I'm already in hot water over another thread about 223 prices! If you buy a new AR make sure you check the warrantee on shooting steel cased ammo!The components for 223 are getting thin as ammo(bullet and brass).Alot of the sites have 55 grain ammo on backorder,and doesn't look good in getting much in!I heard a rumor that the Lake City stuff is pretty much all headed to the middle east for the rest of the year!Tough to handle the idea of 400 buck surplus,but if you want good NATO ammo that where your headed.I got very lucky and pickedup 1000 rounds Mil.Surp. for a neighbor for $5.50 a box...I owe him a cold one now!Just be careful with the Wolf stuff,I've heard good and bad reviews on it.I will just restrict my shooting the ARtill things improve with supply.
