What AMMO did you SCORE TODAY???

I was in Rural King today when the guy rolled past me with a pallet of ammunition. By the time he got to the gun section their were me and 3 more guys following him. Bought 4 boxes of 9mm fmj for $14.99 a box. I am well stocked on 9mm, but this lets me go shooting tomorrow without touching what is in the safe.

 

Lucky you being there, just at the right time.

 

Picked up 100 rds of 556 for $50 at the LGS, but 9mm going for $50-60 per box of 50.

 

Pretty sad isn't it?

 

I got 25rds of .357 JHP Magnum. Local loader, (not reloader) Starline brass. $30.

 

Yeah, it is.

 

I need to get my SIL some 30-06 ammo, what's the prices been lately???

I bought him some 7.62x39 for his AK, the sucka went and traded it in the day after I bought it as one of his Christmas gifts. Good thing for me...I can use it in my CZ 527, I was low anyway

 

Well, it was actually yesterday, but I was able to snag onto two 100 count boxes of WWB, in .380 Auto. Didn't take it too hard in the ying yang either...two hundred rounds for 100 bucks. Not too shabby by todays standards.

 

Traded his ONLY AK, your SIL is a crazy man!!!

Last I saw Cabela's had some in stock for about $2.00 a round

 

Well... now gun owners are getting a taste of what communism is really like. Resources are limited and hard to get. Its happening with food as well. Russians know all about this kind of citizen rationing. I wouldnt expect it to change once Trump is out.

As far as ammo goes.... there isnt much. Might be good to stock up on fire extinguishers. Once resources go down..... services are soon to follow. Some places this is already happening.

 

well it pertains dirrectly to ammunition supply so I dont quite understand where you are coming from but hey.... thats on you. Thanks for the response though. I appreciate it.

 

He said it was shaving brass off the casings when he shot it, I never got a chance to see exactly what it was doing. He used the money to get a Savage Axis 30-06 from the latest round of Walmart closeouts. Now he's got to hunt for ammo!

 

Sounds like a major case of misinformed ownership criteria. Hopefully he has something else in semi-auto for home defense.

 

There is your problem - steel cased or bust!!!

But if it cycled fine and hit the target its fine... its an AK...

Eh, too late now though so moot point, its traded.

 

I tried to tell him that these European guns are made to eat steel but he won't listen. Now I have to run 200rnds of brass thru my CZ527 while the steel stuff stays in the cabinet.

Trashy, he's got an AR so he's good. I try to keep track of what he has so I can get him stuff for Christmas and Bday but damn he's making it difficult. Sounds like I need to let my daughter know so she can pull rank some more. She's got him on a short chain but she knows not much about firearms. He's bought/sold 4-5 rifles from these Walmart deals, fortunately he's going thru FFLs to do so. I gifted him my HK45 Compact with the stipulation he DOES NOT PART WITH IT. If he doesn't want it he gifts it back to me.

 

Not really interested in your attempts to bait me into an argument with projections of your own and thread drift into other aspects of.... whatever is on your mind. Feel free to ask me about my thoughts on ammo availabilty/purchases or things relevent to the topic of the discussion. I will most likely respond if you can refrain from hostility and threats. You know..... like be nice....even if you dont agree. So far the only problem I have had on this forum since comming back has been with you in the last few posts so if there is something else going on you are probaly thinking of another person.

Anyways... take care. I will not respond again to this kind of .....IMO.... nonsense.

Back on topic... Was out today and checked some local shops where it was convenient. No ammo other that shotgun hunting loads. Not even higher end hunting rifle ammo. First time I have seen it this bad. I didnt ask if there was anything in back. If I was a store owner I would probably hold back ammo to include it with gun sales right now.

As far as a score I did pick up a few boxes of steel 12ga steel #3 shot for some versatility on the riot gun. Be nice If I could get some more slugs but you just have to get by with what you can.
