falcone 89 Posted June 19, 2016 Buy it cheap, stack it deep. That's what me, my brother, and a couple friends have been doing the last few years so we can ride out this panic buying bullshit whenever it happens. If you can spare the money, buy some ammo whenever you see it at a good price. Like someone said earlier in this thread, it's not gonna get cheaper or more plentiful in the future. And if you're in a pinch, you can always sell it. As long as you bought your ammo at a good price, you'll never lose money selling it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted June 19, 2016 When will people learn to always stock up for emergencies, ahead of emergencies? With elections coming, why was anyone waiting for the latest craze? You don't wait until the hurricane hits to buy a generator, you buy your milk and bread before the snow storm, you fill your gas tank before your run out. How many panics do you need before you learn? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To quote the great American poet Mike Tyson - "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face". What I mean is that it's great to say now that you won't pay crazy prices. However while in the middle of the panic if you want to shoot your gun, but have no ammo. Guess what? You'll pay crazy prices. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestPX 172 Posted June 20, 2016 Guys, let me share what I'm going into this next panic with personally. Keep in mind this is just for my personal shooting and separate from work: 1 - Case of 100 M2 PMAGs 1 - Case of 100 M3 PMAGs 1 - Case of 75 M3 20LR PMAGs 1 - Case of 100 D&H USGI mags 1 - Case of 100 Lancer AWM mags 10 - stripped AR15 lowers 3 - .308 AR receiver sets 60lbs of rifle powders 35lbs of pistol powders 2+ tons of projectiles 95K primers 5 - complete AR15 BCGs 2 - complete .308 AR BCGs 5 - Full AR15 LPKs 2 - sets of .308 AR specific LPK parts 30K+ rifle rounds 20K+ pistol rounds 40K+ .22LR Is it a little excessive? Yeah. Did I need anything during the last three spikes in demand to keep shooting or worry about whether or not I could keep my guns running not just for myself but over my kids' lifetimes? Nope. You may be saying to yourself, "That's easy for you, you're buying at wholesale and make a living doing this." The flip side to that coin is when shit hits the fan and there's zero availability, if I take even one BCG or lower from a shipment of inventory, my opportunity cost is astronomical because of what I could have sold that part for. We are in the golden age of AR15s and it WILL NOT last. Plan appropriately and don't say you didn't realize it could or would happen. It can, it does, it will. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree on all of the components for reloading and AR parts. But on the mags, do you really go through that many mags? I must not be going hard enough on my mine.

MidwestPX 172 Posted June 20, 2016 I agree on all of the components for reloading and AR parts. But on the mags, do you really go through that many mags? I must not be going hard enough on my mine. Magazines should be treated as consumable items. Use them enough and they will break. Without a magazine, a semi-auto rifle is an expensive club. I have a variety too because I'd hate to run into a situation where a rifle won't work with a given type of magazine and if that's all I've got, well, I've painted myself into a corner. I didn't buy mags just for myself. I bought mags to last my lifetime as well as my kids'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remixer 1,645 Posted June 20, 2016 I'v increased by AR inventory but not to the point where i'm going to cry when the panic ends just a sudden as the last one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,573 Posted June 20, 2016 This was/is the first wave. The next wave will be when BHO opens his mouth again. The next to final blow will be the election. The final blow will be when Congress passes another AWB. Of course, this is only MY opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestPX 172 Posted June 20, 2016 Which Dealer? I "panicked" a little. We're holding 5x the normal number of PMAGs right now and that's after shipping a record month of mags to dealers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot 358 Posted November 19, 2016 Went to Dulles VA gun show last evening. Smallest crowd I'd ever seen. Tables with dozens of bricks of AE 22LR for under $30. No blowout prices yet, but I feel it may be coming. Felt like a lot of dealers who went crazy with AR lowers, ammo, etc. in anticipation of HRC are sitting on inventory now. Donald Trump may be a businessman, but he's the worst gun salesman ever 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
