I do not need it, but if someone is looking for any I will grab some next time I see it and let them have it for the price on the receipt.


Going on that lead. Fridays are Culvers night. My wife and daughter were out running errands and instead of our regular Culvers, they had me meet them at the Chanhassen one. I was early. It was payday. So, I drove the extra distance to the Carver FF. They too had Q3131 for 9.99/box.

As I said earlier, I reload all my ammo. Not wishing to get kicked off the forum, I will continue this in the appropriate Market section. Cmezz331, you better move fast.

I love this idea! I have been checking the FF in St cloud for weeks after with looking for ammo for my new AR. Bought it a month ago and still can't shoot it much less sight her in.

It will only work if we all cooperate and don't post where the ammo stashs are located unless it is through PM's with trusted forum members.

If we post the actual store then the tip is mute because the scallpers will find them first.

The buy for forum members at cost or just a token more will work so long as no one starts asking to much of a token price.

The CCI LPP cost me $38.95 with a two box limit, I am still putting together my metalic reloading bench so I didn't need 2K of them.

Also we need to egnore the trolls who undoubtably will start posting BS in this thread like they do in the FF thread just to see who they can make upset over it.

now this is a very logical idea. In fact, maybe we should start an ammo bank of sorts when things return to normal.
I have participated in a couple bulk buys over the years, I mean 10k at a time each. long shot now but we got the ammo for about 80% of walmart or ff at at the time.

Was in Sportsman Guide today - they have 45 fmj in brass for about $19-$20 a box of 50. Had quite a bit at 4pm.

Google "Sportsman Guide Coupon" and you can find a $10 off coupon.

If you've got surplus, let it out so others can shoot. If you find some hard to locate goods, take them home and let folks having trouble get them. It's not all about the money. We need to support our sport, or we're all going to suffer from our own greed.



Hoot, I too have done this as much as possible for the last few months. It is a great thing and I am not rich but money is not everything. It's good to see someone happy that they can go shooting on their day off.

I have a friend there and they say there is a long line when the employee store gets any ammo and it's heavily rationed. On top of that the ammo in their store is the factory seconds, the stuff they don't ship to the Customers.

If anyone is near the BP FF and can pick up two 250 rd Bulk packs of Magtech 9mm I could use them. I'll throw in an extra $15 for your gas
