Had a weird dream last night. Forgot most of it by now, but one major part I remember was I was traipsing about the countryside (somewhere in Europe) with a bunch of my friends, dressed in tweed and apparently off to do "something about the whole situation."
I was armed--get this--with a C96 Broomhandle Mauser and a Krag-Jorgenson Carbine. Other guns in the group included Webleys, M1895 Nagants, Roth-Steyrs, Browning 1900s, Vetterlis (!), M95 Steyrs, and even a Lebel or two.
But as you would expect, our real issue wasn't the guns (which were in perfect working order). It was finding the ammo. The only gun we could seem to find ammo for was the 1900, and I even remember arguing with the owner of a shop that the single 20-round box of .30 Mauser he had in stock should be less than the $48.95 he had marked on it. And even though this dream was apparently set in Europe back in (more or less) pre-WW1, I still thought about how much money I still have on my check card, since .30-40 Krag was only $44.95!
Either way, what we had was not enough for whatever it was we were going to do. After I woke up and ate some luch, I went over to Sportsman's Warehouse and picked up a couple boxes of .22 WRF for my Remington Mod.12CS. Just in case, y'know...
So the moral of the story is, make sure you have enough ammo for whatever you might need ammo for!
