I went to my favorite range today to sight in my AK-47 7.62x39 clone with another red dot. While there a discussion transpired about bulk ammo sales and a visit from ATF. In the last month 2 customers who ordered bulk ammo got a visit by ATF within 2 hours of delivery. The ATF said, "You received a UPS shipment of ammo and we want to see the gun it is for". Both customers complied. Also when you get the visit you are placed on a watch list in the event any crime is committed in your local area by the caliber they have you now listed for; they can request to do a ballistic test on your weapon.
This is not Tin Foil and the range owner later confirmed what had been said. This is actually a low crime area so no one we know of has had their weapon tested or asked for, as of yet.
I live in a border state whereby in a couple of directions you are at the Mexican Boarder.
I assume this is to stop someone from buying ammo for someone else or the result of the last crazy who purchased ammo on line?
Has anyone else been told or experienced this to be true?
