The goal is to empty the shelves of ammo ...  Shouldn't be too tough the way things are going these days.

I haven't bought too much of anything yet so I'll make sure to get at least a couple hundred rounds  ;)

OK ... I know today is only the 18th, but I got an e-mail from Midway USA this morning and then the bossman pissed me off!

1,000 rounds of ammo should be on UPS yet today!

I was surprised that even with shipping the price was VERY competetive  ;D  I've bought several times before through Midway USA as a way of getting ammo when I'm flying somewhere, and I always viewed it as paying a premium for the convienence.  However, this time it was a good deal no matter how you look at it.

I've done my part ...

Went to two of the local stores, got a brick of .22LR at each - not Remington. Had lots of FTF with the Rem .22 at the Appleseed (3-5 misfires per box!). Already have a few of the .223 and .308.

The gunshop I mentioned previously - The Outdoorsman in Fargo - still has lots of ARs in various configurations and flavors. I heard MD mention that people cannot find them in some areas. They also have a dozen DPMS stripped lowers. I was stunned when I saw the price tags - $200. I had paid $130 for mine earlier this year. That's a 50% increase.

To help pay for more goodies, I've been considering selling some of my battle packs of '80's Hirtenberger 7.62x51 I got a while back. I saw a case of Hirtenberger on Gunbroker for almost 2 grand - that's $2 a round. I have a gun show coming up in a month, may take them over there.

That's OK Alf.  I can wait, and we can chat while we stand in line.  ;D

Any ideas on finding mags for my Ishapore 2A?  I have tried most of the milsurp sites and Brownells with no luck.

Bought 250 rds. 9mm for the FN, and more .22lr., wanted .45ACP but will get online. MidwayUSA.com gives those with a b-day a little discount if purchased during the b-day month. ;D

I really want to stock up on .45LC. I love to shoot mine but that sticker shock makes it tougher to enjoy. :-\
