Who's buying ammo after the Orlando shooting and Obama's address?

[3MTA3]

Thanks 3MTA3, It is a 6.5 Grendal but the Blackhole barrel says .264 LBC. I fire weights from 100g to 120g. The H4198 sounds great. Thanks for the info. Johnny.

I run Blackhole barrels, too, in my AR-15 builds and I love them.

For the money, Blackhole barrels are great. I have a HW 16" 5.56 BH barrel that is a real tack driver. I also like that they are now made in St Helens, Oregon allowing to keep the $$$ in our local economy. My BH barrel shoots as well as my "Grants Pass" barrel (the BH is just a bit more heavy to carry)

Best to stock up on AR lowers. May be a good investment two years from now. Just my two cents. As for ammo I don't think there's ever "enough". The government cannot control ammo only we do as shooter by driving the prices up by frenzy buying.

Looks like PMAGS are out of stock most places. Palmetto was out for anything .223

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

BiMart was out of the 120 boxes of 55grain 556 that they had on sale for $43.99.

It seems that "the government can't control ammo" is a statement I don't want to see tested. Why couldn't they?

Given that the measures could pass, how about a $1 per round tax? Justify it like Seattle did, to "pay for research to mitigate "gun violence"!

Registration and waiting periods for all ammo purchases. Let's not forget the insane 'serial numbered' bullets and we could pay for the increased cost?

And who "needs" more than 20 rounds total? They could limit purchase quantities. Maybe requiring a manufacturing license to reload and to purchase reloading supplies?

Don't whistle too loudly past the graveyard, the ghosts might hear us.

Doc, (I'm whispering) you could be onto something with that speculation

Picked up 1000 rnds of 9mm and 500 rnds of 5.56 yesterday, not because of Orlando, because I shot all of my stock on sunday.

I have not purchased a single factory made centre fire round of ammunition in at least thirty years. I did cast and powder coat around 300 bullets today.

Want to teach me?

 

[Scott F]

Sure, where are you?

I ran across a great deal on 10-packs of PMAGs recently and bought one. Used a browser that I had disabled cookies on and the confirmation page never loaded. So I ordered again with a different browser and it went through. You guessed it - the next day I got two confirmation notices. Since the craziness is clearly starting up again, I didn't return them. I gave a couple of them to a friend who just got into ARs and I'm keeping the rest for later when I'll wish I had.

I got 3 more 6.5 Grendal magazines @$11.99 each. They still have lots of pmags and others cheap.

 

[wcdubois]

Just ordered several pounds of powder and several thousand primers from Cabelas.
Mainly due to lower Fathers Day prices. And its the first time I have found Blue Dot powder in a couple years.

 

[biggie24420]

So I ended up getting 15 boxes of 5.56 (20rnds per box) and two boxes of JHP self-defense 9mm (50rnds per box) and a 2014 Mustang.

It was an expensive weekend I tell ya.

What would you suggest for AR lowers? I would not buy a budget lower. Thanks for your perceptive comment.

I love Mustangs! Congratulations!

Noveske makes a great lower, and you can probably still get one since they're pretty expensive. Superb fit and finish. They have a nice logo too.
