5.7x28ammo for FN five-seven

[Cole46845]

Well I was lucky enough to snag a 5-7 off grab a gun today, only problem is ammo is $1rd! This is crazy. What's the deal with ammo for this insane gun! I was really hoping to shoot it but damn. Anyone see any on shelf in Fort Wayne area. Thanks

For what it's worth, I have sent several emails as well as attempted to contact them in other ways about the lack of 5.7x28 and they refuse to answer. I would really love to know the truth about "where's the ammo" before I pass into that land where firearms are truly not needed.

Freedom usually has some every week or so...limited quantity... I would start there...

 

[Cole46845]

Yea the two sites I found it was 1$ without shipping. It's insane. I will def check out freedom. Thanks

The problem with the 5.7 is 2 fold. 1st is the obvious "panic" that has effected everything ans 2nd unless I am mistaken I believe FN has the sole manufacturing/distributing rights for that caliber.

Good Luck looks like a neat option (why else would the Secret Service like it)

FN is not the sole producer...Federal American Eagle is running it. ZX had it over the weekend not sure of price. Here is a good source still high.

Bradis has a few hundred rounds for sale at 24.95 for a box of 50

I wouldn't pay $1 a round unless its SS198.

Sad. I had a chance to buy 198 for $40 per box of 50 when I first considered the pistol. Wish I had purchased a few more boxes back then. I waited until I could find American Eagle for $25 per box of 50, and the FN ammo for around $29. That is it's true value, the rest are inflated supply and demand prices. The more people pay $1 per round, the longer it will sell for that price. Those who are buying ammo up just to keep the supply low and make a profit from it will do so as long as there is profit to be made. I have the pistol, enough ammo to use it if I ever need to, but not enough to go through my supply of ammo with no resupply readily available. I will simply switch to shooting other calibers until this supply problem is worked out.

We are sold out as of this afternoon.

 

[nra4ever]

Wow at that price I would be glad to sell a case of ammo for $2000. Then just wait for it to come back or sell off the pistol and the 90. Sad it has come to this.

 

[MJ06IU]

I'm going to sell mine, making a commitment to other calibers. I actually really like it, however ammo prices are a Bit€#!

We still have some AE 5.7 available.

Honey Creek Bait and Tackle in Bargersville had a few boxes of 50 on the shelf last week. Don't remember the price, I was just glad to see it.

Coming in to check out your store tomorrow anyway! What's your price on it?

I'm looking for feedback before i list my FN 5-7 Is $1,500 for a 5-7 pistol, kydex holster, & 300rds of ammo too much? If so, I'm going to keep it cause that's what I have in it.

Woah, 5.7x28mm has existed on shelves within the past year?

Used to be my most shot caliber because it was always easy to come by... Since no one used it.

You'll regret letting go of it.

I haven't considered it with mine for that reason. It's just too unique of a gun, there's nothing out there that really is even similar.

Yeah, that's my fear....kind of why I posted on here, I knew that 5-7 fans would be more likely to convince me to stay. I'm typically not a very impulsive decision maker, even though you have to make impulsive decisions as an enthusiast to take advantage to the occasional good deal. Maybe i'll focus on my other projects and revisit this one at a later date.

Thanks!

I won't pay the prices most places online try to sell it for. But it does seem to be coming down. Before it was selling quickly at any price. Now it just sits unless its below $1/round.


Last weekend I was able to pick up 6 boxes of american eagle from cabelas at $23/box. Pretty reasonable price these days. I wouldnt pay much more than that.
