Fortunately they are sending the money ahead of the law to ban the sale of guns and ammo. The problem is when they confiscate them, sorry, "mandatory buy back", they won't pay the premiums we are seeing today. ;)

I'm working at nights on creating caseless ammo. Never was a bigger market for it...

Same here. And as soon as it ships, I'll place another order :)

Optics Planet’s prices for 9mm 115 grain FMJ is running 70-80 cents a round now. If you buy 1000 round bulk it is about $650. It’s all still back ordered, but says “unknown ETA.”

It's the holy grail of ammo development, but no one has come up with a way to do it without a residue that would foul up the gun and the ammo is far more fragile to handle. If you don't have to eject the casing the whole gun mechanism can be rethought.
The military advantage is also weight, losing the brass/steel case would cut a lot of weight out of the round.
But no one has come up with a really field viable solution to date.
Great movie reference to it in Aliens 2. The Marines in that movie use caseless ammo per the dialog, but I don't think you ever see the rounds.

I’ve got a .50 cal rifle that shoots caseless ammo. :rockon:

lol. The original caseless ammo, but the reload rate is a little low. Unless you're Daniel Boone.

If they do they aren't listing it online.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
SGAmmo has IMI 9mm, but still at $0.78/round. $.80 seems to be the magic clearing point for 9mm. Below that it's hard to find, above that they'll sell it to you by the case. Gunbroker as well.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
Oh I believed you, just they seem to be offering it in store only, or they have calibers I didn't check. I can't tell from that pic if it's shotgun or not.

No kidding. I don't have time to drive there but I may send someone. May give them a call but I imagine it's either gone by now or not cheap.

These are 223. I told him to get me a box if he had the money. But I know his money is tight so he didn't offer it. He went to go get some odd mil surplus rifle they got in. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...188a7c3b20.jpg

Border’s in Ashland posted this on their FB yesterday. $15.99/20, $649.00/1000. 1000 round limit.

Probably not worth their time to post inventory online.

Border’s in Ashland doesn’t post their ammo in their online store, they want local people to be able to buy it.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
So they have it, but at $1 a round you can get it on Gunbroker.
May be loosening up some though.

Border’s said their .223 on that pallet had an $11/box wholesale price. Retailers selling .223 at $1-$1.25 a round are making some a nice markup on it.

Starting to see more post about people being able to get ammo.

More availability should help the prices go down.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
I was going through some boxes from the recent move that were in the garage, and guess what I found?
600 rounds of 9mm. Winchester and Remington.
I don't remember having bought any of this. But I sure did like finding it!

Expect less ammunition to be available now.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
slightly OT
Can this legally go on an AR9 with a 16" barrel?

This is what I thought and partially why I went with a 16 inch.
Thanks!

To print toys for my kids of course.

This place has a lot of different AR mags that will fit your AR. I haven’t used any aluminum mags, but a lot of people speak highly of them. Most of mine are P-Mags.

The ATF tried a power play in an attempt to make AR pistols with stabilizers all need to be NFA registered as an SBR. They backed up on that track, at least for now, as an SBR owners would have to fill out a Form 1 and pay a $200 tax stamp.
