EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I posted a few days ago that ammunition is gettin hard to find. I can't find major caliber sizes anywhere. Police and sheriff officers are even running out. they can't even train their recruits with firearms according to the news.  I have my own thoughts on this subject of ammo shortage but I'll keep ylthat paranoid thoughts to my self lol. I'd like to hear what everybody else thinks though

It will die down. I personally am not supporting my local gun stores right now due to price gouging. It'll all come back down. We went through the same thing about 10 years ago.

I know my department had hell finding enough ammo to qualify us. I am having a hard time getting ammo through the LEO stores as well.

X2 i wont support any store or indiviual who wants to take advantage of this situation. Its even goin on the forum

Oh yeah, I wrote a guy about an AR he had on here and he wanted $3K for a 300 Blackout. Couldn't believe it.

My department qualified about a month in a half before all this and we were planning on qualifiing with rifles this month but thats out of the question now.

How much ovr priced was that blackout compared to normal price?

It was a M&P. I talked to my gun smith and showed him the ad and he thought maybe $1700. I dont know, I just think just because everyone is scared doesnt change the quality of the product. I'm happy with my RRA. Maybe I just need to stay out of it.

Anothr example of governmental trickle down effect screwing. BOHICA!!!!!

I got ammo stored but went to a tactical store where they had the last M&P 15 in .223 they were asking 6000.00 for it, I bought mine 2 yrs ago for 1000.00 and recently bought a 300 AAC Blackout for the same price right before all this crap started. Everyone that has some is trying to get way more then they should but supply and demand.

most walmarts in the houston erea are starting to get AMMO in , got 9mm , 40, Most rifle cal 243, 270, 7-08,7mm , 3-06.    and a few others.. Academys are the same. hope this helps other members.

Look up ammo to go I been buying ammo there for a while and it's cheaper than anywhere else and it's local for me hope it helps yeall out

i went to walmart tonight going to get a box of 22 mag bullets all they had was 1 box of 243 for 39.99 and a box of 7mag bullets. next time the shelves fill back up im going to buy several boxes for every gun i have just in case the world goes crazy i wont be sitting here without any bullets haha

I built my AR 15 in November for $ 595.00. That's without optics. The assault weapons ban won't pass. Wait a couple months and the guns and ammo will be in stock and affordable again.

When the prices go down, stock up on everything because this will happen again. 

Im not supporting local gun dealers either this is stupid itll . Go away i got buddys making a killin off of ammo and junk guns rigjt its freakin crazy.

ah ,the good old christian way of screw your neighbor anyway you can,same as they done to us last year durin the drought on hay prices

X2

I hope so buddy, really wanna get me one but at that kinda price you paid.

Go to the Equipment Exchange on AR15.com, there's still some descent deals on there.

There wa someone on here selling a Vulcan v18 for 2000 " due to shortage on assault weapons" or whatever looked it up and the same gun bar and new was 500 with very very very bad reviews. Used teu well for 300. Just goes to show what kind of price gouging people are doing and always do some research before buying.

Rite after this supposed shooting happened i called the store where lance bought his lower receiver n the guy said they were selling stripped lowers for 300 n something the guy told me that lowers were selling for 500+ n at 300, he would be doing me a favor. I told him i hav enough weapons n he could keep his lower n his favor. This double, triple n even quadruple price gouging aint about price n demand, just about GREED!!!!!
I hope these gouging individuals n stores can eat them. Iv heard they r good with gravy, but a lil hard on the teeth

shortage my a-- these comanys can produce no telling how many rounds a minute.its called greed plaine and simple

I ordered a complete AR 15 parts kit from akpartskits.com for $430 and a stripped lower reciever $150 and 30 round magazine $10 from Independence Fire Arms. Put it together in about 45 minutes. Everything functioned great but the trigger pull sucked. I took the trigger assembly out and took a little off with a fine file and polished it with sand paper and now the trigger pull is really nice. It functions and shoots as tight or tighter groups than all of the ones that my friends have and they paid twice as much or more for theirs from gun dealers and that was before all the price gouging.
