possible new ammo shortage

[huk_finn]

just heard the U.S. is going to resupply the israeli army with ammo ( 7-30-2014). think it was cnn news

Russian ammo is already drying up as people panic about the Russian ban, so the Israelis better get in line for Wolf and Tula.

What, they can't make enough of their own ammo? I have thousands of pieces of IMI brass??

From the cnn article, this is "120mm mortar rounds and 40mm ammunition for grenade launchers" that is already stockpiled in Israel. Not something that impacts supply or production in the US that I can see.

Don't you see? Preppers NEED those 120MM mortar rounds and you wouldn't want their M203s to run dry, would you?

Think of the kids!

Mazel tov!

I hope the Israelis aren't waiting on us to ship them 22lr ammo!

IMI 556 is really good stuff. Hope US dealers have a good supply. Might be had to get in the months ahead.

The U.S. is a major arms supplier to Israel.

To Mexico too.

When I get all of my components......

When I get all of my components laid in I won't care what kind of bought ammo is available or not. Except possibly .22.

To Mexico too.

BWA-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!

Israel in 2012 was the second leading recipient in US military aid at $3.075 billion dollars. Afghanistan was first, Iraq third. Russia got $101.9 million dollars??

Wikipedia is the source but they reference the US Bureau of the Census International Database.

I heard most of the "resupply" was going to be rockets for their Iron Dome defense system. But ive been known to be incorrect at least once. PS, if they needed .22? id be glad to donate my near 2,500 or so rounds to Uncle Ben's cause.
