Ammo Shortage 223 556 Panic Buying Has Started

[@sea-2366]

Government owns Lake City Ammo and will not sell to public but they will give it to other countries. Sounds normal for the government.

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

Correct, sounds about par for the coarse.

[@farmerdude3578]

The other countries there giving it to are communist.

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

Both are good men humble abd fire arms friendly I imagine they are supplied Israel with alot of their equipment. Czechlovia or now Czech Republic are great friendly allies to the USA unless Biden screws that pooch and with Israel. I have deep roots in and from czechlovia Prague. Cernosek roots

Surprisingly Sportsman Warehouse has sales online for both .223 and .556. Also 9mm is still $15 and below ⬇️ per 50 rounds.

[@phantomstrike3310]

I actually work at the gun counter at a Sportsman's Warehouse. Plenty of 9mm available, but 5.56 and .223 is going fast

[@isaac3086]

From what I understand it's not just 5.56 that Lake City is not selling to the civilian market it's all NATO cartridges 5.56 9mm 7.62x51 it's also in all the other Major Ammo producing companies contracts to do the same thing during war time, it probably gonna come that & if it does that means they only produce military cartridges and nothing for the civilian market. This happened during desert storm aswell. Here in Tennessee u couldn't find a primer or powder or Ammo on the shelf once it's gone it's gone, if the supplier can't get it the store can't get it, God Speed y'all Jesus Christ is King !

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

It was exactly the same in Kentucky and the internet was virtually bare as well. God bless

[@donaldhancock7041]

My patriot brothers Don't forget to stock at least 100.000 ROUNDS OF 22 they are still very affordable

[@patrick-rb3ul]

Thanks for posting your and our concerns regarding this moment in time. Personally, I have been prepped since the days of Slick Willie and am set! Others out there may have no choice but to panic buy. Good luck out there! Peace out!

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

Thanks for watching Patrick, we appreciate you. Keep your powder dry.

[@DavidSmith-pd6cm]

Not just 223 or 556. Those primers fit a bunch of calibers. Also pistol ammo is flying off the shelf all over Dallas.

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

It's a shame if folks aren't prepared. I've been getting reports from all over the country of it being gobbled up. Thank you

[@greybone777]

The military has only 556 that uses small rifle primers. Most rifle cartridges use large rifle primers.

[@fin59shaw]

A lot of places online hide the price increases with shipping fees. I found a place that is priced honestly, and actually does have the best price. I am not panic buying, but I would rather buy more now, than just watch the price keep going up. Shortages don't mean that you can't get it, but it may not be affordable.

From what I gather, CSG are good people. But you never know what's around the corner these days

[@donaldhancock7041]

Don't forget to stock pile plenty of mags. That is another thing I have noticed is going up in price.

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

Yes, don't forget to keep plenty of mags on hand. Great advice Donald

[@keithstone6856]

If people haven't been paying attention over the past few years, they must have been living under a rock. When it comes to stocking ammo, or anything else for that matter, slow and steady wins the race. Most people don't even have enough food and water for two weeks. That's my main concern. When the masses get hungry and desperate, watch out! We're going to have to hold our own I'm afraid...

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

Exactly right, slow and steady wins every time. That's what I'm trying to relate to our viewers. I'm afraid some people really don't see or don't wanna see what's coming. Thanks for your comment.

[@ronin8490]

You did what?

Nothing wrong with 9 carbine except lethality and distance, but a great close distance choice. I'm still seeing plenty of 9mm still as well. Prices are crazy though without a decent sale price. Thanks for sharing.

Stock up on TRAINING AMMO. You need to train. You don't need as much defensive ammo. Training is expensive. So yeah, we need to stay ahead of the curve.

That’s Interesting, the ammunition that is manufactured with our Tax dollars isn’t available for us?

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

Correct. You called that exactly right. Makes you wonder what's really brewing?

[@OliverHaddo-x7n]

Join the army. They'll give you plenty. Defense plants have no business producing for the civilian market. It's not what they're for.

[@OliverHaddo-x7n]

What's brewing is that Lake City is finally focusing on the mission for which it actually exists: Arming the military. Middle aged fat guys LARPing as soldiers, despite their pretensions to being a "militia" are not in any way national a defense priority.

[@JoeSmith-fu9yx]

If you haven’t stocked up on.223/5.56 over the last few months then you’re outta luck for a while. Get going on the 9mm and .308 if you need it because Winchester already said those are getting hiked then cut off soon. The 9mm shouldn’t be too bad because everyone makes it but .308/7.62 could be a problem. Not trying to scare people but that 55gr target ammo literally disappeared in a few days after Winchester canceled those orders.

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

That's exactly why I posted the video, not to make people panic, but get what they need soon. I don't see any restock in site either. When it's gone it's gone. Thanks for watching.

[@JoeSmith-fu9yx]

@@ourkentuckyhome771 PMC gave a lead time of mid December on 5.56 so that’s not very promising.

[@mrshort2379]

Personally I think everybody reporting on ammo crisis, are the ones responsible for inviting panic buying. American Ammunition Company (AAC) will gladly pick up allot of the slack, for winchester and more. we all new about lake city plant cutting off 5.56/223 for a couple years now since the induction with the new 6.8x51 cartridge. All this is, is a ploy to jack up ammo prices for the holidays, and current overseas events are not helping!

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

I highly recommend AAC as stated in video. I don't disagree about the more people talk about it, can cause more people buying, however I believe it's only right I explain to our viewers what is coming. If the government was cutting off your water tomorrow and I knew about it, I'd feel crappie watching you die of thirst.

[@l82nite]

I wonder if it's a shortage, or is it just hording. Know of a few people that would over buy, then sell for a huge profit. At least try to sell. They are the real problem.

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

Well during the scamdemic that was definitely going on. I'm sure that will happen again whenever we find bare shelves. Thanks for sharing

[@Anthony74te27]

Vista Outdoors sold ammunition business to CSG and they are the 4th largest ammunition producer in E.U. The sale will be finalized by the end of the year. It may not be a bad thing after all looking at CSG they are one of the big defense industry producer in Europe. The impact if there's any will not be until early next year. They might get the market share left by Lake City for civilian market which is 30% of .556/223. From business stand point that's a hefty share and it would be foolish for other ammo companies not to garb that market share.

Thanks for watching, we appreciate any support.

Don't buy anything during a shortage. Don't ever pay those raised prices or you'll incentivize those prices to stay raised for longer.

[@graystoke8229]

The government will do whatever it wants with Lake City. It's the government. I'll be more worried if the private sector ammunition manufacturers are being harassed or even cannot find components to make product. Regarding CSG's purchase of Vista Outdoor, well it's a relatively free market. If they screw up, then there are other manufacturers willing to fill the void. Most likely CSG is very interested in the value generated by Vista Outdoors. They want a piece of the lucrative US market.

[@ourkentuckyhome771]

CSG should be able to pickup Winchester market share here in the state if they play their cards right. With PSA bringing in their line of ammo, I'm sure they will ramp up as well. Thanks for watching.

Fact Israel created Hamas as a political party in Palestien to compete with a man by the name of Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini (4/24 August 1929 - 11 November 2004), popularly known as Yasser Arafat who ran the Palestien party Israel was trying to destroy by creating Hamas.
