.223 availability & price?

[BlackWatch]

I am about to buy an AR-15, but I am concerned about the availability and price of ammo. I don't want to pay $1/ round. Any suggestions as to where to buy cheap .223 ammo?

Cheapest you'll get is $400 per 1000.

The usual suspects should have .223 Rem for 37-40 cents per round.

That sounds pretty good. Where is a good place to get it for this price? Or can we say that on here?

Check all the dealers above on a regular basis. When they get some in buy it by the case.

Thanks, that helps a lot. It was a toss up between the CX4 Storm and the AR-15 but I think the AR is what I want now.

You had BETTER choose the AR! Every able bodied Canadian should get some experience with our military's battle rifle in some form or another.

The AR is a rifle, the Storm is a really long handgun.

The AR is a rifle, the Storm is a really big piece of crap.

There....fixed it for you.

Where?

Marstar. I just bought 400 rds from them for $125.00. I fired a bunch of it on Sunday. It shoots very well through my 1:12 barreled SP1. I'll be buying a 1200 round case when I have the extra bux.

Cheers!

is any of the stuff they sell by the case corrosive (ie military ammo)?


I'm looking at getting an AR180b and from what I understand they don't have a chrome lined barrel...

 

[McNasty]

I paid about $0.33 a round from marstar, but I bought 12000 rounds.

Do they make .223 corrosive?? This is winchester ammo... not some far away former commie ammo, but I think Marstar has that too. But it won't work in your AR.

 

[CanAm]

There is no corrosive 223.

Well I thought the whole reason behind corrosive primers is a long shelf life (ie military stockpiles) and thus I assumed that ammo sold in 1200 round cases would be military stuff...

Then again not all military ammo is corrosive and I wasn't sure so that's why I asked...

 

[JaysonCraig]

i think a 1200 round case of ammo is just going to be 60 regular boxes of 20. no??

I hear there's a way to get that experience and you don't even have to buy your own rifle.

I wish I had done that when I was young. I don't think they're recruiting fat fifty-year olds.
