Price below $200 plus shipping. I guess if you factor in inflation not the prices we saw years ago but hell probably close with the inflated dollar value.

7.62x39: about to go below $200 also. Again not the old days of buying and getting it at $79 delivered and a free trip to mother Russia to have dinner with Kalashnikov with the purchase of 2 cases or more but good to see prices dropping.

I read this morning that Gander Mountain is filing for bankruptcy. The claim to be America's Gun store. I'd bet money they gave money to Hildabeast campaign. They were hoping another 4 years of panic buying.

A few weeks ago I rode out to a newer Cabela's store. Only other one I was ever in was in Kearney like 43 years ago. We ended up checking out a Field & Stream store too. I commented then of that when Trump puts tariffs on all the imported Chinese they sell it would be their demise.

So much of America's strip malls are huge places overstaffed with no customers in them. I figure the huge profits from the Chinese is what keeps them open.

That is interesting boon Gander filing for bankruptcy. They had nice stuff but if yah shopped you could find much better prices.
I agree with yah on the retailers stocking up gambling on a possible Kankels win. Hell their is deals on all kinds of weapon related stuff going on. I don't want to see any of them go out of business but oh well they gambled and time to hit the buy button.

I'm actually surprised that we are seeing the import ammo as cheap as it is. It just goes to show how much of it's been imported & how cheap it was bought for by the distributors. Makes you wonder how much of it is currently on it's way too! Tariffs might put an end to it!

There is tons of imported ammo sitting in bonded warehouses, waiting for the ATF to approve release. When it does, watch the market get flooded as folks try and get in on the ground floor to recoup their investment, without taking too hard in the shorts.

Now, about that affordable .22 LR?

I just ordered a Ruger Charger, the standard model in blue steel. Should be here on Feb 23rd. I paid 44$ for a brick of 500 Armscor 22lr today and one of those new HC3R rapid rifle reload magazines with the extra striper clips. I plan on buying more mags tomorrow.
