How many of us are buying guns with no ammo available?

Sigh. I picked up a rifle in 6.5 Creedmor. I have no ammo for it...

Fortunately, I have metric butt-tons of .223/5.56 or 9mm to trade for some when the weather improves a bit and I'm ready to go out and sight this critter in.

Being relatively new to guns, I was a little naive to the ammo shortage and bought a .45 colt revolver in mid December. Finally found some ammo for it which arrived last week, but have yet to take it to the range.

I need to find .30 Carbine for an M1 Carbine I bought

Affording it may prove to be more difficult than finding it.
Still quite a bit of the Korean surplus available at thirty some plus cents more per rnd than it was going for back in August.

Just ordered a Smith & Wesson 41, but I have tons of ammo for it.

I bought a Colt 6920 M4orgery in 5.56mm. No 5.56 available.



Because I'd already bought all of it.

Years ago I saw the writing on the wall and stocked up on .223 brass, projectiles, primers and powder.
I have some 5.56 brass that I didn't cut down for 300 BO if you are interested. Just cover shipping.
You could always swap out the upper for a 223 Wylde and reliably shoot either or.
Not to launch a huge discussion but the 5.56 chamber will shoot .223 easily but not the absolute best, and don't even bother to shoot 5.56 in a .223 chamber, too risky with over pressure issues.
BTW, I have an original Colt A1 from 1970's vintage with the triangle front guard. Looks kind of "out of place" in today's environment.

I'm thinking about going the other direction and selling the majority of guns and ammo that I do have. The country is about to radically change and I could use the money to help buy a piece property somewhere.

We've been considering Argentina for years. Retirement is almost upon my wife and I.
