Dude, I've been "stocked" for years! Sure, I could always use a few more mags and or ammo but quite honestly I didn't blink during the Newtown crap. When people were fretting about $3K AR's and $50 PMAGS I just laughed. You snooze you lose.
$50 PMAGs that's cheap, CTD had them priced at $99.99 LOL . . . I think they are still sitting on a warehouse full of mags that no one bought.
One can only hope that they are. I would say they hurt us more than ever helped.
I watched people try to hock mags at $50+ for months after that, some even trying to get as much as $200. Sadly the LGS who usually had the highest prices actually ended up being the place with the best prices on mags and 5.56 which was the only reason i was able to shoot. I had plenty, though since prices have dropped I've added a number of mags to my inventory. That said, I remember having people trying to buy my ARs and mags at the range when I went shooting, got some crazy offers and some trying to "help me" get rid of those evil rifles before the gov starting kicking in doors and confiscating. Buying what I can when I have the money and sliding deals to those I know who can use the deals the best I can.
I still can't 9mm for the price and quantity that I want, and I'm not being unreasonable here.
You have checked out LAX reloads? I'm loving that stuff.

Went to WalMart yesterday. 1200 round ammo cans of 9MM. I asked the guys how much it was. $497!! I just said, wow, that's a bit too pricey. They just both shook their heads and said I know, sorry. It was a bit surreal all together. The ammo in stock, the price, two people at a sporting goods counter in a Walmart when there is typically none, and both looking genuinely sorry about the price of goods.
As long as that ammo can sit at $497 and nobody's buying, the better things will eventually get...
We should have a beer sometime AUG....:)Quote:
This is the state of the nation because the idiots grossly outnumber those who take time to actually understand the issues at hand. This is also why we have a nation who voted for the novelty of "having helped elect the first black President" regardless of his qualifications (or complete lack of qualifications) or his various anti American agendas.
I still can't find certain bullets (Barnes 300BLK 110gr black tip and Barnes 130gr TTSX). You can find them loaded for $1.65, but I need to do load development instead of wasting money. So the shortage is still in effect.
