Ammo famine coming like the old days?

Hi Canada ammo was wondering since it appears that your norinco ammo pile is getting depleted are you going to be in the same position you were a few eons ago. When we all wondered why you where called Canada Ammo yet you had very little in stock. Please don't take this as a negative post, I was just wondering where we're going to be ammo wise in the future. And since you are my vendor of choice I thought I would ask.
 
also a little curious , I have a huge order after Christmas , 2 cases of 7.62x39 , 2 cases o 7.62x54 , 1 cases 7.5x55 Swedish , 1 case of 7.62x25 , some 38 spl , 357mag and some 44 rem mag and 44 spl , hardest part about that is I need to find a dealer that has all of the above in stock so the order arrives at once
 
Kind of off topic.... Did something change with Canada Post? Cause I just got my 223 order in the mail. Everything was discreetly wrapped and I didnt mention it to them when they asked what could weigh so much but I was under the impression you couldn't send ammunition by the regular post. Now that said, I got it fast and it shoots great so Im not complaining :)
 
yea i was under the same impression, curious if things have changed. As for the weight questions I usually just say speaker magnets lol.
 
Now why would you post that (post 4&5)on a public forum if you thought there may be an issue????? Not the smartest thing ive seen lately!
 
I work for CP in the parcel area. No we do not ship ammo. If it doesn't have fragile written on the box, expect that the box may see a few tosses in its life. Knowing that these packages are going through il be sure to set any heavy ones down lightly. I really don't need to get shot while at work....

I hope this is a joke ... did you ever see this SAAMI testing? I'm certainly not worried.

Now that is an order,,good on ya mate!
I think that if enough people want norinco non cor 7.62x39 or other the chinese will make them,, that's what they do! However,, at what price? The stuff we are getting now was made 20,30 40 years ago labor was not even a factor and it is surplus, but if they have to make it now for retail , that will be a completely different story!
I hope there is still some to come in non corrosive!
 
It was a joke yes. But if it was marked at least we would know what were handling. If one of those packages ever broke in my work area people would be freaking out. I know better but i guarantee my co-workers would be going nuts.
 
I heard the same rumor. With the massive order of .45 and .223 by the US government, supplies will be scarce in 2013. I also heard there are new restrictions coming regarding the export of US made ammunition... meaning less will be imported into Canada. This was all hearsay, so take it with a grain of salt... could have just been the guy at the counter trying to get me to buy more rounds...
 
I missed out on the Norinco 7.62 x 51 and now on the 7.62 x 39.... I never seem to have the cash when I need it. I hope the 223 is still around in the new year.
 
This is why I buy ammo by the 5000 rounds at one time and not 1000 rounds at a time. I've been through the 9mm and .223 rem ammo shortages before and spent a entire summer shooting very little.

No if only I could find a retailer who would give me bulk pricing on 5000+ round purchases. That would be awesome.
