They may be playing loose with the numbers - but I have requests in at several online sites for .308 ammo that say they will let me know when they have some.
Although I have seen on the local gun trader site that folks have ammo and guns for sale.
Now that’s the most artful statement I’ve read all day!
So, so true.
“WOLVERINES!”
Can’t EVER bring myself to yell that.
We’ll just go with what works around here...
“GO BUCKEYES!”
Would the cops know the difference between a Vera Wang and Kim Kardashian hand bag?? PROBABLY.
War Eagle!
I have a carbine; thus far the .30 cal has been readily available. I have some swedish stuff that is beautiful to shoot.
You are correct. Finding .308 is nearly impossible — coast to coast. And, those who have .308 are selling insane prices, as in, more than double the cost of standard prices.
So, I understand what the blogger is saying, and I suspect you are right that while making his point he was playing a little loose with the stats.
Whatever the case, I do hope supply comes back into congruity with demand soon. Nobody wants to go to the range and shoot ammo that they cannot resupply.
LOL We doesn’t care!
“SPORK WEASEL!”
A buckeye, a hairy nut from ohio.
At least that’s what a friend of mine from ohio
used to tell me. If he saw an Ohio plate he would
go right up to them like they were next door neighbors
and they’d start yakking about Ohio.....
“This is a society preparing for war.”
My Rock River LAR-15 5.56, with optics, is just for shootin’ rabbits.
My Remington 870 tactical 12-gage, extended tube, etc., is just for birds.
My old .308 rifle and 30.30s are just for deer.
My handguns are for shootin’ moles and frogs.
All of the food, my medications and other stuff that I have stocked up on, is for when we go on extended camping vacations.
About that big cave looking hole I have been using my backhoe to dig into the side of my mountain, well, that’s just going to be a large fruit cellar.
Nope, I am not one of those Civil War people.... I’m not worried about that kind of stuff, because I know that Obama and our government leaders will take care of me.
Bump for later when blood pressure recedes...
I do hope you do hold them accountable next election.
Everyone at a gun show are not equal - some are FFLs, and some are not.
A non-FFL should not have to jump through hoops just because the guy behind him says, "Hey, that's a nice rifle. What will you take for it?"
I read this a few weeks ago...same numbers, same info with some new stuff added on.
If you can hear it, the shooter missed.... (would still make me put my head down though lol)
I just hope there aren't a lot of good people murdered in vain for defending their rights. I believe that could only happen with inaction by those who believe the cause, but never run out of alternative solutions that don't really exist. The stronger the Patriot movement the better chance we have at peace. If they perceive a weakness they are more likely to try something big in my opinion.
The states need to start organizing large militias that send a message of what it will cost to impose tyranny on the state. Most superior military forces wouldn't be willing to kill so many other Americans just following orders. There are foreign troops who wouldn't mind though.

Heh
If he hears you at any distance, you missed!
(1) As a reloader, I am aware of the shortage of reloading parts, but it is not as bad as described. Last week I purchased two pounds of powder, but to find the exact brand and type I wanted, I needed to visit four stores that usually carry what I want. I saw primers in various sizes and brands while I was looking for powder. There are shortages, but mostly just low stock in most stores.
(2) Yes, there are also a lot of calibers of loaded ammo that are in short supply and many shelves are a lot more bear than normal.
(3) The local gun shop I went to had lots of bolt action rifles (including Arisaka’s and Nagants) and lots of shotguns. It also had lots of semi-automatic handguns and rifles, including several black rifles that Dianne F wants to ban. The price tags on the black rifles were a lot more than I wanted to pay and a good $300 to $500 more than what I could have purchased them for say a year ago.
In short, there is a huge demand caused by panic buying and resulting shortages. As someone who frequents gun shows, I think this is great, as in a few years there will be lots of buying opportunities as people get rid of older weapons, or inherited firearms.
I suspect that a lot of folks are “upgrading” the firearms they have. That is buying a new pistol in a service caliber or a new rifle with better features than the one that was in their gun safe.
We are the “most armed” country in the World, with around 88.9 firearms per 100 people. This work out to about 280 million firearms. So if just a small percentage of the 319 million people in this country deside to buy a couple of boxes of ammo or a new handgun, then the demand can overwhelm the supply chain.
