bought 5.7 ammo RECENTLY?

iwantaj20 · Post by **iwantaj20** » 02 Jan 2013, 09:21

this is JANUARY 2013 i can not find any 5.7x28mm anywhere the 197 or the 195, called cabelas they said they took it off their website, every major gun store in 50 miles of me, all sold out and say they have no idea when they will get more....

can someone fill me in? like what does this mean are they no longer producing the 5.7 or banning it or just too slow at making more 5.7s to sell to civilians??

I bought some AE TMJs in early December, but the site I got them from is sold out now. The stuff I have seen in stock recently is all AE. If you're super desperate and don't mind paying a lot more than retail, there's gunbroker.

70 dollars a box seems a little high

Just before Christmas I was in Sportsman's Outdoors here in Bend, Oregon and they had two or three cases of 5.7x28 ammo, marked (as I recall) at $27.95/box. I went back in there just after Christmas and ALL of it was gone. The guy behind the counter said that one guy came in and bought all they had. So my guess is it's the craziness that has set in, causing folks to begin hoarding, not because FN isn't producing it. Be patient and visit your ammo dealers frequently.

Nothing has been banned but there is panic buying going on everywhere and the factory just isn't stepping up production like they said they would a long time ago.

No, it really sucks because we can't get supplies from our vendors

But it is also industry-wide

Don't worry.

Some ammo is hitting shelves in the next 2 months.

You'd better be alert or talk to your LGS, because even some LGS owners are keeping thousands when they come in, leaving only a few thousand for customers.

Of course, this could be all internet speculation that I didn't get from the internet.

Just about the time I think of putting some of my stash up for sale, Cabela's has 197 back in stock for $23.99 a box. Item jc-215995. Get it while you can. Hopefully this is a sign that supplies are back in the pipeline.

Bought 30 boxes a few days ago from Cabela's @ $23.99. I never got any confirmation emails, but looking at my orders from my Cabela's account shows it being shipped with tracking numbers.

Are you sure you confirmation didn't get sent into the spam filter? That's what usually happens to mine.

Nope, nothing sent to spam. I check that nightly.
