Just came back from an ammo firesale conducted by one of only two gun stores in the Asian country where I reside.
Every Nov/Dec, this gun store does an inventory count and if a certain load/round has been in storage for more than 10 years, if very few lots have been bought even with discounts offerred or the ammo shows signs of tarnishing/rust, they slash the price by as much as 80% and offer other free ammo with the severely discounted rounds.
Anyhow, after struggling with 17 other bargain hunters in a small and dingy shop space, I managed to get the following ammo:
400 rounds of 12ga Fiocchi Top Trap 7/8oz #7.5 birdshot at US$0.18/shell
(brass bases displayed very slight rusting)
350 rounds of .38 Special 148gr LWCs. The box was red and white in colour and labeled Winchester Western made by Olin Corp. (This was free)
500 rds of Fiocchi 115gr 9mm FMJ rounds at US$0.19/rd.
500rds of CCI .22LR minimags. (Free as stored for more than 10 years)
Total price for all the above ammo = US$167
How did I do in comparison to walmart or stateside gunshow standards?
What was the best deal you guys ever had?
