How 'bout a AMMO group buy!

[Batman890]

Just wondering, is there any way we could put something like this together? I'm sure the order would be substantial!

[JiminTexas]

I'm sure that the order would be substantial, but it will only work if it is a group buy to ONE location, like the same city. The HazMat fees will kill you on the individual shipping fees.

[palmettomoon]

You have to pay HAZMAT on ammo? I've bought thousands of rounds of ammo online and via mail order and never paid a HAZMAT charge.

I think you are OK up to a package @ 60#. Each must be marked ORM-D SMALL ARMS AMMUNITION, but no HAZMAT charge is required for fixed ammunition.

[DYNOMIKE]

NO HAZMAT on ammo only powder and primer..

What do you guys have in mind, some German stuff from J&G Sales or Military Shooters? Maybe some ATI Turk direct from ATI? I may be in for a few cases depending on the deal.

Sorry about the false alarm there. I roll my own, so I don't buy ammo already made up. You might try Classic arms. They have a boatload of Radway Green and you might get a deal on a volume order.

I'd be down for a couple battle packs if we're going that route.
Pretty stocked up right now but always willing to get in on a good deal...

maybe us in the carolinas can get a pick up deal with them. There aren't far outside of charlotte

I just ordered 600 rounds of Pakistani 7.62x51 1990's surplus from Century today. Ended up being about $.27 per round to my door. We'll see how it shoots. They have a special going till the end of the month. $50 per can of 200 rounds. However, I believe that's the FFL price. The general public price is $20 more per can.

Whip up an order/load of several or more pallets and get it shipped by common carrier to a single distribution point. Cuts the ship cost to a couple or 4 bux a case
To get a real break on price, ya prolly gotta order close to 1/4 million rounds!!! ;)

Helluva deal :].....*if* ya can get it

[WWM]

I can make some calls tomorrow and see what kind of deal I can come up with. I'll try new and milsurp both. Shipping will be the biggest issue. I have an UPS account and can do actual shipping, but I'm in WV, not really centrally located.

[Dopavash]

I'd probably be in for a case or two.

[BadgerMan]

I'd be interested in a couple of battle packs or something equivalent.

[evan price]

I would seriously doubt that you'd get any sort of price break on buying ammo.

There's enough selling that it won't matter- especially surplus.

Another forum I got involved in wanted a GB for 223 and 308.

Of the companies that actually bothered to call us back, they were pretty much talking straight price unless we paid for over a million rounds up front.

Ammo isn't Haz-Mat, it's ORM-D ground ship.

You might get a 10% break on a full pallet to one destination. Then how much to break it down and ship it to individuals?

[WWM]

Not much luck so far guys, the best I've found so far is German MEN from Military Shooters for $370.00/1000 plus shipping. That price is only good if we can buy around 50 cases. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll get the ball rolling.

[adbm3]

37 cents a round isn't bad considering that DAG is about 43 cents a piece. Anything better and the price is double to quadruple.

[Batman890]

This is what I had in mind. Found this during a search here, it puts me in a tailspin every time I look at this pic. The OP stated it was a previous group buy that ended up costing about $130/case!!!

[fal fiend]

130 is what it should cost.

[brunop]

True, but those days are gone. Just like $189 Imbel receivers and $199 Steyr kits.

:cry:

[specs]

Count me in

[catmguy445]

If you can get this together, I'm in for at least a couple of cases. There's no such thing as too much ammo. I'm assuming that a case is 900-1000 rounds.

[1904]

im in if this is a go

[loco gunner]

let me know... im good for at least 1 or2 cases

[PBR Streetgang]

I've always thought we could open our own manufacturing company. We could sell shares to FAL Files members to build the business and then sell the ammo for a couple cents profit.
