Why the run on 22lr ammo??

[aggie_archer]

At work we can't keep .22 lr on the shelf, from what i have got from the people i have talked to....everyone owns at least 1 if not more .22's and the ammo is cheap...i picked up 2,000 rounds for under $35! i know its no .223 or 5.56 but its still a bullet and can still put an animal (or person if needed) done with a good shot.

Because it is cheap and you can carry/store a BUNCH of it.

Cause next to AR's the 22's have the most high cap mags out there is my guess so all those people are buying them up just incase. Also consider how many AR's that shoot 22's were sold just cause they look like AR-15's during all this

Those tactical 22's are the shiznit.

I read that law enforcement is starting to use these for training because the ammo is cheaper. I wonder if there's any truth to that?

I got a S&W 15-22 and can't wait to doll her up and plink away.

Where the heck did you get a deal like that? I'd be set for life.

Threads like this will even make it harder to find. People are panic buying. This craze will end soon................hopefully!

With all due respect, it doesn't need a TBH thread to start the panic buying when headlines are screaming about what will amount to the most expansive regulations on firearms control since 1968. This does not seem to be a flash in the pan. However, I pray that it is. And we *do* need to remain level headed.

I hope he gets stuck with a bunch of ammo he cant use. Expensive ammo!
Dont everyone run out and buy 22lr if you dont need it. Stock up when the sky is not falling. Its not fair to the folks that actually need it.

So, who "needs" it?

Yea I have an poly lower receiver I just finished putting a parts kit in and I'm thinking very seriously about building a designated 22 out of it. Cheap and fun to shoot for sure

.22 ammo will be the new currency after the economy collapses.

EPA is banning lead.

[DrawBack]

Most versatile round in a survival situation. Easy to carry 1000's of rounds of .22lr, not so much with .223.

Thanks for the offer. Shoot me a PM with the specifics...ammo type, brand etc.
