Stop Buying Ammo at fucking retarded prices.

[Outonowhere]

And while we bitch about it, they have every right to do it.  Still if they are charging outrageously for it, makes you wanna throat punch someone...

Here something that made my day, I decided to go look at the gun department at my local Wally World after school, long story short I bought 2 3/4 Winchester 1oz slugs for $4.95 including tax and they had up to 10 boxes, I do believe that stock is coming back and people are calming down. Just a little something that made me happy

Part of the problem with the second article about departments running low is the officers.  I know for a FACT that local LEO's will be issued x number of rounds to practice with.  What ends up happening though is that they shoot up a quarter of what they are given and squirrel away the rest for "that day".

And yea, 12 gauge seems to be the most easily found "common" caliber, so stocking that up as well.

The best I have been able to find in 223/5.56 is a Federal can of 420 rnds of 62gr green tip for $200-. I texted my friend and he asked me to pick it up...Which I did. It's pretty sad to pay 48? a round  [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

Doesn't it make you sick to your stomach?  I haven't shot my AR in over a month because of this..

Four words....22 Conversion bolt & mag!

Kind of wordy so jump to 3:32.

The CMMG 22 Evolution Review - Stainless Steel Conversion Bolt 5.56 to .22LR

The company...

http://www.cmmginc.com/category_s/1823.htm

There are conversion kits using .22LR for 1911 and other handguns too.  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

[Ronin]

.22 LR is the main reason i started this thread.. if you know where to get it at a decent price PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  I've found subsonic online for around 8 cents a round.. but still.. People trying to sell that shit 35+ cents a round.. omfg..

I cleaned out the Socorro, NM Sprawl-Mart today, 3 boxes of 12g slugs same ammo and price as Alex got.

On a plus note Socorro's Gamble Ace Hardware has about 25 boxes of 40S&W for $32 a box.. they can keep it for that price but if you are hurting send me a PM.

I went to the Wannamacher's gun show in Tulsa this weekend.

Boxes of 5.7mm were $80-$120 per 50
Boxes of early 60's 7.62 NATO was $30 per 20
550rd packs of federal .22lr were $90
Steel case .223 was $10-$15 per 20
Brass .223 and 5.56 was running about $1 per round

AK's (WASR's mostly) started at $900
AR's started at $1,200

ALL modern handguns were over $400 (EAA's, Hi-Points, Sigma's, etc)

[JohnyMac]

.22LR at 16? a round is ridiculous!

I growled when my brother bought and bought and bought so many boxes of .22LR bulk that I finally told him to STOP...ENOUGH!! Well maybe I was wrong. He double vacuum sealed each 500+ box and we use it rather than .223/5.56 in the AR's and 1911 hand guns we "may" own or not.

Yesterday, I was looking through my in between front seats glove compartment and I found a box of 550 Federal 36 gr 22LR. I don't remember if my brother or I bought them and when  [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

You were in town and didn't even stop to say hello?  Dick... lol

ANYWAYS, stopped by China mart yesterday to do some milling around at just the right time.  The guy was putting up the days stocks of ammo right as we got there.  There were 4 boxes of brass 5.56 and about 3-4 dozen of .223, some .45 and several boxes of shotgun shells.  We walked out with as much as we could and it was probably the biggest haul we have had in a while.

We were also told that the one caliber that disappears quicker than a free anything at an Occupy rally is .22.  The worker said that he had a bunch of it that came in the other day and it didn't last 30 minutes.

sorry man, didn't know you were in tulsa, they have them pretty often, i'll be at the next one too  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

I saw the damnedest thing in Albuquerque yesterday...

We went up to Sportsman's Warehouse to look at their lovely shelves, they really are lovely yellow pine with a heavy lacquer. I got half way down a set of shelves that held at least a full ton of bullets primers and powder back in 2010 when I saw a sign that said ".224 bullets behind counter, ask at desk."


Barnes BX(?) and a whole pile of other shit that is too light for my barrel but they had it, a whole shopping cart of bullets.

I walked out with a couple of boxes of 00 and 1.5oz slugs... they still have plenty of those...

[Kentactic]

Just got done trimming a few pounds of #00 pellets. Ive got a ton of components its just that pesky loading it step... Im loadin #00 2.75" for 30 cents a round and thats with brand new high end federal high brass hulls and federal primers. Ive located lead at a good price.   [img]http://www.smileydesign.n

My point being.. Load your own if you wanna smokem out.

[WhiteWolfReloaded]

So, not that I want to keep beating this very dead horse, but..............my buddy went by our local gun shop this week to see if he could find any .223 or .22lr. Amazingly he found some. Here's the kicker. A 550 round box of .22lr  $120 
 A 500 round box of Remington UMC .223 $1,000 


I'm rich bitches!!! Would it be horrible of me to make a YT video of me filling my bath tub with ammo and rolling around in it?

[thatGuy]

WW, do it, do it now!

Ken... what happened to 'I don't reload?' Just busting your balls, it does make sense to do so if you have the time.

I'm trying to remember.  I think it was Reaver who predicted that the day would come when lead would be more valuable than gold.  Enjoy your new found wealth WW.  : )
