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")

Young Guns still had some 22 bricks in stock. They also had 5.56 and .223 ammo available but were limiting sales to 200 rds per person

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 am stocked up.  Was just curious if the inventory on Oahu was as slim as Hilo.  Thanks!
