The Feds don’t use much 22LR—so, where the hell is it?
They used to stamp it out by the BILLIONS.
I watch a site called ‘gunbrokerdotcom’, and there is a continuous supply of .22lr for sale. At any given point in time, there are easily 30,000 rounds for sale.
The problem is the price...triple and quadruple normal prices. And this is a bidding site...so people are regularly bidding and buying at these inflated prices.
With this much profit to be made, I suspect that anyone who works in a Wally World gun dept., or behind the counter at Dicks, etc. is going to buy the stuff up for retail, and immediately auction it off on an auction site.
I agree with you on this, they are buying 9mm, 40 cal and .223. I don’t understand the lack of other sizes of ammo. It could be that they are buying it as well or putting pressure on the producers. I think more likely we are dealing with greed. One of us should get an importers license and start bringing it in by cargo trailer load. This is stupid.
