.45 ACP ammo

[Moonlite37]

What is a fair price to ask for 1,000 rounds of ,45 ACP hardball?

 

[RGMartin]

"Fair price" or what it is currently selling for?

Assuming recent production factory ammo?


A year ago $350-400 a thousand would have been ballpark.

Current market is $1 a round and up with no shortage of buyers at those prices.

Some will depend on age and manufacturer. The rest on weather you want to charge a fair prior to the panic buying price or if you want to gouge. 300 before......700-800 if you get greedy.

I wouldn't pay that much for old army surplus and especially not for some of that foreign army surplus stuff.

I wonder if the higher price is from the manufacturers, distributors or retailers?

I'd say yes to all 3 I bet they all mark it up a tad bit

This is Olin Matheson military stuff still in the G.I. metal Box. A few years ag in was in a shooting team and had one metal box of 1000 rounds plus a lifetime supply left

 

[Bret4207]

Commercial stuff? These days the sky is the limit.

Probably, but it seems very difficult to find who jacked up prices 100% or more.
No mention if by the manufacturer which in turn would force distributors and retailers to do the same just to maintain profit margin.
Could be the distributors and retailers jacking the prices.
Or just the retailers.

4520bw, As a Marine in Vietnam that is exactly what I carried. Everything in the picture.

I was in a gun shop at Evansville Indiana
the other day only ammo they had was one
table not full. $2 per shell. With a 100
shell limit. You could mix and match. All
I saw were 12 guage 9mm 5.56 45acp.

Most gun stores are not jacking up the prices. Its the guys that buy the limit on ammo then send their wives in and but the limit too. Then the sell it on line at crazy prices. I saw an 8 LB keg of gunpowder that normally sells for a few hundred dollars sell for $4600 on the internet.

No more online sales of ammo or guns, so no more sales by speculators online and no sales without doing so through an FFL holder.
Another campaign promise to be signed.

Yes and next gun registration then gun confiscation. Hope neither happen but it will not surprise me if it isn't tried

If and whenever a gun is bought via an FFL holder, it is "registered" to you, forever.
Unless you sell it via the same route.
