I stocked up on everything needed last year, and topped it off with a lifetime supply in my three most popular calibers... .22LR, 9mm and 5.56 NATO. Even BEFORE this stupid COVID-19 reared it's ugly head, I knew an election year was coming up and what stupidity it would bring from many folks, so like Para has ALWAYS recommended, I took care of matters early!

Good luck in your quest!

Next time, adhere to a key SIGforum guideline - stock up when things are quiet.

They only sell those to LE or "qualified" persons.

Hmm...I thought they had relaxed that policy when they went to the membership/buyers club thing...

On a slightly different note, I live in California and I'm hearing all these stories of first time gun buyers, probably liberals, wanting to buy guns and ammo and wanting them now. Apparently, they don't know that we have a 10 day waiting period before you can pick up your gun.

My buddy who lives in Jersey was picking up a lower this week and while he was there, he Watched them answer several calls from people wanting to buy guns immediately with no clue about needing a FOID and pistol permit.

Hopefully this is a crash course for a lot of people in with their rights are important.

Same thing in NY with Handguns. The local shop sold every Shotgun, Semi Auto Rifle, even the pump action .308 AR and the Frankenguns that had been sitting on the shelf for years. The owner helped out a local soccer Mom by selling her a WWII Winchester M1 Carbine and ammo. I think the old gallery .22 on the wall sold too. The lever guns were almost gone too.

Yet, the pistol cases are full of guns. Folks are very surprised they they need a pistol license and amendment to buy a pistol. .40 S&W and .38 are still on the shelf; 9mm and 5.56 are gone. The NICS line was packed.

Interestingly, the regulars weren't around except the ones that were helping run the store.

I jokingly said that should start pushing the SMLE Mk 3 and Mk4s as they had ammo for them and they worked in the great war.

I was packing some things and found more ammo in the closet.

Buying online and then getting that online company to ship to my might be closed gun shop is a PITA. Thankfully I stocked up on lots of premium defense ammo when I could, and have even more ball ammo of all my calibers and some calibers I don’t even have guns for. Not doing any recreational shooting at this time until further notice. Ranges closed anyway

In all seriousness, I was thinking to pull my No. 4 Mk 1* out, and give it a good cleaning and oiling. Just in case. ETA-but there's very little 303 British ammo here I should have mentioned.

I'm just shaking my head in amazement.

If I found one chambered in .308 I'd be all over it. It's a nice rifle.

^^^^^
I have substantially more ammo for my M1 Garand than my AR15.

I love mine, shot a few matches with it in the mid '90s with surplus ammo. Less than 40 rounds for it on hand. Guess I'll break out the M1 Carbine instead.
