Feds Buying Up All Surplus Ammo, Ordering Stores To Cease Sales?

Feds Buying Up All Surplus Ammo, Ordering Stores To Cease Sales?: While the news is startling and one can only speculate on the reason Homeland security needs so much ammunition an even more alarming report has surfaced today.

According to an anonymous source the federal government is buying out all ammunition from military surplus stores and says vendors have told him they have been instructed to cease sales of ammunition to the public.

The source claims to have contacted numerous military surplus stores in an attempt to purchase 5.56 ammo and has been repeatedly informed the stores are sold out because the federal government is buying out all surplus ammo.

The vendors are also sold out of Federal M193 and M855 SS109 ammunition and military surplus suppliers and say that any remaining supply of 5.56 ammunition and .223 caliber is about to spike significantly in price due to the shortage being created by the government.

The source points out that after recently purchasing 440 rounds of federal surplus steel core ammo for $149.00 the price has now skyrocketed to over $440.00 for the same amount of ammunition.

While all of this is coming from an unreliable anonymous source I am putting it out there in case the claims are true.
