You guys didn't stock up years ago???

The day after Obama was elected I was pushing a cart full of ammunition though the local Cabelas. Employees were looking at me like I was nuts. Two years later they got an education.

Currently at 35,000 to 40,000 rounds on hand. I'm not buying more until the current panic subsides.

Buying 1 more of each box 1st thing in the morning.




I notice your receipts are about a half hour apart. Is there a 1-box limit?

2 box limit

Went to another place they had tula and barnual 1 box limit
Came back..
Hoping to talk my way into 2 boxes of the Geco

Different clerks
Got away with another 2.

Played the "game"I geuss some could say.
But not like I have seen others and employees do.

Does it make it right.
No....
But it aint going to a lgs or ammo scalper or gunshow for resale either.

I oughta bring the wife and daughter in the morning.
That aint happening even though others would do it .



Hitting it in the morning.
Nother box of each.
Look for some Fiocchi and others brands for eval when I get the Jericho off layaway.
Hopefully by late oct I have like 100 150 rds of a buncha brands for a total of around at least 1 k.
Fire a box of each.
Use the the rest as trade bait to aquire for one of the 2 most accurate and reilable.
Then buy more of that up to around the 2k stash level.

Thats kinda the " plan".

400 9mm right now
And 3400 7.62x39 right now.

Like ta hit 5k 7.62x39

Wish I had dropped the hammer when 7.62x39 was 179.99 prior 2nd week of march.
Fugg fugg fuggg...

Just gotta look and hunt places that aint azz rapeing people on prices.

Academy and RK around here now that wally world is out of the game.

Put 55 more on my pistol yesterday.
Talking with the owner about ammo.
He actually had ALOT of 9mm
federal range ammo
Like 2 k on the shelf
At 16.99 a box..........

Said he was getting a huge order in of win white box
In patnership with midsouth shooter supply.
But it is on a day by day
Is it shipped, is it gonna ship type of hold.
Said it was part of a region shipment of 30 mil rounds...
Him and midsouth splitting the cost on 1 mil

Got to talking about walmart being out of the game.
Said he heard walmart is selling the pistol and msr ammo everyone
Thought they clearanced sold for good
When the rumour says they consolidated back at distribution centers nation wide ( one 20 miles away off I24 by hopkinsville ky)
and are selling to distributors well above the mass wholesale price they got it for.

I kinda can believe it actually.
Fughing hypocrites for Benjamin's......

Be kinda a slap in walmarts face if it could be proven and put in the news.......

I just pulled the trigger on another 1000 rounds of Golden Tiger, for $279.00, plus shipping. SG Ammo.

I still have some of the pre-panic Tula, it was 20 cents a pop or so when I bought it.

Prices are up for sure, but in the overall scheme of things, 30 cent ammo beats the heck out of NO ammo.

Fugging wear a mask sign schitt.....

He likes my mauser, showed it too him long ago after the project was done.
Knows the Cz75 platform well aka Jericho 941.
Told me the Cz75 was a John Browning based design from the browning Hi power.

I never knew that.......

84 yrs old.
Retired
Healthy.
DOD MACOM WPN System and feilding type.
Korean war vet.
Only gunsmith around here I would let do anything for me.

Told him I was wearing a mask cause Im a clarksvegasite and might be one of those Asymptomatic types and dont wanna C19 him.

He got a good chuckle outta it.
