Scored a hell of a deal....
Once in a while, a good deal just falls into my lap. I wasn't prepared for it and was actually caught off guard when I got the text asking if I was interested.
Two .50 Caliber ammo cans (both plumb full of ammo).... Ammo can #1. 2/3 to 3/4 full of loose .45 ACProunds, a couple boxes of JHP SD rounds, a package of .45 ACP 'Snap Caps' and 4 magazines for a 1911 (still haven't tried them in my 1911's). All said and done, there was 798 rounds of FMJ .45 ACP & 250 rounds of JHP. Ammo can #2. Completely full of boxes of .22LR ammo. Combination of ball, hollow point and bird shot rounds. Almost 3,500 rounds total. 3 magazines for a .22LR pistol or rifle (haven't figures out what type of firearm they fit). All for $250. I had the wife run out and buy some desicant packs. She counted out the .45 ACP rounds and put them in ZipLoc baggies with a desicant pack in each one. I figure to give some of the ammo to my son since his birthday was last Monday. I'll keep the 2 ammo cans and put the ammo I'm giving him, into one of those plastic ammo cans that you get from Cabela's when you buy bulk ammo from there. I need some 'aroma & recoil therapy'! Tomorrow would be perfect for that but, all my kids and their families and several friends will be here tomorrow. I'll be rollin' smoke on 6 racks of Baby Back Ribs, Baked Beans and feeding a small 'army' (16 people). |

Prior to purchase, while discussing the deal with the wife, she was like, "That's an awful lot of money for ammo at one time".
I said, "Yeah but........I'm gonna at least have him drop by so I can see what all he is offering to me". The wife wasn't happy about that because he's our daughter's ex boyfriend (and she had a Restraining Order on him). He dropped by one night last week and I spoke with him about it. Asked him if he could give me a few days to contemplate it and he said he would. He's always been honest with me and I actually have no problem with him. I talked with my son and a couple friends about it and they all said, "Yea, go for it". I told the wife I was gonna do the deal and she got pissed. Mumbled something about spending money that could be put towards other things (in the past month, 2 a/c units have died and the fridge is 'iffy', my bike is in the shop getting the carbs cleaned, we just bought a pig for the chest freezer.....). We replaced one a/c unit and the fridge is working great (for now). Other than current monthly bills and the payment plan to the hospital for my heart issues 2 1/2 years ago, we are debt free and have no loans. 'IF' the fridge dies, I can buy one and have it paid for in 90 days or less. Typical woman.....worries about $$$ all the time. In my defense, I did look up current pricing of that much ammo (to justify the purchase), and she told me (after she counted it all out), "You got a hell of a deal!" |

Shit. That didn't happen. Met up with a good friend I went to Vo-Tech and was stationed with at Ft. Knox today. Last I saw him was around 1997.....
