How is ammo supply on Oahu?  Here in Hilo no one has .223, 5.56 or 7.62 X 39 anymore (except expensive stuff).  LGS out of 7.62 so I saw some at Sports Authority, Winchester white box for 16.99 per 20 rounds.  OUCH!  Same with .223, only Sports authority has in stock and it is $20.00 per box of 20.  Same on Oahu?  Saw shelf full of 9mm 2 days ago.  All gone now!

I believe ammo will be available no matter what if it can also be used for a non assault weapons. Seems people are buying everything as if all ammo will be banned. As an example, there are many 7.62x39 rifles that aren't assault weapons that people use for hunting. May end up being more regulated but who knows. JMHO

All assault ammo will be banned. Sorry. Ur out of luck

Not if it can be used for legitimate hunting purposes. Even the previous bans never went down that road. They may have stopped certain countries ammo importation, like China, but never deprived citizens U.S. ammo for weapons to hunt, and some 7.62x39 fall in that category. Now if the ammo is solely an assault weapon ammo and only for AWS, maybe, who knows. Of course that's assuming a ban is forthcoming. JMHO

No you're wrong.

All assault ammo will be banned, as well as all assault slings, assault buttstocks and all assault optics.

it comes and goes. OGC gets regular shipments, KGS gets odd shipments less regularly, i've never really bought ammo anywhere else because i always find what im looking for at one of those two shops.  its almost always differnt brands every time.

Its seems we get stuff 3 months after the mainland get theirs (as for firearms)

Notice when mainland shops start receiving the Keltec KSG  and the Springfield XDS those two items seems to arrive about 3 months later for Hawaii

Now with the magazine supply all out, someone posted on another thread that PMAGS might not be available til about 2 months and add the additional 3 months for Hawaii.

Personally I'll wait and see what happens in Congress and I'll buy little at a time as usual.

See, I bet you wished you kept that sling.

Also ban assault charge so I practice MMA on people

The shortage is all about supply & demand with a lot of greed thrown in.  Panic buying is going to deplete existing inventory--->Manufacturers are going to jack up prices to make the money while they can...most likely claiming additional costs involved in increased production.--->Retailers are going to markup to preserve margins and make up for long periods of empty shelves.--->Then the same panic buyers repeat the cycle.

I highly doubt there will be an outright ban on ammo. But whether it's a lack of supply or some stupid "ammo tax"...I can 100% guarantee prices will become outrageous,

BUD: Sorry to say it, but you've picked the wrong time to be looking for ammo. Most stocked up pre-election and the REALLY smart folks did it about a year ago when prices were about 15-25% cheaper. If you were on Oahu and asked last week, I'd probably have hook you up with a little from my stockpile to tide you over. But alas, I just sold the last of my "disposable" supply with no markup. The best advice I or anyone else will give at this point is to buy up whatever you can find and as much as you can afford. Whatever prices you see now (high as it may seem) might be as good as it gets for awhile.

Bro, I know it's true, but jerk responses are not necessary. We're a 2A community and considering how the anti's are gonna try to bend us over...we should try to be cool and helpful, at least towards each other. 

I'd like to extend a hearty "You're welcome" to all the forum members I hooked up with some great ammo at great prices.

Speaking of ammo I am looking at uppers in either 300 AAC or 6.8 spc, how prevelant is the ammo for them especially on the Big Island? (when things are "normal")
