Hahah Right?!?! It's refreshing to see a good group of people just pissed off, and fucking things up to make things right.

AFAIK, the folks running ammoseek, are not making a dime off of things (other then advertising / adsense).

Seeing .45 coming back down to $.40 a round, and .223 under $.75 a round, sure is nice. :cool
 
I stop shooting brass when stuff like this happens. I just switch the bolt out and shoot plastic bullets. 4200 FPS at 10 grams a round..only accurate up to about 100 yards, but does it really matter? they say the rounds are deadly at 20 yards. and at 350 bucks for 1000 rounds for my HK so im fine with that.

I have had no problem getting all the 10mm I want throughout the hoarding panic.

Those fine gentlemen at Underwood produce excellent full power stuff for far less than the cost of the wimpy "standard" rounds that the majors produce. :thumbup

I was getting 357 and 38spl at local stores too. "weird" rounds that weren't as popular apparently. But then 303 Enfield has been ridiculously priced locally for years for some reason.

only way to get .22 locally is to not go to work on Friday mornings apparently :(
 
Almost made a 5,000rd purchase on 12ga but called to double check the price....TYPO :mad

Typo on several brands. Instead of 250 for $13 its 25 or $194 for 250 instead of 2,500.....damn!
 
Thanks for the link to ammo seek. The ammo I bought last month was from Russia. :laughing
 
I have been to a number of shops around central California over the last couple weeks, and there are certainly more guns and more ammo on the shelf. In the span of two weeks, one shop went from having 2 boxes of .22 that they were selling for $139, to having a full stock at less than half that price.
 
slickguns.com

Is another good one. I just picked up some 12ga 7.5 shot for less than $70 shipped for 250. Of course I over bought but can always trade or sell it when it comes.
 
i just bought some 9mm at the same price as I did last year before the shortage :party
 
Thanks for the awesome resources, y'all. :banana
Now if I could only find a Ruger 10/22 takedown anywhere around the Bay...

Anywhere in the world! Lol just got a carbine model. Love it. Its the Barbie doll of guns lol
 
I know, right?
Me and my little plinker and my pegleg are such a threat to the state...



Want another one so my gf and I can take our takedowns, ride to Chabot on our bikes, and do an Appleseed shoot together. That's what she wants for her birthday.
 
I got my 10/22 Takedown in Roseville at the Sportsman Warehouse. They get a shipment in regularly and sellout usually that day. I showed up half hr after opening and they had sold 3 already! Anyway, they said "we get some in on Wednesday the xx..." ,so give them a call.

Its my favorite little plinker. Really easy to clean cuz it pops apart, but you know all that... If you put optics on it, be careful to make sure its not too big, mine barely fits in the awesome little backpack that it comes in.

:thumbup
 
Slowly. ;)

(One gimpy step at a time--beats regular crutches by a mile)

Thanks for the tip on Sportsman Warehouse, too. Might be too far, might not. I'll keep calling around. When I called Dublin Big 5, they told me they hadn't gotten any in a while and there was a long waiting list. Big 5 Alameda said they hadn't gotten any type of 10/22 for over a month.
