Does anyone know of any local stores/vendors that sold 300 Blackout before all the ammo hype/disruption happened?

300 AAC Blackout availability?
- Thread starter Buryingthesun
- Start date
300AAC was hard to find even online (never mind cheaper than 70-80 cents/round) long before Sandy Hook.
it's has been a niche round for some years and it'll be few more until it becomes a mainstay.
if you were silly enough to buy 300aac rifle then it's perfect time to start making your own ammo from 223 cases, otherwise good luck funding it and then raped.

I don't own a 300 AAC, debated building one. Research resulted with "don't be a retard"

If you want to pay a bunch of money and run it suppressed, go for it (note: that wasn't sarcasm) but if your location of Douglas MA is accurate, you're not running a can
Not aware of MA stores that stocked the ammunition. Before the panic it was under $11 a box online by places that don't ship to MA.
It does not need to be suppressed anymore than 7.62x39mm or 30-30. It is simply a way to shoot 30 caliber from an AR-15 platform.
I am actually the project lead for it at AAC, and am in MA, so I understand.
It is a good alternative caliber for MA because it uses pre-ban 30 round magazines at full capacity.

Not to be wise? But can't you run all Pre-Ban magazines to full capacity?
it's strange beast if you ask me but cool non the less
i know what to do with your glut of lowers - sell them to me.
Originally, long before all the current events, I looked into 300 upper and determined I didn't want to do it just because of the availability of ammo issues. Now, it would rule it out before I even started. If that answers your questions.

Don't forget the same bolt as well.
same here. about a year ago i seriously thought of building one. but not to repeat a mistake of my 7.62x25 AR i really researched availability and cost of ammo. it was very-very prohibitive. unless you have a rubber ammo budget to buy expensive ammo in several thousands at the time whenever it shows up some place OR if taxpayers pay for your ammo then i'd say just keep on walking.
