    Stopped in at my LGS this morning as I had seen on Facebook where they had posted that they had recieved a huge shipment in. They did indeed get a big shipment in. Looked like all there guns were stocked back to normal levels but they place was packed and guns were flying out the door. They even had a big shipment of AR-15 in but the prices were unreal on them.
    I picked up 3 boxes of 40 cal as they did have a limit on rounds.
    About the only gun I would like to pick up is a Ruger 10-22 Takedown really a nice little 22 rifle. But they are really hard to come by.

    yeah my lgs had stuff coming in several AR -15s and some AR-10s
    but most were higher end guns LMT LWRC etc...

    A few TWS (local builder) at $1100 so not bad.

    Pmags were $28 each ouch...

    I like the takedown, should have bought one
    when they had them on sale in Nov...

    Yeah we got a cold front coming through
    fine with me, the heavy winds have blown all the pollen
    out of the trees vs letting hang around and we like the
    freeze to hit lightly, helps oranges get sweeter and kills
    the bugs in the yard.

    Plus I get to wear long pants and sleeves for a day or two
    without sweating my arse off...

    Our LGS had it yesterday for 21.00 which is the cheapest I have seen it in a very long time. They also had other brands for 25.00.

    So if you have a 45 seems its very plentiful.

    If that was JHP, it's very cheap. You sure it wasn't FMJ ?

    Never said it was hollow point. I manly by ammo for target shooting. I keep the hollow point for self defense.

    Picked up some 40 cal for 19.95 and 9mm for 16.00 at Northwest Armory.

    Those ammo prices are a bit high. I just paid 16 a box for 9mm yesterday which is 320 for a thousand. Last summer I was paying 10.95 a box for 9mm. Also paid 19.95 for a box of 40 cal.
