What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

Their warehouse is 2 towns over from us. We would get a lot of our ammo from them but recently, yeah nothing but crickets...even for dealers.
They do sell a lot to LE's though being that their storefront is an "Officers Store" so that might be where their stock is going.

that is a great way to burn their customer base.

 

VG6 Gamma SL and Magpul MLOK AFG2 adapter rail.

 

some local "deals" on the classifieds:

 

I sure don't anymore. I didn't stock up like I told everybody they should do.

Project Appleseed, and generally staying sharp.

 

AR Bolt repair kit and another MOE stock and some minor .45 ammo score

 

How are you liking the combo?

 

I like it. this is my first red dot on a pistol, it definitely takes some getting used to. Initially the hardest thing was quick dot alignment / target acquisition. I have been carrying it a lot and practicing drawing and target acquisition a lot, it is becoming better. Been to the range a few times with it, I like it. No issues carrying IWB at 330-4 oclock, I do not notice the red dot at all when it is in the holster. overall I am pleased. The 365 XL is flawless.

 

Midway USA order and some gifts from my neighbor for teaching his wife how to shoot.
Everything I told her, her husband already had but you know wives........lol

 

I've known a few wives.....

 

Now I just need to find something to feed them without having to open a HELOC.

 

Project Appleseed looks like a great thing, and a fun way to teach and learn history.

 

yup...

 

I don't understand what is going on in the market right now. I get that consumables like ammo can run short when people panic buy and hoard, but you can't even buy parts for reloading gear. ALL the dies are sold out. ALL the presses are gone. ALL the tools. There has to be a saturation point where supply being produced catches up. And these companies produce products by the thousands a day/week. Are there seriously people sitting on several hundred lbs of powder, 100,000 primers, and 6 presses with 3 to 4 sets of 9mm dies?

I have what I need, but it annoys the hell out of me that I can't buy ONE lb of powder to play with or ONE 20 round box of rifle ammo to sight in a scope.

 

Plus throw in 12 million + new gun owners that all need ammo as well. if each of them buys 100 rounds, thats 1,200,000,000 rounds needed just for them

"According to the NSSF-adjusted data for background checks, the first seven months of 2020 saw a record 12.1 million background checks conducted"

 

I finished up a batch of 500 220g 300blk subs then showed my wife some gunbroker ammo prices.

"See, look how much I'm saving us sweety!"

Years of digging through storage units and estate sales over the years, coming home with boxes of "what do you need all that for" can pay off later.

 

Was this 12M new gun owrners, or a million people like me working on my wife's one gun per month policy?

 

true, good question......
