Shop Both Rare and Discounted Ammunition

Not everyone is looking for standard ammo for sale. That's why we curated vintage and surplus ammo from law enforcement departments with cartridges in both modern calibers, like 9mm Luger and .357 Magnum, as well as calibers that haven't been produced for years. Here, you'll find ammo for your classic firearm and ammo boxes at fantastic prices.

We don't just sell vintage and police trade-in ammo, however. Looking for an old-style firearm? Shop our lever-action rifles. Interested in guns traded in by law enforcement? Explore our police trade-in Glocks. Whether you prefer sticking with what's modern or revisiting the past, find ammo and guns for sale at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.

So, whether you're looking for bolt-action precision rifles or handguns for sale, you'll find them here at incredible prices.

To ensure you never have to worry about backorders, all of the guns we have listed on our site are in stock and ready to ship nationwide. And if you bought one of our used guns, you get a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy. Plus, you can reach out to our in-house customer service if you ever have questions or run into problems with your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is police trade-in ammo?

When a law enforcement department wants better pricing for new equipment or has bought more ammunition than they can use, they will offer it as surplus to gun dealers and individuals. They can recoup some of the money that was originally spent on it, as well as make room for new ammo.

Is it illegal to buy police surplus ammo?

The vast majority of law enforcement surplus ammo is perfectly fine to buy, own, and use. There's only one exception: armor-piercing handgun ammo. Armor-piercing rounds that can be used in handguns are federally illegal for civilians to buy, manufacture, and use. There may also be state- and county-level regulations prohibiting certain kinds of ammunition, so check your local laws before ordering ammo!

Can you shop police trade-in ammo to my home?

In most states, you can have ammo sent directly to your house. That's different than when you buy guns online, which need to be sent to your local FFL dealer in an FFL transfer before you can pick them up. State and county laws may vary, so check your local laws regarding shipping ammunition before placing your order.
