It wouldn’t surprise me if the government is involved but I can’t go along with any conspiracy theories relative to manufacturers’ collusion.

The 5.56x45mm ammo shortages seem to be a topic of conversation among gun aficionados, as of late. At a small gun show in Ocala, FL on 02/25/12, I overheard severa; folks talking about the subject. I ran into a friend of mine who worked for the U.S. state dept for many years, and we spoke about these rumors. He mentioned that a friend of his was told of several ammunition distributors in the mid-atlantic states where a semi pulled up to the warehouse door and loaded whatever number of pallets of 5.56x45mm/.223 ammunition the business had on hand, supposedly paid for by “the Government”. I do not have any substantiation of these “rumors”. Could they be true, or manufactured by the industry to spur sales? I do not know. Anyone?
