Thanks for the info but I just bought three boxes of Winchester 555 22lr for $23/box at Walmart. 1665 rounds for just about $74 out the door.

Well, CTD is doing their part in supplying the desperate. I'm curious to see how long they survive when this ends. $59.95 per hundred? LOL, that is about as bad as I've seen. Pre-Newtown they were $7.99 on the high side.

The nice thing about CTD is that they always let you know how much is too much to pay.

I just the love the irony of their name when compared to their actual prices....I'll never spend a dime with them.

Dang. Ok if any of you are willing to pay $59.99 per 100 I'll let my 48 boxes go for $40 a 100.

I have ordered from CTD during normal times. Yes, I remember the elevated prices on magazines duirng the last shortage period. But I have never ordered any of that stuff. I would never buy a 100ct box of CCI 22LR ammo for $60. That is just stupid. I don't have to shoot that much.

Has anyone actually called them to see if the pricing was accurate for a 100ct box of CCI 22LR. I find it hard to believe that it is a real number.

Pricing.... I stopped at a local gunshop the other day when I was passing by. Was curious what their stock was like in firearms. They had firearms galore. My eyes landed on a "new" M63 Smith..... priced at $820. I may be a bit of a fool at times, but they had it priced above MSRP. Add on top of that, I think the gun was used. It was too dirty to be a new gun as they claimed. I just left. They are about to loose a regular customer over this kind of stuff. I can't trust them any more.

The same thing is happening or going to happen with CTD. Customers will scrutinize pricing and service after this shortage period ends and they will suffer.

Well I hate to break it to you guys, but that deal is not as good as it looks. The shipping on it is $12.16. That makes it over $71.00 for 100rds of 22lr. I knew there was a catch.

Also if you like bulk here is 5000 rds of colt 22lr for just $1,495.55.

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/AMM-022

or maybe just 500 rounds for $199.59

They pulled the same "stuff" back in '08-'09. They're still around...

At that price I think I would rather use up the last of my old Remington .22 ammo (which I truly dislike using because of all the problems I have with it), than give in to that kind of extortion.

CTD is probably the most dis-honest, selfish, scammer company in the Gun Industry. Ever since NewTown they have attracted new customers (afraid of ammo and gun bans) that apparently have money ($) and do not know the market.

Boosting .223 up to $2 a round, 100 round of CCI for $60....this is COMMON for these crooks.

I will NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DIME with this SCUM-BAG organization. They have perfected the RIP-OFF and have no regard for their honest customer base (Us).

If I ever run into these guys at SHOT (show) I plan to VOMIT on their display counter.

I urge you not to spend your honest money with this company.

Bob

The unfortunate thing is for those of us who have been around awhile...CTD used to be a great company with competitive prices.

The last time I purchased anything from CTD was about 10 years ago. Before they started jacking up their prices, they first jacked up shipping charges significantly (they almost doubled for no reason, and buying ammo from them was really bad).

It seems there are still enough sheeple in the market to buy from them, which continues to validate their business model. I'm hoping these people wake up.

I was a good CTD customer. They still send me their catalogs. I use them to light the fireplace. Haven't made a purchase from them in 5 years and probably never will again.

I hope they choke.

I LOVED getting their catalog pre-internet days-cheap and awesome. As Hemingway said,"Remember them as they were, and write them off."

I haven't ordered from CTD for quite a while, but they still send me there catalogue. I noticed they don't even bother to list the prices in the ammo section. It will be a cold day in Haitis before they get any of my money ever again.

CTD MAY be doing their part to supply the desperate. I'm doing MY part to not feed panic and inflate prices.

7.62x39 is selling-elsewhere-for a good bit less, .25/rd.
5.45x39 for .18/rd. Modern Russian combat ammo.
7.62x54R for approx. .20/rd. These were on Gunbot today.

The novices and gullible seasoned shooters actually pay a fair bit More than that for puny .22LR, when they could be blasting apart concrete chunks with both SKS/AK-47, 74/Mini 30
rounds.
It is so strange that the type used in "The Winter War", "Enemy At The Gates (Stalingrad snipers)", 'Russian Front' costs much less.
Truly baffling.

You could get 100 rounds of eley target for cheaper than that. They also have .17 HMR for a buck a round
