I live in MA, and was unable to find 9mm ammo. Not surprising, I guess.

I just bought five cannisters of ammo for my Garand from the CMP, and it took me three months to get it.

I just spent 10 days driving around the country, was down in Tenneseee...went to a Walmart and bought all the 9mm ammo they had to bring back with me. It was only five boxes, but hey...better than only having one clip to load for protection.

I ordered 500 rds of .30 Carbine from the CMP in early January and got it in early April. I think they have a lot of ammo (.30-06, .22LR, .223 Rem, .30 Carbine) but just don't have the staff to keep up with the increase in demand since the election. I already had a ton of .30-06 for my Garands as I plan on retiring in a few years so I wanted to stock up. Glad now that I did.

If anyone's interested the CMP (www.odcmp.com) also has some Garands, Carbines and a few 03 and 03A3's for sale. The posted waiting time is 3-6 months though.
