ADI F1 Ball Surplus

[Download]

This really bugs me.

Somehow, some company can buy surplus ADF ammo, ship it to the US, pay import taxes and the like, and then sell the ammo for 40c a round (Well, that was in 2012, with the price increases it's now 55c a round). Why can't we get this stuff? Why isn't it sold to Australians first? Instead we're stuck paying 60c a round for steel cased Wolf/Tula s**t or $1.20 a round for brass ammo. It's just ridiculous.

On that note, does anyone have any idea which company it is that exports the stuff? Maybe we can buy a few pallets of it. Surplus certainly hasn't dried up so to speak, it just leaves our shores before we can touch it.

I was lead to believe that ADI have told the ADF to not sell surplus ammo here cheap pricing would damage our ripe market.

Wouldn't that violate anti-trust laws?

Don't know, I just found some comments along these lines when I was trying to see if we could get surplus ammo here like in the states.

Anti trust laws are in place to ensure fair competition.

ADI and the ADF are about the only game in town though, right?

With no competitors to fix prices with or do anything like that I suppose they can do wtf ever they want as they're the only ones?

There are other brands.

Hodgdon powder, Vihtavuori etc.

No idea who is importing them though?

Gov probably doesn't care even if it was.

If prices are keeping shooting out of reach of citizens all the better in their view.

Too small beans for them to worry about now I'd think.

It's stuff like Oil companies they focus on. Apple, Microsoft etc.
