JECIII Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 So anyone else notice all the sales etc. 599 ar 15's. Cmmg just called me with an order they told me 10 months for ready in 45 days from order. Ammo still high as giraffe pu@@y but guns seem to have stabilized. Can't wait for my new 10mm cmmg banshee lightning link host! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yes I did notice. I can't wait for ammo prices to drop back to normal. I had 2 suppliers send dealer flyers.. meaning they are taking sales from dealers vs selling direct to customers. Of course ammo wasn't on those ads.

b_san Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 A lot of items coming off strict allocation the past few weeks, I'd expect to see some distributor and big dealer sale prices coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 I’ve noticed that’s more and more guns are at my distributors but yeah Ammo is not there to get....and that’s what people want now. Now that I can get guns, no one is really looking for them. Gotta love being the little guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECIII Posted July 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Ammo is back although 15 pct higher. 18.99 blaze brass 9mm at cabellas stacked to the gills. 5 box limit but now it out on the floor and they don't enforceit. Everything but 22lr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 CCI/Blazer, Federal are both selling direct for less than most sellers right now.. Looking hopeful that things would go down more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Ryo-how do you get setup to go direct with CCI/Blazer and Federal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the confusion, I bought as a regular guy. They are selling direct to customers. I always find it crazy that I could buy ammo for a better deal as a private citizen than as a dealer from my distributors. PSA always beat their prices.. well at least until the craze started. Of course the only exception is when buying pallets worth of ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would just move the stuff vs sitting on a higher price it would be better for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 I’m a little guy and the only way I could get ammo is to buy guns no one wants thrn I’d be able to buy it. Sorry I don’t play that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything but 22lr I think it is partly the industry driving some of that but some falls on opportunistic retailers. I know smaller volume retailers don’t have the buying power of larger chains, but I am seeing $159 a brick for federal champion bulk at a local shop. I can’t imagine .22 is very lucrative for a manufacturer so maybe what we see hitting the shelves is NOS or something and retailers can’t afford to get stuck with inflated inventory. There is a decently large shop I frequented when I lived in Washington that would run a special on SB 115 9mm - 1,000 rounds for $95 out the door. The day after the Sandy Hook shooting, it was $45+tax a box. That isn’t increased replacement stock costs, that is trying to capitalize and hope no one realizes/remembers. It is a business so I am sure some degree of these shenanigans happened once the industry realized it could roll some profits into “global supply chain problems”. It will be nice to see things stabilize because I am starting to run “low” on .22. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Within the last month I've bought .380, 9mm, 45ACP, 223/5.56, and 7.62x39. Paid a bit more than I wanted (I want to pay the same price 2 years ago), but they were way cheaper than half a year ago. Honestly the prices I paid I wasn't too much more. All of it I bought direct from Federal/CCI/Blazer. They go in and out of stock and have free shipping. The prices killed Palmetto's pricing, or any other place by at least $50. If this keeps up I expect prices to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
