    The biggest problem with the ban is that it will take a shit ton of ammo supply out of the market, thus driving the price of ALL 5.56mm/.223 up. Simple "supply/demand" economics. Also there's the "slippery slope" argument ... if they can arbitrarily ban this ammo because it's "capable of penetrating body armor" then they can probably ban ALL rifle ammo under the same rubric.

    Looks like prices are in between .50 and .60 per round online. (Jason's guns, Armlist, Gunbroker) If it keeps climbing I might have to sell off some of the stock and use the money to buy some decent bullets to load in my thousands of round of brass. Something with better performance and penetration than m855. (like some Barnes TSX or Sierra match)

    It's not so much the pistol brace guys, but its the dumbass, let's write a letter to the ATF to ask permission or the even stupider, you can't do that and I'll prove it by asking the ATF guys.

    As I said earlier, I almost wonder if F-Troop didn't engineer this mess from the start by signing off on the SIG Brace to begin with (thus causing an explosion in sales in AR pistols ... now they can claim there are enough out there that they're "in common use").

    Take that Dicks add for $49.98 for the 150rd green box found in who knows which M855 thread here, perhaps this one, go over to Gander Mountain and buy as many as you want for $.33/rd plus tax.

    As I recall, the dicks ad is good through 2-21.

    LOL

    idk if the time spent pulling all those tula/wolf bullets and reloading them in lc brass would equate into a profit....seems like a lot of work.

    I understand the issue with the ban; I was just intrigued by the comments of those who bought some because they had zero on hand. If I used that logic, I'd go broke in record time.
