One Ton Of 5.56 Ammo

[Old Navy]

I was watching the local SLC news last night about a local gun store that had a line around the block when they opened yesterday. Seemed the owner received a large shipment of 5.56 and had advertised it. They were interviewing him in the store in from of a couple tables stacked with Winchester 5.56 62 grain ammo. The sigh on the table said: 200 round limit per customer per day. He must have had a lot for that high a limit. The story went on to say he had 2K customers that day and over 800 sales. I hope this is a sign of better things to come.

Wonder what the other 1200 customers were doing there with only 800 sales out of the 2000?

The other 1200 saw the price.

We have a local shop with a drum of green tips from the 2008 crisis still there straight from lake city. $12,000 if you want it that bad

The total ammo sold is actually more than a ton.
Assuming all 800 'sales' were for 200 rounds and each round weighs ~ 170 gr, that's 3885lbs of just rounds - i.e., not including any packaging.

I'm impressed.

I wish i had that drum BEFORE this happened. But I hate 223...

If you've ever owned a brick and mortar business you know not everyone is a buyer, especially of one product.

That store is about the only place in the area that’s had any ammo and reloading supplies. They have a line every day waiting for them to open.

Weblink to info? Just to see the interview.

I’m familiar with Gunnies; they’re a solid outfit and don’t participate in gouging. That’s probably why everyone was there. Im sure they weren’t charging $1 a round for it like some.

It was with good intentions I'm sure .....But ...Posts seem to have a LIFE of their own.
