Any one of those cases could last me for a lifetime of mosin shooting. I'm sure there are people that have piles that big of 22 ammo in their basement.
Well, much as I'd love to have a couple grand to blow on surplus ammo.....Ahh! That's why you buy in bulk!
My last order with AIM was for 15,800 rounds of 7.62x54R.
All of the crates in the photo are full of sealed tins.
The UPS guy HATED me that day they showed up, until I offered to help. His truck suspension was riding on the bump stops I think.
FWIW I've never regretted buying bulk surplus comblock ammunition. I wish I'd bought more (and not shot it all) when I was younger. Back when AK ammo was 8 cents a round.
I bought the 7.62x54R when it was selling for $62 / 440 rds.
Surplus ammo, historically, ONLY goes up in price. So it's not a bad investment, either.
I like the fact that you have an oil filled heater for you ammo.
I dont see a knife in that picture...so I will assume that you've placed it with your hunting gear.
Aint that the truth.$16.51 shipping from Natchez there, one brick per day limit. Kinda kills the savings over shopping local.
Crazy talk indeed. Obviously, it's the people who are selling it for 65 bucks a brick who are causing the shortage. I mean, come on, like, totally. Raising the prices always causes a shortage, right?You guys don't suspect that the hundreds of thousands of new shooters who just recently got into the sport or the astronomical numbers of ammo hungry tacticool 22's sold in the past few years combined with a credit starved expansion adverse manufacturing sector has anything to do with a tight supply,
No of course not. That's crazy talk!
It's all because of a few retired guys hanging around Walmart and a couple dozen gunbroker sellers. ;-)
I belong to a private rifle club and in the past there would be several shooters at the 50-100 yard range, the favorite for rimfire shooters. Not so much now. The irony of all time sales records for 22LR with a dramatic reduction in shooting is hard to miss.
