The ammo makers need to get production rolling again ASAP.

If someone can point me to some #7.5 12 ga 1-1/4 oz lead shot I’d be very appreciative. I’ve stacked the tree rats in the freezer for sure but I’m about to have to pull out the 20 ga due to my dwindling 12 ga supply.

I’ll settle for #6

Yeah, guns are easy to find. Used guns aren't like used cellphones, they don't become obsolete in 2 years. You can easily find something completely functional and reliable for at/under $300 (9mm pistol).

Ammo, on the other hand, is totally on lockdown.

i have Ak's and AR's. was thinking about a mini 14 or 30. do you have one? any suggestions? i have tons of other rifles and glock pistols and S&W revolvers.


Check out the Ruger PC Carbine in 9mm. I bought one and love it. It comes with an adapter for Glock magazines. Very easy to install. You can use Ruger mags or Glock mags. Yep, you can put a 32 round Glock joy stick in this baby. I bought 9mm because I do not want to have to inventory a lot of different calibers or gauges.

"I picked up that Ruger 57 about two months ago and I love it."


Having any trouble finding that 5.7X28?What kind of performance? Kinetic Energy KE=1/2m(v^2)

That 2000fps makes a lot of energy

Thats why the secret service uses a version of the 57. Also, the Fort Hood shooter used a FN version using that ammo and every person he shot was incapacitated. 100%

I don’t but will eventually. The Garand style action is my jam. I have a couple Ruger scout rifles (love that platform) in 5.56 and .308 and a 10/22.

After getting my Beretta CX Storm 2 years ago I’ve really been wanting both a Ruger PCC and a CZ EVO S1 carbine. Looks like my wait is going to be a long one.

I'd post pics of a full size SR9, the wife's Muddy Girl LC9S and my tricked out Mini-14 with digital camo print, aftermarket synthetic tactical body and folding stock...

But, you know, unfortunate marine mishap and all that.

Split off in a lot of directions.

Holy shite, for 13 million they got the patents to some of the popular guns ever built. A company could just produce quality 700s, 870s, 1100s and model 7s and rake in the $.

Honestly, anybody buying a gun right now, needs to buy a shotgun. Shotgun shells are still readily avilable, at least in my area. Otherwise they'd be better off saving their money. Guns aren't very usefull when you can't fire them.

My Marlin 30-30 with a Leupold VX2 2-7x33mm is my favorite deer rifle. I'm glad Ruger picked them up in Remington's meltdown.
