I also see where my order for 5000 primers is finally being filled. With what I have, that should last me for a few years.
From whom?

These were shotgun primers, cheddite’s. They are out of stock now, but you can order them and they will fill your order when they become available.

At least that’s how it worked for me on my last two orders.

Top Gun, good price on 9mm Luger. Not so good on .45 ACP at about a buck a round plus shipping.

But they had something to sell.

Maybe it's time for firearms and ammunition manufacturers to put government orders at the back of the queue, and put orders for retail and civilians at the front.

Remington put out a press release that they are back to ammo manufacturing.

I was talking to my buddy the other day. Turns out I have more invested in lead than I thought, it appreciated. He has a much larger assortment. He did not pay much for a lot of it, but it is worth a lot now

I don't think it will go down in value in the next few years.

I remember by dad ordering .30-06 from the Civilian Marksmanship Program decades ago. It was cheap!

CMP - all gone. They had an enormous shipment of Greek surplus ammo and it is all gone.

I went to a gun show this past weekend, lots of ammo. But prices were thru the roof, 9mm $1.00 a round. .22 ammo $85.00 for 500 rounds.

I thought about sending a letter to the government requesting 9mm ammo rather than a stimulus check for $1400. You know they have the stuff sitting around somewhere.

His net worth is going up every month those rounds are unspent.

Funny, when I was doing my refi I jokingly asked my broker if I have to add the market value of my ammo to my list of assets. He nervously chuckled.
