chevyman097 2,579 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 On a serious note.....things are pretty tense. Getting worse by the days/hours. You all think its going to cause a dry up in the Russian arms and ammo? Already noticed myself it seems like some vendors are selling out of ammo that has been in stock for months. Just food for thought. We are past due for a bit of panic buying anyhow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Some vendors are pulling it. Its not selling out. I'm not buying any more guns. I hope I don't regret it. Sanctions would hurt the whole nation badly. Gas will go past $5 a gallon, along with a host of other things. I hope the people running this show have enough brains to figure out this is unwise. If they crash the economy to punish Russia they can expect wide spread rioting.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SGL 530 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I've been watching SGAmmo today and they have sold at least 84,000 rounds of that 2010 production wolf white box since 8 am. People are paying attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Not sure what the future holds, but it doesn't seem to bright. Hard to say at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chevyman097 2,579 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I will admit. I snatched up the last 1k rounds of military classic they had. But I also was in the market for some HP ammo anyway. I have used up almost everything i had and have just been putting off getting more. So i was past due. Figured this was a good a time as any Quote Link to post Share on other sites
semper299 284 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Some vendors are pulling it. Its not selling out. Why do you think they would they pull it? So they can put it back on the shelf in a week or two for substantially more money. People see stuff starting to be "out of stock", and they panic causing them to pay more than they normally would.

SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 It's talk like this that starts the panic wheel in motion. Use your head and don't panic. It will drive up the price for all of us. I swear, this country is never going to get used to crisis. It's all about panic. When the real shit goes down this country will destroy and implode it's self very quickly from within. WE ARE ALL DOOMED. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) So if any kind of real trade sanction happens do yall think other sources would step in to fill the gap? The week before last i picked up 1k of golden tiger to keep long term, now this shit happens and im wondering if i should risk the wifes wrath n snag another case... damnitt i got other things ive been wanting to get lol! Eta: ill more than likely stay focused and not feed the frenzy thats probably going to ensue. Edited March 4, 2014 by LuPiN8oR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SGL 530 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Make that over 100k rounds...of just one brand, one day, one vendor. He may have more of this old stock on hand that will be re-listed, but volume of sales today is a clear message. Maybe all of this will blow over, but I have to recommend that anyone that's not already stocked up on Russian calibers hedge their bets at least a little bit and pick up a case or two. (5.45, 7.62x39, 7.62x54r) I know that this is how panics start but much like Rhode's said, it's better to be ahead of the trend. Even if no restrictions go into place, I could see vendors hesitant to put in new orders, not knowing if they will ever make it to the U.S. due to the uncertain nature of this whole situation. If they put off new orders for a month or two, all that is for sale at current prices will dry up. I'm admittedly ignorant on how that process works, but I would bet that vendors need to send at least partial payment to get it on the boat over here, and I can guess as to the refund policy of the Russians if it's seized by customs. As we've seen over the last year, it's very easy for supply to dry up. There was never even any mention of banning ammo during the crisis but look how the market reacted. While I see the possibility of import restrictions as real, that's just speculation. The market's reaction on the other hand is already playing out. So, those without a good supply find themselves with a conflict of interest. It's in their personal best interest to buy now while prices are low(ish) and stock is available, but if everybody does this, it will accelerate scarcity and bite everyone in the ass. Damned if you do... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Make that over 100k rounds...of just one brand, one day, one vendor. I helped!! I bought the "last two" I've been meaning to restock the 5K I shot since 09' figured that aged ammo was not going to stick around much longer. My buying was not a panic, it was just a realization that prices would not be going down for awhile longer. I'm something of a Jonah, so prices should plummet any moment now. And now they are showing another 96 cases... Man they must have a mountain of that stuff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunman1 1,753 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I have a couple thousand rounds of x39 and close to a thousand of the x54. I have always thought something like this could/would happen so I hedged my bets with two .308/ x51 guns......however, I might take a look at a local place that has a large web business for the Russian ammo, I'll let Y'all know what's up Well fukme...They've either pulled it all or sold out http://www.the-armory.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/762x39_ammo.html Edited March 4, 2014 by AA re-cvrd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Its not a panic until everyone makes it one. If people wouldnt pay stupid prices then shit would stay relatively steady. Ive been stacking up since the last round of bullshit. Im done paying bullshit prices for shit ammo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 The last two weeks are the first rifle ammo I bought since august 2012' But I bought about 9000 rounds so far. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lone Eagle 839 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Went by the local fun shop to pick up the new P238 for the wife. Not one round of x39 on the shelf. Lucky me called at 8AM, and they hid the last 2 cases for me(1K of Tulammo, 1K of Red Army Standard) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I bought cases of shit a couple weeks back, lol. Nothing's gonna happen with Russia. Thw western media is wildly misreporting what is actually going on, but people are beginning to understand Russia's actions. The EU isn't going to do shit. The US isn't going to do shit. Ukraine is going to either split in half or the rebellion is going to die out when they realize the EU has zero interest in taking Ukraine as a member. All IMO.

HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have been saving up for a while for my first AK. After last year I am really tired of panics.

But since it is all over the news, I can tell my wife that I may never be able to get cheap russian ammo, cheap ever again. So it works out for the best, whether theres something to worry about or not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
