The Ammo Shortage

[Rudy Vey]

I haven't fired my Kimber .45 (with .22 conversion barrel), or PPK .380 in years, as NJ closed indoor ranges near me years ago. Good thing I stocked up on ammo during a visit to a KY Walmart 8-10 years ago. We recently moved and found several boxes of .380, 500 rounds of .45 and several thousand .22 lr. My brother-in-law in KY needs ammo, but with Covid, we haven't been able to get there.

there is a new indoor range in Union on 22. RTSP is the company, they also have a range in Randolph. The ports are a bit narrow, but it is the closest range to us now. I still go over the bridge as I like the outdoor range a bit better in these days.

I can only take solace in the fact that when (if) stocks return to normal levels the resellers/hoarders will be stuck with stock that they have to sell at "cost".

Amen!

We do a lot of clay shooting. If it’s available at a reasonable price, we buy it. This load is probably good for about 6 months. About 3,000 Rounds of 12 and 20 gauge low brass bird shot.

One of my New Year Resolutions is to shoot more. I suppose I didn’t think that through.....

although, going to the range just 1 or 2 times next year will be “shooting more” considering I did not go at all this year. So I win still!

I know the feeling. And I could deer hunt from my Lazyboy! We get busy with stupid, I swear.

@nikonNUT is laughing, and I SO want to tell you about my hunting plans for next year, but that danged @OkieStubble might read it!

Don’t worry. Maybe it will go over my head...

When I lived in NJ there were no public ranges open within 25 miles of where I lived (Chester Township). I would go to PA to shoot in the Poconos. Then I moved to FL and we had a few good ranges. Now that I am in AZ I have a choice of indoor or outdoor ranges.

Texas attorney general accuses firearms website of price gouging at start of pandemic

The Texas AG has accused the Fort Worth-based firearms website Cheaper Than Dirt of price gouging at the start of the pandemic.

Just checked prices at CTD. Winchester 9MM FMJ box of 50 is almost $60!

I'm laughing because I've seen it done! Still don't know how they got that recliner in a tree stand!!!

I'd love to tell the story of what my brother saw probably 30? years ago. It involved a bait pile and CCTV. We are talking about Northern Michigan, eh.

This year for Christmas I gave a few buddies each a brick of small pistol primers (I bought them when the price was less than 20 bucks a brick). You would have thought I had given them a bucket of gold nuggets.
Tears of joy and Happiness.

Sure hope the word doesn't get around.....I may end up with more friends than I can afford.

Are we talking tip of the mitt Northern Michigan or full blown you-per (phonetic spelling for the un-initiated...)? "Let go Hoton, eh?" Damn southern Canadians!

And in honor of Dave (And totally off tpics)!!!

The attorney general in TX, sued Cheaper than Dirt and they now have to return like 3-400K$ to customers for price gouging.

I know who I'm not sending anymore business to!

 

[oc_in_fw]

I have never bought anything from Cheaper Than Dirt...they are not cheaper than anything in the first place. Midway and Sportsman's Guide have always been cheaper than that rip-off site...not to mention the other ammo sites you can order from.

Wow, Paxton is doing something useful? Will wonders never cease.

And by the time they settle all the stuff what is probably a class action suit people will probably wonder why they got a check!

Interesting perspectives. Can't say I agree with most. Maybe I'm just used to the ammo game and wised up long ago.

No, I haven't ever sold ammo. In fact, gave a spare PSA AR to my good friend weeks ago.

Please teach us something we don’t know? I’m all about learning to do it smarter and not harder.
