The FFL i use in town called and asked me if i had ANY 380ACP at all.
I told her i had about 5 boxes , and she wanted to buy all of them .
She said she cant find any,anywhere , And she cant sell 4 guns she has without the Ammo to shoot in them.
Do you guys think that this may be some intentional thing by Obama ?
kitchawan, Im having a Hard time with 45/70 also.
I finally had to order some Universal and trim it down , But i have been expecting this with the Large BP Cartridges.
Even my 38/55 is getting impossible to keep running.
My Brother in law is in LE ,and is fairly high up in the Texas DPS.
He has been telling me every sense 2002 that the Feds ,are testing BP weapons ,and watching the BP Market very closely.
In 2005 He had to go to the FBI Training Grounds in VA. there on one course they covered the 45/70 up against trauma plates in modern Body Armor.
The 300gr JHP ,in a Modern Smokeless Load was Devastating , It totally fragmented the plates and transfered the energy into the chest cavity of the Test Dummy causing its heart to rupture ,according to the Computer.
They also tested a BP ,Howitzer , They used everything in it ,but the Chain shot was the one they were very interested in.
It looks like they are concerned that a Civilian Force could very well be capable of Defending themselves.
Like the Army War Collage said , They didnt think with the Personnel and equipment they have left here now, that they could contain a Civilian Army if it were organized.
And they made the point this is not Iraq , Americans are a different breed entirely.
