts".

I have not seen $5/box of 9 in years. Even Wolf and Tula were always $8 in my area

It's definitely regional.

You won't find an AR on the shelf around here. And ammo is nonexistent.

But some guys down south see AR's in stock for $900??? I could drive down, buy that $900 AR and bring it back to WI and sell it for $1500.

And that's what people are doing.

The best indicator of where the frenzy is at is on the internet, where the market is nationwide. Pmags have fallen from $80 each to $21 each in the last month. That means everyone willing to pay more than $21 for a pmag already has all they want, and the prices start to come down to sell.

Something else to get mad about, the average price of gas 14 years ago was $1.20 a gallon.

I was able to pick up about 1000 rds of 22lr over the weekend at BPS, and did not over pay for it.... Although, the ammo aisle was like a shark feeding frenzy, and I am sure it was all gone within an hour or so.

Picked up a 525 Federal box for $20.95, and 9 boxes of American eagle for $2.29 per box of 50.

I think the craziness is slowing down, but it's still at a near fever pitch.

When anyplace here in Upstate NY has a Shield in stock that one can actually look at let alone purchase for under $600 that's when I will believe things are better...

Seems like a poor indicater. I mean, were Shields readily available prior to December in upstate NY? They weren't anywhere else.

I'd say bulk 22 ammo being consistently available at walmart is the best indicator that it's over.

Fox News Nuts and Scare Tactics

hopefully its about over every time i pay 25 dollars for a box of 9mm that should be 12.99 i thank the nuts on fox for there scare tactics

I find this particularly disturbing, given the current political atmosphere and assaults on the Second Amendment. If I had a box of ammo for every person I know who voted for anti Second Amendment politicians, yet they, themselves are hoarding firearms and ammo, I'd never need to buy another box of ammo. If it were not for such individuals, there wouldn't be a shortage!

The scare and ensuing panic buying started as soon as the anti-gun politicians exploited the Newtown shooting in order to once again advance their longstanding anti Second Amendment agenda. This will never be "over" as long people subscribe to the thought that nobody is ever going to take away our guns in this country and keep re-electing those who definitely will take away our unalienable Constitutional right, given the opportunity.

As for the ammo and gun scalpers; in my opinion, they are not Capitalists, they are simply greedy individuals, lacking good judgement and morals.

I personally take offense to a person on a firearms enthusiast forum blaming his inconvenience on the only national media network which supports the Second Amendment, and calling them nuts.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Thank You.

The buying started in November 2008, panic buying December 2012, and will end November 2016. Get it?

I googled those references and didn't find any .22 or .223 ammo.

 

[Robotech]

My local Dunham's seems to be getting "relatively" larger quantities of ammunition in, but certainly not meeting demand. Picked up a 250 UMC Mega Pack of .40S&W 180 and a couple boxes of 9mm 124 Blazer for $76.49 and $12.74 each (After a 15% coupon.) this week, so I'm not too unhappy.

Yes, they limit quantities, and only one Mega Pack per customer, otherwise I'd have gotten two. I haven't tried the 9mm Blazer before, so I just got the two boxes to test, and besides, it left more for others. They also had boxes of a slightly more expensive 9mm, and Mega Packs of .45 ACP this week.

They seem to get 5 Mega Packs of a caliber per shipment if they get them at all, but none of the popular calibers last more than a day in the stores. (Usually not for more than a few hours...)

Still no .22LR, .223 or 5.56. .22LR I'm not worried about, as I have plenty, but any outtings with my M&P15 are going to be very limited...

Lost Lake, and others who read this post:

The Google references above were not for ammo -
(see gunsamerica.com for that)...

...but the references was for what is happening to America and what is beginning starting TODAY (3/22/13)!

Well if the world is ending again... I really want to stock up on ammo.

All these end of the world predictions usually include an address where I can send my money to help me repent. I guess I'm going to wait until the earth starts burning or the lakes start on fire or something before I quit paying my taxes.

Until that time all I can do is be as good a person as I can be. That's all any of us can do.

 

[BatRazor]

Was able to pick up 3 100rd box's of Winchester Super X
the other day at WM. First 22 cal I've seen this year.
They had some box's of Winchester 12ga 100 rd. They
where going for $24.98. The 22 cal were $6.98
They had a 2 box limit.
Was able to talk the guy into giving me 3 box's since I
live out of the area.
I check around 4 stores per week when I'm in town.
They also had 40 cal/30-06/30-30/7mg/270/300mg
410ga.

Amen! I'm starting to see some things are becoming more available, and private party AR prices seem to be coming down. Was in a gun shop last week and they had ARs on the rack. I didn't ask for prices. Checked my local Walmart again last week. They couldn't give me an idea when they even anticipated seeing more .22LR, and said they understood that the factories had pushed .22 production aside to keep with the demand for .223 and 9 mm. Strangely, they had a number of Winchester white boxes of 7.62 x 39.

 

[Flavorman]

I don't think so. I was at Cabela's today in PA and there was almost no ammo at all. Zero 22lr and 40 but I was lucky to grab some 9mm - the shelf was empty but after my kids and I grabbed a snack we followed the guy who was bringing some 9mm out of the back. He had about 40 boxes and he basically just handed it out in the aisle - it never even sat on the shelf. The magazine aisle was 99% empty as well - there were 2 XD 45 mags and a single ruger 9mm mag and that was it - the rest of the aisle was completely bare. The two gun shops with ranges in my area won't even sell you ammo unless you shoot it at the range, they are that tight.

Yeah, like Fox is the only media outlet broadcasting scare tactics.

I just returned from a trip to Idaho to visit my brother. I walked into a small gun store in Grangeville Idaho which is about 75 miles from Lewiston. Not much out there in the way of big towns or people. I asked if they had any 9mm range ammo and they said they did. I respected the fact that they support their small community and I bit my tongue and asked if they had 5 boxes. I did not want to be the out of town hoarder that came in to clean them out. I don't know how much they had but they were probably limited on their stock. I picked up 5 boxes of PMC 9mm fmj and felt fortunate .
