Investing in ammo companies: Investing In Guns And Ammo Bottom line: It's not possible to buy stock in a pure US ammo manufacturer, as they are either private or part of a much larger, diversified company. It may be possible to buy stock in an overseas ammo manufacturer. Excerpt:

Oops good catch, sorry. I went back and corrected the post.

Here's a post I made on another site a few months ago. It has a lot of info as to why we have an ongoing ammo shortage. ---------------- I've been searching a bit and found some interesting docs. They explain just how limited the production capacity is. For example, the US military annual...

The .22LR version of the LCR holds 8 rounds. The .22 magnum holds 6. The .38 SPL and .357 magnum versions hold 5. Ruger's web page with specs on the various models of LCR is here. BTW, I bought the .38 SPL version with the fat Hogue Tamer grips and Lasermax at the front, rather than the much...

No, and now I'm curious as to why a smart person such as yourself would interpret it that way. I'm wondering why it is that, of the roughly 1 in 100 million people who shoot up schools, nearly 100% of them are on SSRIs, why it's almost never done by one of the millions of mentally ill...

I had never considered that. Now I don't know if I should thank you for saving me a ton of money, or curse you for prompting me to go out and get yet another gun! Seriously, I can see some real value in an air gun. Thanks for posting this.

To me the big risk is that an insane NK leader launches a rain of chemical weapons on Seoul and the other population centers in SK. Sure, in the end he loses. But he is perfectly capable of delivering a massive load of death on his way out. It's the poor man's nuke. It's completely doable...

I enjoyed the article. Thanks for posting the link. One important thing they missed is the nearly 100% correlation between mass shooters and SSRI usage. Until this link is studied and a causal link established or eliminated, and a direction of causality established, we really won't know if...

I recently backordered a Ruger MKIII 22 LR as a way to reduce my ammo expenses compared to shooting the G17 or the LCR. :uhoh: I had one of those Ruger 22 target pistols in the 1980s and just loved it. I'm looking forward to rekindling the love affair. ;) Most recent shotgun was an IAC Hawk...

I'm pretty paranoid about checking before handling a weapon. I never consciously work on a loaded weapon. Mistakes of course can happen, but personally I don't take that kind of shortcut.

Same here. For the foreseeable future I'll mostly be shooting .22LR (6 cents / round) and 12 GA bird shot (25 cents / round). Just a few rounds in other calibers / shot configurations, as they are so much more expensive. BTW there is no shooting that costs $0, sadly. It's like driving your...

Nowadays our foreign policy seems to involve attacking our allies (Libya, Pakistan), and back away from Democratic allies (fuzzy commitment to Taiwan, massive cooling of talk towards Israel). In other words, I don't have any faith that we would defend South Korea since it won't poll well. I...

The only cheap & widely available rifle ammo for AK-pattern rifles nowadays is 5.45. I've been stocking up on it in anticipation of purchasing an AK-74. I'll just put the AK-47 (7.62) and AKS-84 (.223) on the shelf for a while until the ammo price / availability situation changes. The 5.45 is...

I wonder if it would be a repeat of Viet Nam. We had a negotiated peace, the communists agreed to stay back in the north (not that they actually did), and we pulled out August 15, 1973. We promised to defend the south if the north invaded again per treaty. Then, almost 2 years later, North...

email notifications of new stock A number of sites allow you to at least sign up for email notification when the stuff comes back into stock. If you have a smart phone you can react almost instantly. If you don't have a smart phone you can send the alerts to an email gateway that will send a...

I bought my first AK in the late 1980s, when I lived in California and they were pushing an AWB (sound familiar?) I chose a Norinco underfolder AKS-84 (.223) for about $300 because the ammo cost about 15 cents per round versus 45 cents for 7.62. Now I'm looking for a deal on an AK-74 because...

Not temporary There isn't a shortage of ammo. There is a shortage of *cheap* ammo. It's the same with Ferraris. Unlike Ferraris, you can occasionally score ammo at well under market price, enough to fill your stock. I don't see ammo prices declining much over the long term. There are a...

Occasional good deals to be had Over the last few months I've bought thousands of rounds at what is nowadays considered good prices (e.g. 32 cents / round for .223, 6 cents / round for .22LR, 34 cents / round for 7.62 x 39). It can be done with the help of some online tools, but you have to...
