UPS dropped my ten boxes off on the back porch around 10:30 this morning.
Ordered the 11th and delivered on the 14th..... not bad....I've experienced way worse.

As a side note, I like how PSA wraps the ammo in plastic wrap. Never had any other shipper do that before.

I like that as well. My 10 boxes came yesterday, a bit after lunch. As a side note, today only they've got CCI Stingers for just $80.00 @ brick of 500. (.16 cents a round).

Well, I've got to get some of those. And Winchester White Box .223 Rem Ammo 55 Gr FMJ, 20rds for $11.99, instead of $19.99. 60 cents a pop is better than a dollar any day, and I don't recall ever having bad ammo of any kind from Winchester. Fiocchi .380 ACP 95gr FMJ Ammunition 50rds is $20.99, down from $29.39, so I'll probably grab 100 rounds.

The Deal of the Day is a PSA AR-15 Bolt Carrier Group 5.56 Full-Auto Nitride MPI not for $129.99, but $69.99. I'm getting one because my can cannon doesn't have one and I don't want to keep swapping BCGs. I should get a headspace gauge too, so I get the bolts in my other 3 uppers sorted once and for all.

PSA has PMC X-Tac 5.56 Ammo 62 Gr LAP 20rds for $9.99, so I took the WWB out of my cart and added 25 boxes of this, a Gas Block Genie, 4 knives, a 4 pack variety of Caliber Coffee, etc. All of my ARs have 1/7" or 1/9" twist rifling, so 62 grain bullets should work better. I think 2 are 1/7 and the other 1 is 1/9, and I don't have anything with a slower twist other than my Contender. I'm pretty sure it's only a 1/12" twist. PMC X-TAC 5.56 rounds contain the M855 penetrator bullet and are loaded with the SS109 steel core penetrator projectile under the full metal jacket. I think LAP stands for Light Armor Penetrator. Does anyone know for sure?

My penetrator is hard but doesn't go through armor.  :o  ;D

Fiocchi 22LR Sub-Sonic 40gr Ammo 50rds, $3.99. That's $4 off. I don't need sub-sonic ammo for anything, but I will be buying some Stingers while they're on sale.

Factory 2nd's Remanufactured Subsonic 5.7x28mm 55gr FMJ (Bulk Packaged) $24.00 for 50 rounds, $240.00 for 500 at Detroit Ammo Co.  I don't know if that a good price for 5.7x28mm or not, but they have it.

My friend bids on storage units that have been abandoned or passed due. He asked for my help to sort out what to keep or throw away. Well guys I scored. We found 1500 rounds of mini mags and about 3000 rounds of mixed 9mm amp. All in boxes inside of Home Depot buckets. There was a box od mixed 12 gauge and half tin of 5.45x39. Craig kept all the 12 gauge and we split the 9mm. He gave me all the mini mags and the 5.45.

What Frank said.  Also it's good to see you back on the forum!!
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

Congrats on the find.

Because I had connections in facility management I used to get dibs on abandoned furniture and equipment left behind when companies vacated.   The trade off was I removed everything except the trash and built in wiring.  Got some old TVs, projectors and lots of desks and chairs.  Those I sold to non-profits for pennies on the dollar to cover my cost.
