I don't think I did too bad......

Almost 2 weeks ago, I got in touch with the guy that used to own the local gun shop and range near my home. Health issues forced him to sell and downsize quite a bit and now he mostly does online sales/purchases and some stuff in his small shop at his home.

Anyway, I asked him if he knew of anyone that had any unopened 'spam cans' of 7.62x54R ammo (440 rounds Warsaw Pact Mil-Surp), for a reasonable price. I've looked and looked, but nobody seems to have any.

He told me he 'might' have one in his shop and he'd get back to me the next day (his shop was already closed up for the day).

I got a message from him the next afternoon saying he had one spam can and I could have it if I wanted it. I asked him 'how much?' and his reply was $159.

The wife and I drove about 35 miles to his shop and picked it up 2 days later.

It's a nice 'cushion' in my current supply stash for my Mosin 91/30.

Not a bad price at all now.
