Do you stockpile ammo?

[Agent Ronin]

Stockpile...I dislike that word...like "arsenal" its unfortunately come to imply some sort of lunatic getting ready for some revolution.

I've nicknamed my basement "The Armory" does that sound like a lunatic preparing for the revolution?

[Member0001]

Agent, It might to some.

[God's Country]

If you've nicknamed your basement the armory........youuuuu might a redkneck.



the armory I love it!



If you can't spell redkneck....youuuu might be a redneck.

Look at my flag, I guess it is self explanatory.

1500-2000 rounds per weapon is closer to actually stockpiling ammo, but not quite...

I guess that makes me a stockpiler. I usually have at least 1000 rds for each gun, so some sizes I have in fair numbers. The serious NFA people will have a magnitude beyond this. 10k+ is common with machinegunners.

I just found another 20mm can full of steel core '39 on stripper clips last week. Looks like Search & Destroy will be having a warm summer on the range.

Not concerned about imminent invasion or doom, just sick & tired of the way things were in the 60s and 70s where foreign ammo sizes were either unobtainable or horrendously expensive when found. Example: when the 7.62x54R sniping ammo (7N1) surfaced last year, I bought 6-7 cases even though I only have one SVD. It's meant to last a lifetime, or at least sweeten the pot if I need college edu funds for S&D when they get to college.

Prior to the 7N1, the last case of ammo I bought was in the early 1990s, I'm still going through it.

No, I do something similar. My gun collection is also the "Armory", but more in the Inc./LLC context. Since it's more or less self-sustaining, I sometimes buy small gifts for the wife from "Armory" funds. While it is bribery in the simplest form, it is effective.

4000 rounds of .22 LR......the survivalist ammo.

Good point, Lyc. I need 22, bad. My kids tear through it like there's no tomorrow.

I tend to have less than 200 for each caliber except 22lr, for which I keep a brick. I need to keep more on hand, but I'm too busy saving for a homeland defense rifle before they get banned.

[ithinkimamedic]

I wouldnt call it stockpileing ammo persay. But I do follow the mantra of buy it cheep stack it deep. 17k and counting

[ReefBlue]

I have probably 600 rounds of .223, but BMG rounds are too expensive to amass at this time.
I also have maybe 250 of .45.

[JustinM]

I could afford to shoot 1 round a day 164 years.

It pays to have a rich uncle that loves guns.
