10Glocks & Dean Anderson: I was doing a gunshow here in SW Montana a couple weeks ago and on my "list" of stuff to buy for my partners has been 209 primers for many months now.
Anyway as I was setting up the table the neighbor table guy comes in with ten 1,000 primer cartons of Winchester 209's - I inquired and bought 2,000 of them for $60.00 per 1,000.
My table partner bought the other 8,000 (eight cartons) and promptly began selling them for $85.00 per 1,000!
He finished selling them all off this past weekend at the Post Falls, Idaho show for $90.00 per 1,000!
If you need them and can find them for $65.00 plus $25.00 shipping or $90.00 per 1,000 then I suggest you do so because they are NOT "easy to find" in my big neck'o the woods.
By the way I sold those primers to my friend for what I paid for them - $60.00 per 1,000 and he was THRILLED to get them! He KNOWS he owes me one.
I do NOT know if this component "shortage" will ever be over/end?
Hold into the wind
