AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line. MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags. Do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon.

RELOADERS: ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra's for reloading purposes. It could be 6-9 months b/f things get caught up.

MAGAZINES: MEC-GAR (the main manufacturer used by Beretta, Sig, Ruger, etc) was 3 months behind at the beginning of December 2012 running 2 shifts. They have added a shift, so are know running 3 shifts and have not given a date they expect to be caught up with the demand. All magazine produced are to be sold with firearms first, any extra magazines when then be sold at the manufacturer's discretion.
