Dredd 126 Posted June 29, 2020 Just curious, what are my brothers south of the border pay for .22 ammo, say a 100 pack of CCI mini mags? I don’t remember exactly, but it’s around 12 dollars at the local Canadian Tire. A box of Federal Power Shok .30-06 is 25.99, which is actually come down in the last couple years. It was over 30 a box a couple years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have a Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 mag on order. Our outdoor range has a pistol range and a rifle range out to 300yds, someday will be 1000yds. I go regularly. Yearly dues are $30, senior rate over 60 is $18. Bargain. We also have an indoor clubhouse/range. beretta 92s fits comfortable in your pocket[pant's], the handle hangs out though.

My great uncle recently passed it to me. .32 rimfire Remington Elliot We haven't exactly gotten along over the years, but he knows I appreciate and value family stuff, so he knows that by passing it to me it will stay in the family. That’s really cool, my grandfather had a 4 barrel rifle like that configuration. It was a old west buffalo gun. Not sure what ever happened to it, assume one of my uncles got it but not sure which one since 2 of them have passed away and I only have one left. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I would ask the Uncle that is still living about it , never know he might leave it to you since you showed interest , or at least know where it went and solve the mystery 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like a big store as there is a receptionist that directed my call to the gun department. Very friendly and helpful people helped me arrange the transfer as I never done that before It was suppose to ship yesterday. He said I may have it by Friday. We will see. bought the gun from redd’s. Local dealer here sent him his FFL numbers. When it arrives I owe the local dealer $20 for the paper work on the dealer transfer to his location. Shipping was only $15. Local dealer says he charges $35 handling and shipping on any one gun shipment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PROV 1,440 Posted June 30, 2020 It's a nice store but not as big as you might think. It's a city block long and probably 60ft wide but they carry a big inventory and do alot of online sales. You are gonna love that gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I offered my well worn used gun for $1,000 I had bought it new for $700 couple years back...he jumped on it. that's the mode we are in.... couple neighbors ran out and bought new pistols back in May...and you could hear them range practicing in their backyards...they'd go through that box of 50 and stop...then this past month..the neighborhood has gone silent..nobody has ammo to shoot... my ARs come in both 10 and 15, and there are over 25 mags for each platform...20,25,30rd mags..and sevearl thousand rounds in both 7.62 and 5.56 my 12ga offerings include a couple pump guns and one auto-loader..and it took some time, but there's well over 1,000 rds of slugs and buck. the 22lr - Lord only knows the round count on hand, and it gets shot a lot..but probably still about 4k my primary pistol preference is 45acp...so with years of stocking up, there's ummm..a bunch. my wife is 9mm gal, and I've always kept about 800-1k for her. but with my recent Sig subgun acquisition in 9mm last December... I wound up beefing up my own 9 inventory to about 3500 rds. I can't imagine needing to buy ammo right now..prices ,when you can find any in stock, have more than doubled what I was paying even back in January. so , fortunately, like every other aspec of my preps...things are comfortably stocked and I'm riding this current panic out. ya'll stay safe. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted July 1, 2020 You'll guys with the firearms , got me back into it , I shot a hundred rounds yesterday ---- I been searching a self defense barrel for my Mossberg 500/88 which presently has a pistol grip and a 28 inch ventilate rib , kind of a funky set up , the18.5 inch self defense barrels have been discontinued and I found a few that are in auctions right now and the prices are insane ,all starting around $175 with days to go and finishing off up to $300 for a barrel , I can buy regular barrels cheap , brings me to something I know not much about and don't want to be " breakin' the law " , I have always heard you are not suppose to cut a barrel and be legal , or maybe it is cut it below a certain length , but I see barrels for sale on e-bay that are described as " professional cut " , whats up with that , would guess this is a every state has a different law question 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
