I could donate $10 so he could at least have three shots to blast his front door out :roll:

Ff in carver had federal xm 193 ball for 10 bucks a box not a bad price, used to be I think 6.99 last summmer so a little increase for the supply and demand side of things I guess.

Because some places still are marking them up double or triple the normal price. I seen in gun shops 12 dollar pmag for 30 bucks and that was just last weekend. There is still a high demand for everything and after the IRS and all the white house scandals I don't see nothing changing till there's a new administration or all rep senate to go with all rep house. Just my 2 cents I been shooting since I was 12 and collecting so I'm sitting pretty good with my stash :D

Well, just got an email, the 5th one... from Cabella's...telling me they may have the ammo in on the 25th of X month. I've recieved one a month since Jan 2013.

I swear, next time I buy, it's 5,000-10,000 of .45ACP and 10,000-25,000 of .22LR, wife be damned. No more small orders.

I just hoard that much. I've always bought atleast 2 boxes to every 1 I shoot, but I really like a 3:1 or even a 4:1 ratio. That's why when no one can find .22LR, I have 15,000 rounds in reserves at the moment. I'm waiting (5 months now) for 5,250 rounds of .22LR, so I should have ordered more. Yeah, reloading may not be a bad way to go.

It must be.

While in my local WalMart yesterday picking up a few things, I walked by
the ammo case and saw some boxes of Remington .22LR on the shelf.

First time in months I've seen any on the shelf.

You are mistaken if you feel a few boxes on the shelf at Walmart signifies the panic is over. Stop back today. I am sure they are gone. Were there any other flavors on the shelf? Thought so.

Those little 50 count boxes showed up on Armslist this morning 10 boxes along with some of the quiet rounds you may have seen on the shelf. Fellow wants $100 for this little treasure. Someone will buy them :o

Someone missed it. That's why it was there.

I'd rather this guy get a real job...
Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

1: He got them easily at a "normal" price and made up that BS to con you into believing your getting a deal and he is doing you a favor by providing this service.

2: Most likely, he is a complete idiot running around spending time and money trying to play "business man" to make a quick buck not aware that his time, gas, and wear on his car are putting him in the red. Same thing happened with the Hotwheel collectors back in the 90's and some of those idiots are still at it.


Either way I will no support guys like that, all they do is falsely drive up the costs for everybody.

I do believe in freedom and a guy like that should be allowed to do what he does but I also exercise my freedom by not supporting it, so should all of you.
