"Easy to find" is relative.. as opposed to, say "Unavailable".. Besides .22LR, the .223/5.56 is probably the most manufactured ammo in this country. By comparison, very little AK ammo is made here, so we will be dependent on what supplies may be in warehouses or sitting in cargo holds of docked vessels in port. It stands to reason that people will have stocks to trade in local markets. Living near a large Army base for over 40 years I have observed that supplies of various things including ammunition have been surplussed out and become available on the local markets. If you shoot 5.56, 9mm, and to a lesser extent .45 acp and 7.62X51, surplus can be an option.I'm always curious about finding ammo post SHTF. What store won't already be picked over? Whose stash will you find? Are you going to be a raider?
I just want to know where all the easy to find ammo I keep seeing mentioned is going to be.
Being a "raider" is a last option of the desperate, we'll leave that niche to the poorly prepared.
