Having plenty of guns and ammo is gonna help me out too! Keep up the good work sir!
Ammunition Shortage and email from major supplier

I would go with 7.62x35 blackout or 7.62x51 before 7.62x39. The ammunition selection is way better on both the former. FMJ and HP Russian made is 90% of the ammunition market on the Russian round. And what advantage does it provide besides cheaper ammo? Ballistically I’ll take the AR-10. I have one with 25 round Magpul mags. Nothing can top a 308 with that kind of firepower
That's good to know. I have a 30-06. How about 45 ammo? I need to go get some ammo in case we go living dead style like areeves thinks.
I don’t think guns will be banned. People are buying guns and ammunition because the police have been told to stand down, and they figure they will have to protect themselves
Bro 300 AAC is about the single most difficult round to find right now as most manufacturers have switched it out for 556. That said, yes it’s 100% preferable to x39 as a platform. Mainly, IMO, bc it’s specifically designed to Seamlessly correlate with the AR15 (same Mags).
AR-10 vs 15 is just a totally different animal. Ballistically, it completely depends on what you want to do w the gun and what you’re referring to (velocity, energy, range, weight, etc etc). Our specific context was about Ammo availability/cost. 7.62x39 is going to be far and away the safest bet, as of today, in that realm.
Again, just all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If you want a longer range weapon, sure go w the AR-10, go with 6.5 Creedmoor.

I think part of the ammo shortage is this girl's fault.
Built my first last week. Pistol in 5.56. Will be doing another and will consider this.
I’ve got a .40 as well and was told they are all but stopping production of that caliber. Buy that shit!
During the Obama years I spent thousands on ammo and ended up with a nice stock pile. A guy on sc ducks can't even find shells for his labor day Dove hunt!
I kindly helped him out with 2 cases of # 8's at the current market valve.
Found out ammo is a profitable investment

Yep, did the same. I just happened to do it at the right time. Didn't have anything to do with Obama though.
It is an AR15 that I have and my reasoning was this. I’ve got an SKS 7.62 39mm that I’ve got an ass of ammo for but when I got the AR15 I bought some ammo but not enough for my liking. So buy more 5.56 ammo at a higher price or if practical cost wise switch the AR over to 7.62. With the 7.62 ammo now being relatively cheap and plentiful. Plus I like the better knock down power of the 7.62.

Yes I would say that was a smart decision. Remember you will have to acquire different Magazines but that should not be difficult at all.
There is a lot of nuancing necessary when considering elements of ballistics and terminal ballistics with 7.62x39 versus 556.
That said, if I have to choose which to get shot with, I’m going to choose 556, in all likelihood. Ammo is a huge deal, however, 77 grain 556 is a deadly little bullet that seems to fly forever.
There’s just a lot of trade off...velocity is higher with 556, tho it’s not like it’s unbelievably higher. Ballistic Coeffecient (the efficiency of bullet flight) is close with both. None of this matters much until about 300 yards where the flight patterns of 556 generally outperform.
Point here is ballistics and terminal ballistics is complex and situationally dependent.
But, I would say you should feel confident in your decision. Given your SKS situation, I likely would’ve done the same.
so true
their policies of completely changing our system of government is scaring alot of people.
plus the ones who have been here for generations have sentimental attachment to our system of government
its hard to watch when someone who has been an american for less than half my life start telling me what america should look like
we are living in crazy times
Huge win for freedom

They can be found. And they sale certain projectiles for them. Let me know if you find the “good” projectiles. LOL. Those are hard to find. The launcher is available
you have to buy empty projectiles
then buy the ingredients to fill yourself
kinda like when we were kids and loved an empty toilet or paper towel tube
Dude, just stop. Don’t advertise what you’ve got. You’re just making it easier for someone to make a target out of you.
i have a glock in .40. Why are they stopping? I heard that too. It’s just not a popular caliber anymore?
That’s what I was told. They are allocating production capacity to more popular calibers. 9mm for example. Sportsman’s Warehouse here in Irmo had plenty of .40 ammo today.
Only true if they shift those resources to 9mm. The .40 is still a very viable caliber and is far from dead.
Not exactly what you said but the point remains.
9mm is my main carry but the glock is my preference. Packs a punch. I carry it in the winter
I’d love a 7.62 x 39 ar15 upper. Would be a buyer if there were any in stock anywhere lol
Y’all want complete Uppers? Already assembled?
Also, what are your purposes? Asking because what you want to use it for changes barrel length recommendations, hand guard, etc.
I have supersonic and subsonic. I never got a lot of it but I have some. How much are you looking for?
Note: everything I have is premium ammo. Mostly Hornady 110 grain V-Max and Hornady 220 grain subsonic for use with suppressor
LOLOL guns will never be banned. People thought the same when Obama was elected and I couldn’t buy 9mm ammo for a year. Guess what? Obama did nothing to restrict gun ownership and neither will whoever gets elected in Nov.
However, the do have 3000-4000 rounds now so I won’t need to buy for a long while.
This. As a republican, I still crack up when anyone says this. The left “taking our guns” is an unfounded boogeyman created by the far right. It will never, ever happen.
They’ll be an International Gun Registration which will lead to Gun Confiscation if Biden is elected. This Election is different because of the Beast/Antichrist Pope being in power. That’s the difference. He’s the 112th & Final Pope based on Saint Malachi’s Prophecy, which, by the way, was hidden away in the Vatican Archives for over 900 years.
