See, here's the thing - I've tried stuffing 45 and 556 into my Reminton 597, Walther P22 and a J.C. Higgins Model 28. Try as I might, It. Just. Won't. Work. Go figure...

Ohhhhhh. I get it. It's the Marie Antoinette approach to ammo. "Let them use 45." VERY clever!

as for the elusive 22LR, a friend of mine picked up a 555 rd box of Winchester for me around 9 o'clock this morning at Fishers Walmart while looking for some 45ACP, $25+change after tax. I wouldn't call that "early".

the supply is still out there.

Gander Mountain had tables FULL this past weekend for decent prices. It's out there, you just have to look and be patient.

I'm betting many of you are the guys who pump $5 of gas at a time.

If any of you can find plentiful .22LR at a decent price anywhere near the Fort let me know. I have a supply on hand, but I would like to purchase enough to replace what I shoot. Haven't seen any in the Fort at reasonable prices in 3-6 months. I check Walmart, Meijer, Dicks, Dunhams, and the LGSs. If I do find a couple boxes, it is at exorbitant prices—over $50 for what used to sell for $20.

I often see it online at reasonable prices—until I have to pay the shipping. Gunbot keeps me informed. I just do not want to pay more than double per round over what I paid before the SHTF last November/December.

So, if you see it up here near the Fort, pass the word. Maybe I can grab a box before the flippers snap it up.

Use a bigger hammer! I'll bet you could get it to "fire".

To everyone that is upset about all of the "flipping..." Why don't I see you complaining about the prices that some people ask for their guns or accessories on here? Truth be told, you wont die if you cant shoot for a little bit. I cant find any .22 either but I just get out a different rifle that I can reload for and shoot that until the supply returns. C'est la vie!

 

[tenring]

I'm OK for the time being, flipped all but two cases, grandson getting interested in shooting.

Where have you been. They do complain just not to the extent of the ammo deal.

It's what we consumers do. We grouse when gas prices go up, when Duke raises our electrical rates, when .gov raises taxes, and on and on and on. It seems for as many people that complain, there's an equal number that complain about the complainers.

Its a shame people are out doing this,they should be turned in for gouging

It's a shame people pay the price that the sellers are asking


Lord forbid people to buy and sell as they please


There was a time where you could find any PMAGs in gunstores, people bought them as soon as they came in. As soon as people quit buying them, they magically reappeared. You'd think that people would figure this out eventually and ammo would be readily available again but......

Actually, buying up all of a resource in order to artificially create scarcity and inflate the price is not free market at all. It IS capitalism though, and is a good example of one of the major flaws in pure capitalism. All pure economic theories have some pretty major flaws.
