Is this all 223 or just the green tip stuff?
Edit:
So I'm just trying to understand this all... Its only green tipped steel pen stuff or does it affect the cheap American eagle and PMC stuff also?

Its starts with all 223, then all ar parts and ars, then heads to 9mm and finally 22lr.
When you figure out why let me know. This is why on facebook I see someone selling overpriced 22 or 223 or a handgun, I tell them where to stick it.

At this time the ban only includes M855/SS109 designated 62 grain 5.56x45 ammo that has a partial tungsten steel core. The run on that ammo has overflowed to all .223 and 5.56x45 "plinking ammo" as well as more expensive varieties that are normally up to and even some over 50 cents per round.
demand has waaaaayyyy surpassed supply, much like the .22lr situation started out.

To clarify, I think the reason they aren't selling it online is because of the huge sudden demand. People are grabbing up all they can out of fear. Some 5.56 could be added to the cart and hunting type bullets.

I still haven't seen an official NFOA response to the ATF or our congress critters. Did I miss it?
The Georgia Carry group has a GREAT open letter that can be found here:
