I have not and will not ever spend another cent with them. s&g ammo for ammo, 3-4 dealers for online stuff and bps outfitters in sherman for my go to store.

Prices are nutz today compared to a few years ago. I was buying .223/5.56 at around 15 to 16 cents a round if not cheaper. But, apparently from what I've read Lake City has cut back on production for the civilian market. No idea if they were forced to, or it was strongly suggested, or they chose to.

No idea if they were forced to, or it was strongly suggested, or they chose to. pedo and crew are trying to make lake city strictly military, not sure if they have yet or not, look at IMI (israel military industries) from s&g, I like it at least as much as lake city. same setup but in israel, they make military and run a lot extra for civilian market.

Back in the day, at Customs we were issued IMI 5.56. I don't remember any problems with it. I probably still have some.
