My problem is that, although I do have a few thousand Aguila 62gn FJM left, most of My Stockpile Ammo is M855a1 EPR. Sealed Cans. I also have a bunch of MK 262 I don't want to open any of the M855a1 unless "I really Have To" it was purchased for one reason only and that ain't plinking... It's also just too hard on guns for a plinking round. I suppose I will just slow down a bit on training and hope like last time, things will go back to- "NORMAL". Prices never did go back to normal after Obama though. Hopefully We don't see 5.56 go to $0.50 per round... |

I'm sure I could stretch what I have out for a decade. Heck, I still have cases of 193 that I bought in 2011. I've always bought a couple hundred rounds just prior to range trips and made sure I didn't shoot it all. Even so, I want more. I won't shoot 5.56 recreationally until it's easily obtainable again. I'll stick to .22. |

I'll do some entry and vehicle maneuvers as I get My hands on new ammo. I still want to train twice a week, minimum. I also think it would be very unwise to buy ammo at currently inflated rates due to fear of future availability. Based on the information I have gathered via Friends in the industry and Online articles, I believe this will likely blow over in 3 to 4 weeks. |

For those of you/us sweating ammo availability, it would be a good use of your time to do dry work. There is A LOT that can be accomplished without ammo and it is easy to view ammo scarcity as a blessing and not a curse.

Ive ditched all of mine. Agreed. For 20" barreled guns, I think the A5 is awesome. For everything else, it's pretty easy to screw it up and make the gun short stroke. @Number0neGun @ RustedAce I started a thread about JP AR10 H2 SCS's installed in SBR and AR15's. I have 2 and they run great. They do take a bit of modification. I get another 3/16" of buffer stroke, along the H2 Buffer. I have these both coupled with LMT Enhanced BCG's and SF Warcomps. I don't know what it is but this specific set up runs without any failures so far(I'm talking 2-3000 rounds) and the recoil impulse is akin to a 22LR or maybe a BB gun. I have One JP AR-10 SCS setup in a 10-5 LMT MRP and One setup in an 11-5 Colt SOCOM/FBI HRT Clone. In either, You can swap out the AR10 JP SCS for an H2 Buffer w/ LMT CLBS. Totally different animal, much more muzzle rise. I tried H3 Buffers and they were actually a bit worse than the H2. *I did have to modify with the rear nylon buffer so that the JP guide rod stops 10 or 20 thou before striking the Firing Pin. That being said, I ran 4 or 500 rounds before I even noticed any contact was being made at all. I was aware contact was possible, but thought the spring was returning prior to contact. Not so, after said amount of rounds were fired, slight wear marks were found on back of firing pin but were light enough hits to not even dent the guide rod screw or firing pin whatsoever. OK, long winded post...later. |
