Stash it away until the next shortage... anything for a profit, right?

The Mexican Government is so corrupt and impotent, there will be no consequences to the cartel.......

Do you think any gang in the U.S. doing something like this would get away with it?

Once upon a time, I would have said no.

Watch for the destination of a shit load of CMMC 22LR conversion kits going into Mexico...

Around 3 years ago or so.........one of the local Mayors was negotiating to bring a .22LR ammunition plant here to Rockport/Fulton.......locals got wind of it and and stomped the idea rather quickly......

It was too dangerous (think of the children)....we don't want industrial operations in our tourist town, environmental concerns (think of the Whooping Cranes)ect, ect, ect.........

And FORGET about the taxes and jobs created.

7 million rounds of ammunition! That's a lot of stolen ammo.

I wonder if the 6 million rounds of 22lr was specifically targeted, or whether they just targeted the trucks because they were hauling ammo?

If the cartels wanted in maximize their profits, they could gouge greedy Americans by selling all of this through Cheaper Than Dirt

ammoshoponline has 1 3/4'' slugs and 6 pellet buckshot. Techrim from Russia $10.50 per
15 rounds

What all weapons will shoot these reliably? Semi beretta 1200fp or like 870pm that would be a good load out

In for reports of Lumber trucks getting hijacked next.

At least the COVID hysteria has died off enough that we probably won't see truckloads of toilet paper hijacked.

My googlefoo must be broke.
I can’t find anything on the web about this story.
Maybe I should have learnt more.

The only as is shotgun that feeds the 1 3/4” shells best I can tell is the Winchester 1300 defender.
With the Opsol adapter( literally a 3 second conversion) the Mossberg 500 platforms feed them flawlessly. My Shockwave has digested hundreds of them from Aguila and Federal.
