Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.


Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?



Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

What do you guys think if ammoseek? They have some for $ .22 a round and up as ridiculous as that is actually.

If things are going basically the way they did after the 2013 panic, probably won't see .22lr until at least this summer. It has the smallest margin; I doubt anyone's actually producing any right now.
That seems rather optimistic to me. Of course I’m in the [probably] rather small group that thinks we have probably already lost the country and it is only going to get worse from here. So consider where my opinions are coming from.

A lot of .22 is already made elsewhere. Norma (Sweden), Aguila (Mexico), Tula/Wolf (Russia), etc. And they aren't making it right now. Probably anyway. literally no money in it.

Evidently they're not making much at all.

Well, it's coming from somewhere. Every time I go to the shooting club, they have shelves of 9mm, .45 acp, .380, etc., but it's pricey. And the rubes are buying it. $40-$50/box, limit 2 boxes/customer. Sometimes 1 per customer. But the less mainstream rounds (.357 SIG, .40 S&W, 460, ETC.) have disappeared. Again, just like last time, I doubt we'll see that kind of ammo for at least 4-6 months.

I guess sgammo got some in. I looked on ammoseek and it showed some on sgammo. I bought 1000 rounds for $189.95. I can't believe I just paid that much for .22 ammo.

OK... I'm just thinking that putting some Nicaraguans or Costa Ricans to work making .243 and .30-06, until American manufacturers can start getting it back on shelves more reliably, would be nice. It would provide opportunity for countries in need of getting their people working.

If you watch this they will tell you they are making more than they have ever made. That the demand has gone up so dramatically that it is impossible to keep up at this point. It is a pretty good video.

It could happen. It didn't last time, or the time before that, so I'm guessing it's not that easy. It could be legality, or it could be logistical. Either way, the times this happened before we didn't see a crop of new manufacturers just suddenly appear on the shelves here.

$95/brick. Just under a brick, actually. That's insane.

Yep, it's a great video. I'm just hoping some enterprising nations, and their people in need, enter the arena and help with the lag in production so people can get hunting rounds. But like we've heard, and I suspect people are right, they've replaced production of many of those "hunting" rounds (.243, .30-06, .270, 7mm, 6.5....) with rounds like .223, 9mm, and .45.

That's too bad. I really wish they could ramp-up quickly and help America with this pressing shortage.

Found a site selling 9mm hollow point at $70 for 50 rounds. That felt....excessive, so I didn't bite.
