“A bad idea. Ammunition is 50% to 100% more expensive for nearly any rifle caliber on GB. Case in point: I recently ordered .308 and 5.56 (M193 and M855) from Widener's for about half what the same ammunition was going for on GB.com.”

Huh? Gun broker is just a website that allows you to see what is offered by thousands of different sellers, and bid the price you are willing to pay.

They set no prices on anything, and you have to keep checking in to find the good deals as the come in.

GB is an online auction site; as such, there are set prices or reserves on nearly everything.

(prices per 1000 rounds)
Palmetto Armory: M855 $422 shipped M193 $382 shipped
Wideners: M855 $442 shipped M193 $378 shipped
Gun Broker.com M855 $585-749 w/out shipping
M193 $419-579 w/out shipping


No contest. Spend some time shopping around, and there are plenty of suppliers out there. On any weapons forum, GB prices are the butt of many routine jokes.
