    Democrats tearing up the cities means Trump will win Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin and thus the election. Thank you BLM and Antifa. True patriots electing their nemesis.

    In two years we'll have $499.00 AR's and $15.00 Thunderbolt bricks at Midway with free shipping $49.00 or more. In stock only!

    I sure hope you are correct because if not .......

    When everyone panics the shelves get bare quick. I remember daily trips to walmart and I am not doing that again.

    If not we'll have no AR's , ammo purchase through FFL only(with a hefty 'gun violence reduction' fee imposed) and a Lib Supreme Court that will agree that 2A means everyone has the right to own a squirrel rifle.

    We have meth attack squirrels here in Alabama, we NEED bigger, faster guns for those lil bastards.
     
    I don't know about the rest of the ammo manufacturers but Remington has already stated that they are only making 9 mm and 5.56 ammo for the foreseeable future due to the shortage of raw materials such as lead and copper. I would imagine that also means they are slowing or stopping the production of Rimfire ammo.

    Well that covers the half shelf in the ammo closet for .45 Colt and .45acp.....

    *Laughs in third world dictator*

    ^^For the win^^:party29:

    After 2013 I bought enough .22 to last 4 lifetimes:sad20::innocent0. I'll sell or trade half of it if prices get too insane.

    5.56 and 9mm are also stacked deep and I'm not selling regardless of the price.

    FIFY
    Depending on what prices go to, I might sell some. Capitalist tendencies and all. Not there yet though.

    I'd love to get there, but I got a late start to the whole collecting and regular shooting thing. One of my good friends who started years before me is now over 400k rounds. Good luck to anyone trying to fight a fire in his basement....

    Saw that LG had 5000-round cases of Aguila 22LR (CPHP) of the 1200fps variety, at about nine cents a round ... so, 60 cases in stock at $475 each plus shipping. All gone in just over an hour.

    I loaded 95% of those .45 Colt and .45acp back in January and February.

    I remember when the CMP put some surplus .22 on sale and sold out over 2,000 cases in two days, some of it is in my basement. That is 10,000,000 rounds.

    I just checked and the CMP still have cases of commercial .22 for sale $354.95 includes shipping (7.1 cents a round), you have to be a member of a CMP affiliated club and two case per year limit. It is good quality target ammo made by Eley a special CMP Standard only available through CMP. A good way to start your stocking program just remember to keep buying more as you use it or you'll be scrambling again when the next shortage comes.
