Need some ammo price advice

[Guest MilitiaMan]

What would be a decent price to pay for a 820 rd case of M193 ball, 55gr Malaysia ammo? Original boxes and ammo case.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

[Patton]

Since no one else will answer I would want to pay less than $375. Around $300 would probably be a steal.

[Guest MilitiaMan]

Yikes! (to the price it was offered to me at). Thank you. You helped save me from severely overpaying.

[Patton]

Well, $500 would be the absolute Mac I would even think about. That equals about the most expensive I have seen it for on store shelves.

[Guest MilitiaMan]

Thanks Patton. I will send seller an offer.

[Troutburger]

Seller is gonna want $1.00 per round. I would want to pay closer to .30 per round pre panic. 

[Guest MilitiaMan]

Thanks guys. Instead of making a new thread and cluttering the board, I will ask my next question here.

 

 

What would you place a higher priority on?

 

1. Buying a second AR15

 

or

 

2. Buying more ammo for G19 and 1st AR15

 

 

I can do one or the other right now and am torn between which should be more important.

Hold off on the AR, prices are falling, no need to overpay if you have one already.

 

Don't severely overpay for 5.56 ammo, but .60 per round is a steady price right now. Yes it's high but it's that or don't shoot.

Thanks Lumber_Jack.

I wouldn't waist money on an AR unless it was below preelection prices. Ammo will continue to go up in price. I will also say that for a while 9mm ammo will be scarce and +$15 per box. I am seeing a lot of 5.56 at reasonable prices.
Warning, all of this advice is moot if another event were to happen.

Last .223 I bought I got for $10 per box of 20. So $.50 per round. And i am of the same thinking as lumberjack. AR prices will be coming back before long so no need to overpay now. I vote ammo.

I wouldn't buy a second AR. I'd be buying ammo...for a lot of my speculative reasons.
