Then buy it all up now while its cheap and sell during the next scare for 3x what you paid for it. Or when the Milagros dries up sell for a gain. At $180/1000 rounds I am considering picking one up. Not for the ammo hoarding for later resale either, more because 5.56 is $600/k for brass cases Fed XM193 Milsurp.
