I tried the link, and my Kaspersky AV went nuts with Virus alerts.

If you mean

it’s likely your machine and not the website.

Sounds like you got it for normal price....

Now, you could turn that into $75 real easy on either gunbroker or guntrader.

I wouldn’t do it...but its a free country.

Michael’s website has been under vicious cyber attacks for a couple weeks now, including “denial of service” conditions and sending false postives to antivirus applications. Norton picked up on that on my PC last week, warning it was a potential host site for a trojan, and when I said O.K. go ahead anyway, Norton found no trojan. I think Michael has been trying to rehost his site.

The content in that link is one after another of 150+ blog/email responses he got, all speaking to ammunition shortages in the area of the person who blogged/emailed to him.

In southern Idaho...at both Wally World and Sportsman’s Warehouse, NO popular calibers...nothing but shotgun ammo and as someone else mentioned, some weird elephant gun calibers.

Two months ago, I bought the last 3-boxes of 357 Sig ammo in the store at Sportsman’s. NOTHING but shotgun ammo at Wally.

This has been like this for almost 3-months now.

“On-line ammo sellers are all ripping off their customers.”

Simple solution to your problem.....don’t buy it!

Shoulda’ stocked up when numerous FReepers were encouraging people to BLOAT.

“I suspect that anyone who works in a Wally World gun dept...is going to buy the stuff up for retail, and immediately auction it off on an auction site.”

We had an ammo shortage in upstate NY four years ago.

Neighbor and I befriended the kid at the ammo dept and he would call us before he stocked the shelves. 20 minutes later we were wheeling our ammo out to the truck.

This is the free market system at work. If you need ammo, at least someone is making a market. If you don't like the price, find a better one...or don't buy.

Gun sales (particularly AR-15's and 9mm 's) are through the roof. And these guns eat ammo.

Simple supply and demand.

Whaddya want...Jimmy Carter-like price controls.

The market is what it is.

Of course we can cry out for the way things used to be...but where will that get us.

Sweating, twitching customers?

Heheh.

Isn't that a little insulting to your fellow gun owners who simply feel the need to add to their inventory because of Obama's reelection.

The market is tight because so many good, honest, and patriotic Americans are nervous about the hope and change Obama has promised. They are buying more guns and buying ammo for those guns.

Nervous, perhaps...but I doubt they are sweating and twitching.;-)

"The market is tight because so many good, honest, and patriotic Americans are nervous about the hope and change Obama has promised. They are buying more guns and buying ammo for those guns."

I agree very much with people buying more firearms and ammunition but not from secondhand gougers. I want Americans to win. That means avoiding buying anything that we don't really need, becoming more self-sufficient, cutting personal costs for necessities and learning to each produce something useful.

Maybe we just made the beast unnecessarily fat for the time being with more recirculating debt from taxes on those items. Oh, well, we made it a noisy market run, and that's the way it is.

Firearms, yes. But we could have bought so much more, if we hadn't excited more hysteria in the fascist, harridan hags of politics (and their SNAG--sensitive New Age guy--sidekicks), bought beyond production and run prices sky high.

"Nervous, perhaps...but I doubt they are sweating and twitching.;-)"

;-) I expected some real flames for that hook, but thank you anyway. After using the Net and doing some writing and/or editing here and there over the decades, we become somewhat like mind-gobbling reptiles.

Friends, watch availability come back, prices go down, then buy a little at a time. Buy longer at a lower pace. Let the lefties buy hysterically. Buy low. Don't sell at all, unless you're going to produce or distribute for the market from now on. Buy all kinds of tools, gardening supplies and parts, too.

Push for repeals of anti-Second-Amendment laws in advance. Make sure that new candidates give clear, solid, repeated promises to repeal all anti-Second-Amendment laws--not only the politically correct ones. Make sure that they run campaigns for repealing other unconstitutional laws, too. Be ready to vote them out after their first terms, if they don't come through on their promises.

Save money. Learn to produce something as a hobby for now. Start businesses, when the anti-competition regulations are gone.

It is a classic bubble. When it pops there will be a lot out there at great prices. Stock up now because the next bubble will be the last one.

I got lucky at MidwayUSA a few weeks ago on 1000 rds 7.62x39 FMJ (Tulammo)... $282 including shipping. Otherwise, it is as you say on the notifications...gone before can get an order in.

I got a email from one supplier who was offering...
200 rounds of 7.65x39 AND 200 rounds of .22lR for
the deal price of $ 200.

I just can’t wrap my brain around .22 going for
fifty cents apiece or AK ammo going for a dollar
a round.

Sure not carrying any at Wallyworld though.

A couple weeks before I got the deal on the 7.62 from MidwayUSA, I was at a local gun show and passed on the opportunity to buy a thousand rds of the same 7.62 for $400...glad I waited. I have $120 to spend on accessories! Of course the way things seem to be going, we might be glad to find 1000 rds of anything for $400... :(
