Ammo - good score this am

Holy Crap, Batman!

 

I haven't seen anything like that! Anywhere! 

 

Sure it's gone by now, but do you mind saying where it was?

Larry's pistol and Pawn in Huntsville, AL - they have been well stocked on 22 for the past month.  A friend who works there said they have more CCI on the way next week. They have a metric crap ton of ammo at decent prices - not quite pre NT but pretty good all things considered. 

 

They even had boxes of Barnes 300BLK 110s, Rem 220 OTM Subs, and Rem 120 Hog Hammer - those got me for a pretty penny!!  I need to start reloading badly.

Thanks. Had I a reason to go in that direction, it would make a great trip.

That picture brought a smile to my face - even at $30/box.

 Maybe there's hope for the rest of us.

I talked to a manager of a "smaller" big box store who has 32 gun departments in their nearly 70 stores.  One of their stores sells 140 guns per week.  I asked him where is the .22LR? I figured he might know as he is a also a shooter and in touch with the industry as they do around $10 mill/yr worth of business just with Sig.  These stores also sell ammo.  He says it appears until hoarders quit buying every round they see, even though may have 20K rds at the house, there will not be a remedy.  He also said that having a President who quits saying the word "gun" would also help. He told me he talked to a guy from Remington, (new Remington ammo plant that makes only rimfire ammo) and was told if they had no new orders it would take 4.5 yrs just to catch up with the orders they currently have.  

 

I figure I will not see a case of CCI SV at a decent price for several more years, which means I will be scrabbling around for a box here and there for crap ammo for some time to come. I'm frigging disgusted with the whole thing.  This situation may make me start shooting centerfire long guns or maybe air rifles - "Horror has a face...."

And during all of this Olin Mfg still can't make their numbers and their stock just languishes...their Sr Mgmt should all be fired!

Good God!!!  Is that a mirage????  Could it be real?????

 

Wow...that is an image that inspires hope.  Yes, hope - and change.
