jesse.james Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Those orders are already filled. The manufacturers are having trouble keeping up with civilian demand. My Buddy has a bunch. Selling 500 rds of.223 for $375 and laughing all the way to the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The DHS orders took place before this all started. BTW, the conspiracy guys will ask why they need that much ammo too. Its simple, they train multiple times per week. I saw a breakdown of it somewhere and it adds up to about 300 rounds per person per week IIRC.

tuckersdaddy Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 listen to what the caller said again, these are standing open ended orders. 1.6 billion rounds, just from home land. add on dod, doj. ect.ect. that by contract has to be filled first, then they continue to reissue the contracts. Thats allot of ammo. to add to the big brother theory, my sound board on my laptop took a crap. so i listened to it on my phone. as i listened the gps kept activating....hmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yup, pure bs. If you look at what the government buys, its 223, 40, 357 sig. Why is there a shortage on everything else? Hmm, because we are hoarding ammo. Plain and simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Sorry, the caller is full of it. Go back and look, alot of the gun sites had guys wearing tin foil hats theorizing about the large DHS ammo orders months before Sandy Hook. Im sure there are other orders yet to be filled out there, but these types of orders have been occurring for years and years. They are not the cause of ammo shortages, like Ford said, its people hoarding and others buying it up and reselling it for huge profits because alot of people are panicking.

ants Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think if everyone would just calm the hell down and stop buying anything they can get their hands on, things would return to normal pretty quick. Its gotten to the point where people can't even find stuff like 30-30 and 30-06 ammo. Rounds like that use to be stacked to the ceiling. The local Gander Mnt. gets ammo in this morning. Doors open at 9 and I'll bet anyone, dollars to donuts that they are out of ammo by 10 or 10:30. Calm down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 My local dealer has had to limit sales to one box per customer per day. Not one box of X and X caliber either....One box period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobC Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I was told that at walmart employes were reserving ammo for each other. And putting out what little was left for the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I was told that at walmart employes were reserving ammo for each other. And putting out what little was left for the public. No doubt there are a lot of rumors about why there is an ammo shortage ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
