SGAmmo is an interesting company. It’s a bit dramatic at times and no bullshit in others. It’s not exactly my preference to have the drama built into the merchant experience but it works for SG.
SGAmmo threads in GD are always good for entertainment though. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: $189 ÷ 1,000 = $0.189 or 19 cents per round Correct. 19 cents per round, not .19 cents per round. BIG difference. Owning 50 guns isn't the same as owning .50 guns. I bet you’re fun at parties. |

Quoted: 7.62x51, 7.62x54 or 7.62x39? About the same time I was buying the $3.00 5.56, a Chinese SKS was going for $75 and a 1440 round case of 7.62x39 was $60.

Now "he's"......pRiCe gOWJinG Lmao...people never learn. .223 has NEVER been under a quarter of a cent per round. Never is a long time. I used to buy 5.56 m193 in 20 round kraft boxes for $3.00. Can't remember if it was Federal or IMI, of course this was in the mid eighties. But then again I remember five gallons of gas for $1.00. Yeah, I'm old. You remember 7.62 at 4 for a penny? 7.62x51, 7.62x54 or 7.62x39? About the same time I was buying the $3.00 5.56, a Chinese SKS was going for $75 and a 1440 round case of 7.62x39 was $60. Ahhh, the salad days. I bought a Chinese SKS and that case of ammo for 69$ each at a show. |

There is Wolf X39 Steel Case for $0.40 / $399.00/1000 Shipped out there for purchase RFN. Sam can do what he feels best for his business. Why all the hate for the free market? Commie infiltrators maybe?

I don't care about SG taking ammo off and uploading it at higher prices as I do him misrepresenting the Russian Ammo Ban situation when the news broke as if the next day we weren't getting anymore ammo.

View Quote The trump slump emails were definitely dire, 2020 hit and kicked off his very professional "I fucking told you to buy cheap" email (not being sarcastic, it was very professional and straightforward, but the message was clear ), and since then his prices haven't been too competitive as TSUSA and others get stock in. It's a bummer, because I've never had a bad experience with the place. Just isn't competitive right now. |

How dare Sam do exactly what I would if I were him.
He needs to sell it to me at a loss so I can cash in or he is a greedy capitalist . |

Quoted: He lost a lot of respect by manipulating his inventory numbers. 10 in stock...7...3...1... Then 10 in stock again. View Quote When you sell ammo both by the box and the case, if you open a case to sell as individual boxes, the case count would drop by one while the individual box count would go up by individual number of boxes in the case. Right? |

Guess I'm done buying through them. He can hold onto his inventory if he wants.
SG ammo hasn't been competitive since pre-COVID. Plenty of places to buy 7.62x39 for 30-35 CPR right now. |

When I was looking for 5.45 he was more expensive than CTD, actually CTD was the least expensive at the time. Peak ????

Quoted: When you sell ammo both by the box and the case, if you open a case to sell as individual boxes, the case count would drop by one while the individual box count would go up by individual number of boxes in the case. Right? View Quote In theory, yes. But the inconsistencies were on certain ammo items. Specifically I watched the numbers re-roll on Serbian 7.62 x 54R. But the wooden crates that Serb x39 ammo was coming in were also for sale, and they were inventory listed in the 90s. When they run to zero, they go out of stock. Could be automated as some say, could be toyed with as I believe. Neither of us will be able to prove it. Without question he had on numerous occasions fanned fears of shortages in what almost certainly was intended to spark a run on sales. Since Covid first broke ammo has been retarded. That first run, plant shut downs, blm riots then the election. Then we had the ban on future imports in the summer of 2021. I simply can't understand how someone would continue to operate 'as usual' without considering the current volatility (and the flat out notification that your prime supplier is being cut) and not do any sort of forecasting or potential business modifications. -- The point that I was trying to make from my very first post was SG has played games before. Multiple re-hashes to that throughout the 7-8 pages, and i do appreciate you finding them before skipping to the end. I 'm having trouble finding all of the responses myself. -Not directed to Lumper - Too many here are the equivalent of the left in that "anything that disagrees with me is communist" instead of racist. Especially when 87% of them are the same ones who drool over aoc because of "dem tiddies". A self pronounced socialist who has said she wants to take your guns, your home, your meat, and your car. They are going to great lengths to denegrate anyone who mentions SG has conducted himself poorly in the past. What is essentially a carnival barker, who no one disagrees is no longer competitive today with the other options; over further sanctions that have not even occurred. I also saw many of you were upset that Texas LTC instructors lobbied against our Con-Carry bill before it passed. Trying to protect their business, remember? At least try to remain consistent in your faux admonitions. |

Quoted: So why are you buying Russian ammo? Does this make you a Russian Enabler? View Quote I really haven't since prior to 2016. As mentioned, I have over 50k in AK ammo in a shed down south, though I keep roughly 10k+/- here at my primary home. I did buy a lot of x54R in 2020 and 21, but it's a mix of Russian/Bulgarian/Serbian and sourced anywhere from the EE to yes, SG. |

His inventory count on the website is done by the pallet, it counts down until the pallet is empty. Then it's either OOS or he opens up another pallet. |

Quoted: So he's gonna price gouge? View Quote No such thing. Price is determined by what the market will bear. No one is getting gouged. Purchasing an item or service is a transaction between two parties who voluntarily enter into the deal. If the price is too high don't buy. Problem solved. |
