22LR, what happened this time, they are everywhere

[kmish105]

It does go stale, ladies and gents. Buy a crap ton of it when it's cheap,. Shoot the pxss out of it when you can, give it to the kids or the boy scouts,. Whatever.

i kinda figured that it does although ive never looked into it to find truth. had some issues with some of my 22 that had been in the safe for a few years. not i just try to buy what i need when i know im gonna be shooting it

Long guns slung over entry knobs? You think I am a primitive barbarian? Of course not, I built a long gun rack for guests who bring long guns.

I apologize for the insult!

Allotted means that when they get in shipments that they will only allow each shop to buy so much at a time. This way everybody gets a little. They do the same thing when the newest hot gun comes in

So why isn't it going to be the same price?

Pricing from a reputable shop will only change when the distributor raises the pricing. It has a snowball effect. Distributor raises price to shop, shop raises the price to customer.

They obviously learned nothing from the last time. Problem is that MANY forgave them. Tried buying something from them over 20 years ago. Product was "not as described". Took forever to get it returned and get a refund. Swore to never do any business with the slimy bastards and I haven't. Buyer beware.

If he wasn't reputable I wouldn't be dealing with him.

Otherwise you are making my point. They create the need and adjust the price up in response to the 'need'.

Up til last week I was buying 9mm 16 - 19.5 cents a shot, not in bulk, just box by box off the shelf. What number do you think the roulette wheel will land on now?

Way too many variables for price of ammo. What a shop usually carries they probably won't be able to get. Aluminum case, steel case, brass case, different grain weights and purposes. Different brands just plain cost more that others and whatever quantity a shop usually buys probably won't be as much as they're allowed to at the moment which can raise price a bit since it's not the same quantity.

Oh, if only Pmags would go back up in price.

I immediately delete any email I get from cheaperthandirt.com & don't even see what their prices are on anything.

 

[bwframe]

Somebody should save these prices to pass along to the next "name" they hire to wear their brand.

I know organizations and individuals need and appreciate sponsors, but this actually gives them a bad name.

I always think about that, but in the middle of the runs, then I think, better keep them...

i just have this feeling that my speculation buys will end up with me having a bunch of mags that won’t be legal to sell.

Yeah that’s another worry, and the extra ARs...

 

[openwell]

yep,
I remember meeting a guy to buy a stripped lower receiver for $350 in 2012 and almost buying it for a DIY build!
glad I didn't try that

 

[Michigan Slim]

Thats very considerate of you! I had three different people walk up to my house with long guns Sunday. Had to put them on the floor.

I've had a few boxes of Winchester Wildcat that has lasted decades that I have shot periodically (I shoot plenty of other 22 as well) and no issues.

There is plenty of ammo out there that when stored properly has lasted longer than many of us will live.
