Problems finding Ammo

**Antifa** · Posted On: 4/15/2006 11:14am

I'm an unhappy guy in need of rumor control/verification.

I went to the range 2 weeks ago. on the way I stopped off to buy some ammo. I went to academy sports to buy some 7.62 X 39. Shelves were empty.

The same manufacturer had a shelf full 5.56. The guy at the counter said that supply was short and he couldnt keep it on the shelf more than 1 hour.

At the range the range owner hadnt had any in 2 months.

Last week I could find a single box in the whole city of Austin for $14!!!!

My going rumors are:

1) Monarch is merging with Winchester so there is speculative buying.

2) Venezuala has bought 1 million old SKS's and a ton of ammo. The world market is adjusting.

Anybody here know what the real deal is? I dont understand why I cant buy the most common ammo in the world in Texas.

It's messing with my practice schedual I HATE going under 1,000 rounds in the house.

Depends on what firearms its for. Some go through ammo very quickly.

I only keep about 100 (50/hollow point 50/Black Talons) in my apt.

What firearm you do have antifa?

Sorry, I bought all the ammo. I'd sell you some, but I really need every last bullet.

I wish you were the real Jesus then Christianity wouldn't be the crappiest religion on the planet.

1,000 rounds is not really that much. It sounds like a lot, but 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39 would fit in a large shoe box. You'd be surprised how fast it disappears.

I never have time to shoot, so I don't worry much about ammo levels anymore.
