Here in Kentucky the limit you to four boxes at a time. I am just going more often.
Ammunition Shortage and email from major supplier

I just discovered 2000 rounds of unopened .45 ACP target that I had forgotten about. I had bought it when I legally owned a MAC10. That’s about 90 seconds worth.
I just returned from taking it to Dewey’s Pawn Shop. They were really happy to have it and my wallet is a little heavy(They only pay in cash).

True, but the good thing for most of us fine folks is that the US Military will be on our side. They have plenty of ammo, and if you recall, that was one of the best things Obama did while in office. He caused the ammo shortage during his term by buying it all up for the Armed Forces.
People will give it a rest as soon as the libtards stop talking about it. Democrats are responsible for more gun sales than any Republican could ever dream of.
I have never once heard anyone but you conspiracy nut dumbass conservatives talk about firearms being banned.
What are they going to do, go door to door everywhere telling you to hand over your gun? Give me a break.
Thats what I don't get. There are maybe a couple hundred million guns in circulation in the U.S. I think I saw an estimate of something like 30 million AR-15 platform rifles alone.
About 60% of the military will be on our side. The bad news is most of the high ranking officials in our military will be on the other side. This is due to the Litmus Test Obama gave to our high ranking officers when he was in office. “Would You Fire On An American Citizen?” If they said, “NO” they were given a pink slip.
Sweet gentle Christ on a bike.
I support your right to buy ammunition. I just tend to think ammunition is in the overbought category. I forget a lot of gun guys are extra sensitive. There is panic buying, it’s reasonable to believe panic buying =over bought. Just like toilet paper being over bought.
Now let’s y’all about free markets. People buying ammo with stimulus money and additional unemployment benefits isn’t capitalism. All logistics companies are backed up because of the massive back logs of wants.
Plenty of houses are stocking bullets that won’t ever be shot. A bullet not shot is a waste of money.
Yes. Believe it or not things don’t have to be partisan. You’re a nut if you fear buy way too much toilet paper and you’re a nut if you fear buy too much bullets.
Don’t forget trump hated the federal reserve when Obama was in office for artificially low interest rates and a “fake” stock market.
Now the Fed is buying corporate debt, record low rates, and close to buying stocks directly while stocks are at all time highs. Ask trump, it’s all great for the economy.
What do you care? I mean you don’t own a gun. That’s the most unamerican thing I can think of. It’s your birthright and people all over the world would give anything to own one and you choose not too.
You will soon regret that more than anything in your miserable life. I’m actually starting to look forward to what’s coming. It will be comical watching you and those like you begging and crying. And I will feel no mercy for you. You had a choice and chose to buy what, mace?
Yes! I have enough for a lifetime. But I need to save it for the coming months. So I need some plinking ammo.
You will need a new upper and lower. And I wouldn’t change it to 7.62x39. When ammo is a available it’s cheaper but the Russians changed to the 5.45mm round because it’s more accurate and lethal. Same deal with 5.56. I own both and the AK round isn’t accurate
Obama was the best thing that ever happened for the gun industry. More ammo and guns sold in 8 years than at any point in history. Your hero who talked about banning guns and all that shit. LOL
And when the civil war starts they will be on our side as well. All these democrats had better start moving now. Hunting season will be interesting this year

I’ve thought about this for years. I believe most true patriots have made up their mind. I’ll give them everything I have...... one fvcking bullet at a time!!!! Well maybe two in some cases. But I’ll fight to the death. And yea I’ll die, but not before I take a cemetery worth of them with me. Liberty or death.
Unfortunately I think half of Americans will give up without a fight. Half of the ones that own guns. The ones who don’t will walk to the wagons with a smile thinking they are going somewhere “safe.”
It is a major issue. Primers are the largest issue right now and will be for a little while. Some companies are bringing them in from outside sources but the reliability could be a concern.
Ammo prices will see another increase this month as large providers have already announced heavy increases and there will be more before the end of the year.
The unrest in the Middle East and Russia have added to the shortage as countries in those regions that typically provide options beyond the mainstays as they couldn’t ship product. Some of those areas are starting to free up product again.
Hunting ammo is the next shortage everyone will see. Better stock up for the season.
You must live with your head up your ass!
Yes. It’s a mess. I stocked up for years on every caliber I own. Some of which I have over 10,000 rounds of premium hollow point ammo for. I would like some plinking ammo, but that will have to wait
You can swap the upper and go to a 7.62x39 but cannot swap 5.56 to 7.62x51 (.308). You can with 5.56 to .300 BO and I believe to 6.5 as well.
It has been a while since I looked into this but I believe there were fees problems bc the 7.62x39 didn’t fit into a traditional AR magazine and feed angle caused problems. Could be old thought though.
Palmetto State Armoury limit one box per person.
Any ban or repeal of the 2nd amendment will signal the start of the next Civil War in America.
Oh sorry I have him on ignore. He’s an absolute idiot
Yea I’m disappointed in PSA. Anyone that has recently bought a 5.56 / AR is stuck. Plenty of magazines but no ammo. One box is ridiculous. One case maybe but seriously that’s not good business
Yes sir! Obama can be thanked for this. The good thing is the 40% that turn on their own country and people are likely the sissies like Obama. Any traitor will be easily dealt with.
It’s their distribution center. But they are all day drops. If it’s a high need item like bullets it’s next day from when they arrive.
My wife wanted a .380 so we went and bought her one last weekend. I’ve got one and plenty of ammo. Anyway, took 30 minutes to get in. You actually had to buy a .380 to buy a box of bullets for the gun. Crazy times!
I bought an AR from them 5 years ago and they had ammo on sale. Picked up 2,000 rounds. I’ve only pulled the trigger probably 150-200 times.
Works with AR-15 platform lower NOT an AR-10. Do not get it confused with 7.62x51 (.308).
So, exact same Lower as your 556 except you will likely need a new Buffer (heavier). You will need a new Upper (including a Bolt Carrier Group). I would get an adjustable gas block but that’s just me.
You’ll also need new Magazines.
You do NOT need a new Lower. You only need a different Buffer and it’s not 100% required. Just depends.
The Mags are AR-15 7.62x39 mags designed to go into a MilSpec Lower. You might be thinking of regular AK Mags, which will not work with an AR-15 Lower.
6.5 Creedmoor is AR-10 Lower ONLY.
6.5 Grendel is an AR-15 Lower.
300 AAC/Blackout is AR-15 as well and you can use the exact same Magazines (tho I would recommend altering how they feel in your hand so you know the difference...for example wrap them in duct tape, etc...or Magpul makes some that feel different). You’ll have a very bad day if you fire a 300 AAC round into a 556 Barrel.

You will have feed problems with AK Mags and an AR-15 Lower. It will not feed/cycle. You have to use AR-15 Magazines that are designed for 7.62 x 39.
