Attention AFF - Part II
 

Remember my ammo thread on 04/04/13? I hadn't been able to find any 9mm ammo. Well, here's the 9mm ammo I've been able to acquire since then! The Lord has blessed me indeed!

Very cool. I am particularly jealous of that mega pack! Where did you find the ammo and for how much?

My situation is that I can find 50 round boxes of 9mm ammo but it is $20-25 per box and not really good stuff. The good stuff is $18 -$26 for a box of 25 rounds.

Still hoping to hit the jackpot at Wal Mart but last couple of days have not had the energy to drag myself to the store at 7 pm to wait for the truck to come in. Last time I did there were only 2 boxes of 9mm and 5 people in line ahead of me.

If you want to buy ammo, join a decent gun board and look in their Marketplace, most of them have them and the sellers are usually not trying to gouge anyone.

Re: Attention AFF - Part II
 

Megapack (250 rounds) at Walmart for $70.00
Federal Value Pack (100 rounds) at Walmart $21.99
Winchester Value Pack (100 rounds) at Walmart $24.99

They're rip-offs! I'd rather buy from Walmart.

Re: Attention AFF - Part II
 

I think you misunderstand. By 'gun board' I mean a discussion forum that caters to firearms enthusiasts. They usually have a 'marketplace' where individuals post things for sale. I have found the best prices on mags and most ammo to be in those places. WalMart is still selling ammo at pre-panic prices but that's assuming they HAVE any ammo, which they usually do not (round here, anyways).

Of course, I'm not into 9mm, so YMMV.

Still nothing around here.

Ever check the prices at Cheaper Than Dirt? There is a REASON they still have a lot of ammo in stock. My goodness, $149 for a 500 brick of 22????

Re: Attention AFF - Part II
 

Yup. However today I did find a good deal there. I got a SCCY CPX2 9mm conceal gun for $259. It is the bi tone one. 10 rounds and just 15 ounces. Oh, and free shipping.

Overall though you are correct. Based on posts on gun boards CTD has run off a lot of customers. They would have been better off just not offering some of the things they offered at incredibly jacked up prices.

I think that at one point when the fear was at the greatest that high capacity mags would be banned CTD had that 100 round .223 / 5.56 drum that normally sells for $179-199 for something like $399.

Re: Attention AFF - Part II
 

CTD was the first to massively jack up their mag prices right after the scare started -like an AR mag which would normally go for somewhere in the 20's suddenly selling for $79, overnight. Although I have to admit to ordering and receiving 4 cheap 30-round AR mags from them in the past few weeks. I believe I paid about 15 bucks each. I may not be able to find ammo, but darn it, I will have something to put them in when I DO get it! :)

Re: Attention AFF - Part II
 

LOL, that is my problem now. I have dozens of 30 round magazines but finding ammo is the problem. Luckily I have a few hundred rounds of .223 and 4.45.

My weak spot is 9mm ammo. I know where I can buy it but it is just so cotton pickin' high it kills me. Once I recharge my batteries I will be back to hanging around Walmart with half a dozen other folks every night around 7 pm in the hopes to get lucky.

My Taurus 840 40 S&W should be arriving end of this week or next week and at least I have a couple of 50 round boxes of it so I can shoot it a little when it gets here.
