You had it correct in post #21, M855 is the new 22LR, not .223, let's not make this "panic" any worse than it already is.Quote:

They had more M855 than you can shake a stick at. Of course, it is all at their "normal" price of [panic]
Well, I've refrained from posting in this because I was so pissed about it. First it was the 7n6 and nobody gave a shit because it didn't affect their Ar15s accept us who shoot it. Now they are screwing with the AR15s and everybody is in an uproar.
This has gone too far.....
Emails have been sent and phone calls will be made to Senators, Reps and the ATF scumbags. I suggest you all do the same.
Remember when they were going to start scraping the spend military brass instead of selling it on the market and the internet went freaking nuts? We all lit up the phones of a few select legislators that sit on a certain committee and it was reversed in less than a week.
With all the various bans that've happened in recent memory I've become a prepper. Not a TEOTWAWKI type prepper, but a shooting-sports prepper. My supply of M855/SS109 will last me...a while. I don't trust the gov't with pretty much anything related to gun ownership.
Maybe making better armor should be their goals? It seems like a false sense of security to depend on armor that is easily defeated by commonly used ammo. Maybe they don't have stock in armor companies just ammo makers but it doesn't seem like a good use of tax money to try and ban ammo.
Just called my rep and Senator Gardner.
Gardners office says I was the first one to call about it. That makes me very disappointed.
We all need to light up his phones.

Umm is it possible that since it's only 9 am, and it was a three day weekend, that maybe you just beat people to the punch? Just saying....Quote:

That there is some BS. This is why I buy from sgammo.com. They don't pull that crap. My order shipped as agreed even though I put my order in at the height of the frenzy.Quote:

Bought 1k for 361.00
Looks like Gander Mountain I mentioned earlier. Sadly, that $.60/rd out the door was reported by an employee as their normal price.Quote:

Seller took order and I initially got a "backorder" email a few hours later, but it shipped the next day so it's all good.

There were 2 boxes left at the Thornton Cabelas, but at 12.99 for 20, I may as well support some of the members here with similar prices.Quote:

Specs require it to penetrate 10ga 1010 or 1020 steel (like car door, helmet, etc)... No such spec required for m193.Quote:

Of course we do.Quote:

Generally its price. Cheap milsurp is cheap.Quote:

If you think this is bad, just wait until the EPA ruling comes out on banning the use of lead in ammunition. This will come out in the next two years.
+1 They know there is little to no chance of getting an assault weapons ban through so they are going to use every back door way to take our rights away. IMHO a ban of lead in ammo will hurt the most, it will price everyone out of the sport.Quote:
