Does anyone ship ammo up here?

[SavageStag]

I'm on Eielson, and can't find anyone that will ship up this way. Do they ship to Anchorage?

Cabela's ships. I get me ammo when they offer the free shipping and stock up for the year. Also it cheaper and it arrives within 5 days.

How did you get Cabellas to ship live ammo? My buddy just went through this with them. UPS nor FedEx will not ship live ammo to Alaska.

J&Gsales in presscott AZ will.
I have them rout it through NAC-LINC in Seattle, as a consolidator for all cargo only flights to Alaska....then on to where ever I am Via NAC.
No problem, bulk prices, give 'em a call. They will ship to AK and they know how, and I think they are the easiest way to go.

CMP uses FEDEX to ship ammo to Alaska exclusively.
I have places and received several CMP ammo orders.
The key is that the shipper has to complete the red line form designating the shipment as ORM-D for Cartridges, small arm. Won't work for powder or primers.

I just got a shipment from Double Tap a few weeks ago here in Wasilla.

Pretty sure is was UPS.

Thanks for the help guys, so far none of these places except Cabelas stocks any 308 168gr. SMK ammo, either Remington or Federal. I couldn't even get Cabelas to ship me a reloading kit (with no powder or anything) much less ammo. Any more ideas?

I placed an order with the CMP back in early January. Still waiting.........they say they are backed up 100 days due to the great OBAMA panic.

Check the PX/BX

Savage Stag: -- Hello. My son left your base this AM with wife and 2 of my grandsons. He has been there 3 years, and is on his way to Dyess AFB in Texas. He told me that the PX has ammo at Eielson and also the PX over at Ft. Wainwright. If they don't have the "flavor" you want then write it down on paper and submit it to the PX manager. AAFES usually will try and stock items that the customers want.

As to your question/statement about Cabella's not sending you a Reloading kit because you are in Alaska. Wrongo! I ordered the Lee Breech Lock Challenger Kit, a set of .38 Spl. Dies and the book titled "Modern Reloading" by Richard Lee. Placed the order online mid-November, and it came here to the P.O. on Nov. 21st. No Problem.

They did refuse to send his kit due to a can of spray lube, you were lucky, but he was not!

Love G&J sales! I am from Prescott and they are one of the few things I miss about Arizona.

Boondocks in Eagle river might have Remington
Great Northern Guns might be able to get Federal w/175 SMK

[Wildalaska]

if you need 168SMK 308 just pm, we have a bunch. Today, I spent 3 hours of my day arranging ammo shipments for the Sportsman Show, I'm burnt out, but at least I am getting some 308 with 185 Berger VLDs to try for myself!!!!

Ok, the UPS cost to Seattle is only $12.90 for 22 pounds. Give us an idea what NAC would charge to Anch, and does that include delivery or do we pick up at the airport?

Here's a twist to the ammo shipping question. I'm coming back to AK...finally!

I'll be stopping at my folks to P/U my stored stuff. Some of this is my ammo. I read on the Canada customs site that I can carry up to 5000 rds of hunting/sport ammo. (no hand gun ammo I'm sure).

Has anyone transported ammo through Canada? If so, are there any papers to complete? Do the boarder boys give much trouble over this?

I've got about 2000 rds and hate to leave it behind.
