Ok, I know there is a lot of threads out there right now. But here is my situation. I was out of the country since Dec 20th, so when all of this craziness started, I was not here to go shopping before hand. I did put an order in for two Stag Arms Model 3's before I left. And now, I am looking to go start getting some supplies and stock up a little bit. Has anybody been finding .223 or 5.56 available out there?

 

Walmart?? Dicks ?? (ohhh that ugly word)...

 

I am in lower Monmouth County along the coast, so my area is very limited.. Any thoughts out there???

So far all of the .223 I've been encountering has been going for $0.50-$0.75 a round locally, absurd price gouging.

many of the online retailers are out, or only have the pricey match ammo available. I'm still looking around so if I find somehting decent I'll let you know.

I got a hot tip that mars has great deals

You really need to check online retailers sites a few times a day. They are putting low amounts of cases back in stock every few days, and they are out within hours. So if you check say once a night, it still isn't good enough as they could put it out in the morning and it will be sold out by noon.

 

That's what I've been doing. Although i don't really need any ammo, I've been buying some up here and there when I find a good deal. SG has $22 off $160 so I hopped on that and got free shipping pretty much.

As much as I'd hate to say it, Dicks does have .223 ammo in stock(at least at the store nearest here- Mays Landing). Prices aren't gouged either.

Dicks had a few boxes when I was there.

That's what I did. I was able to pick up this ammo late last month. They showed in stock for less than 24 hours.
