CALGUNS AMMO CO-OP
[B]This thread is dead at this time I have been unable to secure any quantity pricing anywhere near pre-pannic pricing.
Sorry for all the hoopla and speculation. Last edited by Baja Jones; 01-30-2014 at 7:30 AM.. |

Baja, give us an indication of the numbers you've come up with. I realize it's based on what DHS has ordered, and is in no way to be construed as what we would pay. But, it would be nice to get some notion. That notion can help folks put a vague $ sign on the idea; that could help recruiting or culling. Might also have folks take more than one "position".

Count me in for distribution and clearly some purchases of handgun calibers, but alas...no brick/mortar location except the garage of my home. Don't forget Ventura County area!! I could help distribution from West San Fernando Valley to Santa Barbara.

Survey wasn't letting me choose anything, but I am about 2 hours north of Sacramento in Magalia, CA and would be willing to help out anyway I can; put me down for 2000 rounds of .40 cal for the first go around.

Great initial response. When we are talking about this volume we are talking non residential receiving dock or pallet jack lift gate delivery. Either way we will need a secure location where members can pick up on say one Saturday per month. My neighbor is retired LEO and did this for the SDPD from his house and the DOJ showed up at his door. We will need to make sure this is within the local code and the guidelines of the law.

Why not do pickup from the shipping company's hub? Like lets say that 5 guys are doing distribution for the South Bay. They get their allotted ammo loaded into their trucks, and drive to set pickup points. Parking lots, gun shops, ranges, central locations where people can meet and get their allotment while the distributors mark everyone off, check ID's, and make sure the correct amounts get to their set locations. Buyers will have a schedule of pick up times to meet distributors, and in the meantime, distributors will be responsible for securing the ammo

Volunteering from OC....I would love to be involved.
Some computer/database design/web design experience, and some purchasing/distributing power, and logistical willingness like many of the others. |

The problem is cash. You would need millions in cash for a manufacture to even consider. Also that is cash up front. They will not give you credit. Even if you could get the cash flow i doubt they would undercut their normal distribution hubs to sell it to you for less money. Plus the cost of storage, labor and accounting would be to much. Ammo has about a 15-20 percent mark up. A better route is large group buys through sg ammo or aim. They can order large quantity and be a middle man cheaper than you can do it yourself.

I am thinking 9 X 19, 40 cal, 45 ACP, 556/223 & 308. I live in a bubble. Is there anything else that would break 250,000 rounds in the CALGUNs community. I have talked to SG and some others and they do not have the buying power to do what I am suggesting. I have no idea if a manufacturer or distributor would sell 10,000,000 rounds to us at a competitive price but if you look at the expense in distribution, sales, transportation and accounting they would save, my guess is yes. So if we do this like members in an LLC or shares in a corporation before we make our first purchase we would have $3,300,000 in the bank at .33 per round. That may be all the clout we need. Just thinking Ohh No we're doomed. It'll never work! BTW my plan is everyone that works at this gets paid for their efforts. I have not worked out all the details but this should be no commie endeavor. Stuart |

Interesting. Anyone know what type of permits/insurance is needed for storage and distribution?

Make sure to name drop co op and non profit. Might be different rules if it is not considered commercial.
Oh yeah, if there is a list I'm interested. 556/223 and 22lr user. Thanks |

The Sherriff's department where my son works has cancelled all handgun and rifle practice since they can't get 40 or 223 for their 340 officers. Our club which runs a public range is out of most major calibers which used to be sold to the public every day, and the next order is not coming in until July. Seems like there ought to be a real opportunity to get others to join us.
