That works out to about $35 a brick - was this CCI Mini Mags, Blazer, etc..?

[Phippy]

Not sure, I'll go check. Need to go anyways.

This week, it's CCI mini mags 1600rds in a nice poly ammo can for $120

[yuppiejr]

That's a good price for Mini Mags in an ammo can, nice find. I came up with $135 or so shipped most places I compared that price with online.

Gander in lakeville had about 15 cases on display!

I need to go take a gander at Gander I guess eh?

[Phippy]

Worth the trip. They also have a steel can with JHP Federal .223 for $399 for 1000rds. Didn't think it was that bad of a price!

If you order 10 boxes, its 16.99/box and about 25 shipping. 20 boxes is about 36 shipping.

Forgive me and my newness here, but who was 1911Fan and what happened to him and when/why?

I have noticed an absence of any decent ammo in the area gun stores. Makes me even more anxious to visit my buddies in Wyoming! No emissions laws, no semi-auto assault weapon or handgun restrictions, no NFA restrictions (you can get anything), and yes if you are a citizen of Wyoming you don't even need a permit to carry concealed within the state! I might as well just move there!

Back on topic. Unless you get lucky and find some ammo locally you're probably going to have to order it online.

I'll do my best to cover this question, since nobody else has.

1911fan was one hell of a guy, long story short.

Long story, long: Pete was a friend to everyone, probably knew more about firearms than 99% of the people you will ever meet in your life. Had more stories (most of which come to find out were true) than 100% of the people you will ever meet. He'd make a trip across the twin cities at 11pm to do a favor for somebody who asked, and then he'd refuse payment of any kind. He'd sit and chat for hours, he'd help with anything home improvement related as he was a highly skilled carpenter and plumber. Give the man a diet coke and be amazed at his work. All the while, you'd be certain he was telling you a tall tale, and then about 3 months later you'd hear from somebody else how that tall tale was actually true...

Pete passed away last year, in his fifties, entirely too soon. I can still hear his unique laugh, and see his smile with that kick ass mustache of his. The guy had a style and character that extremely few people have. I had the good fortune of spending some time with him for a couple years, and it sincerely gripes my ass that that time was cut short. Still haven't come to terms with him passing away.

He sounds like a heck of a guy and the world is a better place for him having been in it, and a sadder place for him having left it. My condolences to all who knew him. If only I were so lucky.

That was well said.

I didn't know Pete long, but in the last year of his life we became pretty good friends.
Spent a few night together at Alary's- not heavy drinking so much, as siting out front on the sidewalk patio watching the city go by until closing. He was something of an insomniac, and I had just lost my dad. It was great therapy for me, but it was Pete being Pete...
We got together once to fix someone's furnace.
He had driven from the U to Richfield during rush hour, I happen to be working sorta close, so we met up and got it figured out, set him up with some parts. During the 1/2 hour or so I was there, he got 5-6 calls, all from people looking for help, advise, etc.
Invariably Pete was ready to jump into whatever was there, and every conversation had at least one of those signature chuckles....damn...

No kidding...

This is exactly what I was talking about.

You know that house in Richfield? That was mine. On Oakland Ave right? We had moved down here to Iowa, and Pete came to save the day when my Realtor found the furnace had quit working. He saved me likely hundreds of dollars that time, because, go figure, "Pete knew a guy" who could help. Pete always "knew a guy." I never knew it was you xd ED until right now. I owe you a big thank you. Even after passing, Pete never ceases to amaze me. He spent a majority of his time doing for others. Truly an example to be admired and followed.

xd ED, you'll have to let me know if there is ever a way an Iowa farmer can repay the favor!
