Ammo

OK,Here's how ya do it..1,Join a pistol club that has 24hr.access(like I did) 2.Get a target permit. 3.When you carry"You,re going to or from the range". It used to work in Suffolk Co.. All the guys I used to shoot with up there did it. They were SAFE GAURDING their firearms. WALLA!

I had my original Colt M16 rebuilt and enhanced cuz I couldn't find a new AR available to buy. Started looking for ammo and found the usual places always sold out.

My sister told me about a website (Gunbot) that monitors many ammo dealers inventories, and updates every 15 minutes. It shows actual cost per round in every caliber, and connects you to their site.

I'm buying bulk (1,000) military loads from Lake City (55, 62, or 75 gr hp and jbt) for as little as 50 cents a round in military cans. Prices are higher now than last year, but still reasonable. Good quality heavy load (M855) ammo that is also waterproof and head stamped NATO 12 or 13 brass. Check out Ammunition Depot or Palmetto State Armorers, or even Cheaper Than Dirt.

I bought a Blackhawk rifle case from Cheaper Than Dirt for $22 along with several other items. Watch the shipping charges carefully as items come from diff. warehouses and they charge separate s&h from each warehouse. I cancelled most of the order when I saw the s&h equaled the cost of the merchandise. The rifle case s&h was $9, so I kept that.

I e-mailed them on their ridiculous s&h charges and the reply was "Order items from the same warehouse (A,B,C,D,etc) to save money". Now I know, but think they use that excuse for up-charging customer.

Wal-Mart ammo shelves here are eternally empty.

Forgot to mention: I needed 30 rd. mags before Colo's stupid July 1st cut-off date, and couldn't find them anywhere for less than $50 ea. I e-mailed Magpul and told them my predicament.

They replied that they have an emergency program for CO residents to buy direct from them in limited quantities. I ordered 10 gen3 pmags @ $12 each and got them 2 days later. They are shutting down their operations in CO to protest State legislature stupidity, and moving plant elsewhere. Take that Gov. Chickenpooper!!!

Thanks HRK and FLHT. I just got the rifle case, and it was a good buy. I was looking for a Troy TRX 13" free-float battle rail. They have it priced at $199--what do you think?
