How much ammo is enough?
OK, show of hands, how many crates do you have stashed?
I'm up to 4, wife knows about 2.

Only have one I swear, just ask my big brother

Not even a full can here. Too busy buying rifles
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Don't know if 4 1/2 is enough but that is what I have. As an aside, wife knows how much ammo and how many rifles I have. She even meets the big brown truck or mailman if I'm not home.

Re: How much ammo is enough?
There is never enough ammo . I don't have as much as I would like for alot of stuff but I'm picking up a little here and there almost everytime I go to the store
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

Re: How much ammo is enough?
I feel like this might be the limiting factor in my enjoyment of the Mosin collection. If I had to pay for new ammo, I think I wouldn't enjoy them as much.
And the ammo obviously has a long shelf life, I could always sell it you guys some day!

When your basement floor concrete slab shows hairline cracks from the weight, that might be enough. But, then it's time for a heavily built climate controlled storage building.

I have more than I need, but less than I want

Re: How much ammo is enough?
It's nice to have enough ammo that with all the hoarding going on, price gouging, and just plain lack of product I can sit back and not worry about it.

Re: How much ammo is enough?
If you have to ask when you have enough you dont have enough.
That said i keep about 20,000 rounds total on hand with 3/4 of that being 7.62x54r / 7.62x39 / and 5.56mm, with the rest.being odd balls (303/8mm/7.7mm) and pistol ammo.

Re: How much ammo is enough?
With a tight budget, I tend to spend most of my money on rifles.. However anytime I see a good deal on Ammo I grab it. For example I got 100 rounds of silver tip for $30 shipped to my door last week... Currently I have about 900 rnd for my mosin and another 1000 of my .22. Not enough but it's what I have so far..
