If everyone is this up in arms about ammo I dont want to see what it will be like when we are waiting in line for 1lb bags of rice when the wheels fall off this train.

To you guys who are turning in people reselling ammo. Yes it sucks, yes it pisses me off. But remeber, if you ever bought a vehicle and wrote down any price other than what you paid, your guilty of it. If you ever bought or sold at a flea market or yead sale without paying taxes on the stuff, your guilty of it. If you sold a gun for a profit your guilty of it. Yes this stuff is silly and yes almost everyone here has done those things. That doesn't make them any more legal or ok than reselling ammo. Suck it up, call them on it if you must, but turning people into the goverment for petty shit is a slippery slope. Some of you guys would fit right in up in New York. They will pay you $500 to turn in your neighbor with an AR up there. Then a thread gets posted here about someone acting weird or calling the cops over a gun, or calling police on neighbors, etc everyone is in agreement that people and the goverement need to mind their own buisness. But obviously if something doesn't suit some of you guys your ready and willing to call the IRS in and possibly ruin their life. Glad I don't live next to you guys if we ever get New York legslation. I can actually trust my neighbors Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

For $3,875 you better get a gun that loads and shoots all by itself producing .5 inch groups at 50 yards while you relax in a lounge chair sipping your favorite beverage.   Or a GI museum piece.

Nope, only DL or EBT card. Or maybe library card or TJ Maxx charge card. Whatever the Dems think is appropriate for ID to vote.

Appreciate the heads up for people who may be out of it. I myself won't be going back in their stores....ever.

I'll probably end up buying the rifle since i make alot more and letting him use it on permanent loan since he'd feel bad and always want to pay me back for it if I just gave it to him, just to keep that thrill alive. Between him and my son they went through nearly $400 in ammo that day but they will never know that. It was worth it for my son to enjoy it and for me to break through someone's fears and watch them enjoy it. His fear dropped considerably after he seen i was right there and quick to jump in if something seemed off. I didn't yell like his uncle and dad did to him about it way back then, I calmly would show him how and calmly correct him as needed. Reactivate targets helped too lol

Hey guys, I picked up a "new" Mosin on Sunday. I'm really stoked about it being my first WWII-type relic. Sure, I'd love to have a Garand but those are a little out of my price range. I think this 1942 Izzy is in really good shape. The bore looks great and it came with all the goodies. It may not matter to everybody, but all the numbers match right down to the buttplate. Curiously though, it isn't a laminated stock. It's just the 2 piece with the dovetail on the bottom piece. Do the stocks get replaced in the refurbishment process? After a little chamfering of the bolt rim, it locks right in and I sent 5 rounds through the yard. Just got done with the quality time with the Hoppes.

Unless you're sitting in the parking lot or actually inside the Walmart the second someone posts an ammo sighting this thread is pretty much useless, except for bitching, and that's always fun.

And those of us who supported Dr. Paul are just flat out crazy.:)

Occasional sales are not subject to sales tax, so yard sales and flea market sales are not taxable unless you do that on a routine basis as a business. Most yard sale items are also sold at a price significantly below the original purchase price, so no income tax issue there either. Some of the other points are valid, but I guess I am somewhat concerned by comments from several posters that imply that its not OK to inform authorities when you think laws are being violated (obviously it is not OK if you have a a professional/ethical obligation not to inform, but rather to disengage) . I understand that everyone hates to pay taxes, and much of that has to do with concerens about government waste and tax fairness, but intentional tax cheating isn't the answer. However, reporting someone as a possible tax cheat merely based on sales activity that annoys you without knowledge of their business practices or whether they are in fact failing to report income and pay taxes is probably not the best thing to do either. :2cents:

Likewise. Dick's is on my crap list along with CTD and a few others. It may not matter to them, but they won't have to worry about ever seeing any of my $$ again.

I've just been turning in the larger resellers for suspected tax evasion. It only cost me a little time researching them online and a stamp for the envelope. Got one that I totalled up over $2k in online ammo sales in the last 3 months. :wave:

Yes one 500 round box of 556 at Walmart in hermitage I'm here now as I type and am staring at it get here quick!

Yes I have. I mentioned in another post somewhere on here. It was my FIL wanting .22lr. Long story short, I told him, "oh no, you voted for this joker, you're on your own."

I waited until someone else posted because your thinking is so alien to the way I see purchases. With that in mind, here is my take...   1. You don't get what you pay for when you are paying a lot more than the average price for an item. Usually, you are just paying for a name and bragging rights, in my opinion. 2. Your heirs won't care a fat rat's behind about how fancy your handgun is. They'll only care that it is something to connect them to you. 3. Who buys a gun to keep it forever? Geez, I'm old enough to not buy green bananas and I don't buy a gun with the intention of owning it for the rest of my life.   Why not upgrade to another 1911, if you really feel a need to, and get something to make it really unique, like Marschal grips with your initials on them? Some fo these grips are really works of art. http://www.marschalgrips.com/hires/hires.html and http://www.marschalgrips.com/   If I had a spare $3895 to spend on a 1911, I'd buy a good 1911 and use the cash left over to buy a 15 year-old Harley Davidson Sportster for a holster. :rofl:

You guys are too rich for my blood. IMHO there is nothing like a hand smithed RIA Govt with adjustable sights and tigger.   Buy the gun for $300-350. Stick another $50 in it and you're in business.  And you will have money left over for ammo.   Lp

1. Chuck Norris.   I don't need anything else.

But if you have other valid forms of ID, ones that are specifically listed by the TSA as valid, why care that they don't accept a form of ID that isn't listed as valid and is subject to interpretation by a brain dead TSA employee? That's like getting mad at them for not knowing whether a tomato is a fruit or vegetable... or mineral. Try to manage your expectations when dealing with those folks. They aren't known for their above average intelligence ya know.

Better yet...just stop this thread. We all know ammo is in short supply, hard to find unless you spend hours of time and gallons of fuel searching, and no amount of bitching about it is going to change it.   Rant off. I feel better now.   Besides, I just bought a box of Golden Sabre230 HP at normal retail. And not at Walmart! 

  Can you imagine if everyone really did have a 'climax control'?  Hell, I might never leave the house!

  C'mon, everybody knows that anyone who didn't vote for BHO was a racist.   And anyone who won't vote for Hildebeest is a sexist.   - OS

for folks so upset over the people going in earlt just go before them if you dont want something dont buy it like others have said its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it

Keep your self to your self..................karma is a bitch.   I think Adults handle things like adults............I don't like the resellers and flippers myself but how old are you?   I seen people get a good old fashion Alabama a$$ whipping for less.       When Obama or some other commie leader  makes gun ownership illegal every one who thinks you screwed them is going to turn you in over some imagery insult or slight!

Because everyone loves a happy ending.

From their website, last updated in December 2012. Seems odd that the HCP isn't acceptable since you had to undergo vetting for it to be issued and the requirements are more stringent than those for a driver's license. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids

Obama's past is filled with the most active radical haters of free America and Marxist worshipers of the past 60 or 70 years.  Many were teaching in our universities, including convicted bomber Bill Ayers. Even his preacher was a hater of America. Some of them are dead now. Obama is said to be a smart man, but I don't think he's smart enough to orchestrate all of the methods he's used to undermine our freedoms and of life in America. He's had a lot of guidance and help.  I have been wondering for a while now, who is pulling his strings.....or what organization is guiding him toward their goals.  I kinda think that information is tucked away with his college records and how he was able to pay for that Harvard education even though he'd never held a job.

no mail Raoul. I understand the OP's buddy though. The ammo things is very discouraging. And the fact that no one can get 22's is the biggest shame. What good is it to buy a rifle you can't go and shoot?

  "I actually caught the ball" is quite accurately descriptive, if one would generally not expect or be expected to catch it.   Same as saying, "against all the odds, I caught the ball", in fewer words.   Like me saying, "I actually busted 5 clays in a row". ;)   - OS

You are on thin ice there young man ! :rofl:

On May 4, 2013 MCTS will host an Introduction to Competitive Shooting Match. This match is geared towards exposing you to the various disciplines we shoot at our range. We did a similar match on Feb. 2 that snowed quite a bit so we decided to try it again.   We will make every reasonable accommodation for new--safe shooters. Please ask in this thread or PM Hognut, Lagerhead, GSBell, Catseye, rbrooks65, or 9mmNorma if you have any questions or concerns.   The match course descriptions will be posted on the website soon. It consists of two "Run-n-Gun"(USPSA)style, two IDPA, one GSSF(Glock Match), one Speed Steel(Steel Challenge) and one all steel stage.

Ladies and gentlemen, I purchased my 1st rifle precision bolt gun weeks ago and she is finally complete (with the exception of a new trigger and suppressor). I had the opportunity of putting her through her paces over the weekend and what a delight she was! Without further ado, my new rifle. Remington Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD .308 Winchester Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 - .1 Mil-Radian - Mil-Dot. Accuracy International (AICS) Fixed Stock in Dark Earth (Many a thanks to SigKev for the sale this morning!) Harris Bipod BRM-S 6-9"

I'm just down the road but i'm sure it'll be gone before i get there. If you're willing to buy it though i'll meet you wherever and pay you in cash.

Don't let it out of your sight. You might be standing there all night till the clerk shows up though, lol. I hope you score a good deal!

They always say not to loan money -- or stuff -- that you ever expect to see again. . . . .   OP -- Sounds like a spoiled child using you to his own advantage, and not a friend per se.

DUDE! Don't quit now! This is getting interesting!

  This is outstanding news to me. I'm on the other side of the fence. I abhor cursive. It takes me twice as long to read stuff.   We have a member here on TGO who posts using some squiggly cursive-like font...I've LITERALLY never read any of his comments, just because of the font.

  I thought that was mostly associated with Tricky Dick Nixon....    "Make no mistake, I am not a crook."  Perphaps preceded by "Let me be clear."   While we're on such things, I am also very tired of hearing, "at the end of the day...."

I had a P95 and it was very finicky about which ammo it liked or didn't. Hated Remington UMC, American Eagle was fine, Winchester White Box was fair. I did clean and lube the gun meticulously when I got it, put several hundred rounds through it, decided I wanted a CZ after shooting one at the range one day and replaced the P95 with a CZ75 Compact. It eats everything I put on its plate.

I misread the title of this thread. I read "Christie Sits ON Huffington Post..." I thought... Well, that should finish them... Don't forget she is married to the first "black" president.

As of about 30 minutes ago, Knoxville East Town had  380, 45, 9mm, 357 mag, and I think I saw 30-30.  I got the last 2 boxes of .223.  

In my working days as a magazine editor, a "regular" that always showed up in the submitted articles we'd get was utilized. "We will utilize the program this spring." We always edited that one to "We will use the program this spring." Same meaning, less fluff. Write tight is what they teach in editing school.   But with thumb texting the norm, writing "tight" is going from good to bad real quick. And the fact that cursive writing is being taken out of our schools also ... it will only get worse.   Don't forget to and too, I see that a lot on these forums TOO :)

  Yep..that IS the shame of it all.  Too bad the ammo PIMPS that buy up the ammo at regular prices and regular outlets, then sell it at 3 times the price and the ammo WHORES that buy it at those prices don't feel any shame for their "It's all about ME"  attitudes.

Why file charges when you know a jury is going to find him not guilty when the defense raises reasonable doubt? Was he in fear for his life? Likely. There is no victim in this case and no hope of conviction. Who in their right effing mind would press charges?

We want more, we want more!

  Remember, "yaknowwhatimean,vern?"

Guys, remember that most of the time the "news" doesn't really tell you the whole story. There were other reports that said when the manager went out after the robber that the robber pointed a gun at him and that's why he shot (at least that's his story.) Of course the KNS would leave that out because it doesn't help their "guns are evil" motto. It's also quite easy to be shot in the back (I wonder how accurate that is and what's considered "the back") while pointing a gun at someone. Obviously, there wasn't enough evidence that the DA felt like he had a case. It will also show how good our self defense = no civil suite law is.

Yeah, a 37mm is perfectly legal as long as you do not own any offensive type ammunition or a caliber conversion that allows you to shoot offensive type ammunition.

Wow. Some "friend."   I wonder what would happen if he woke up one morning and all the tires/wheels on his car had been removed during the night? I also wonder what this "friend" would think if he saw his own tires in the same pawn shop later that afternoon? Not advocating anything-- just food for thought.

I would be getting double what he pawned it for

Pay very close attention to the front sight block and how it lines up with the rest of the rifle.  A lot of them, especially from Centurty Arms, are canted.  It can be fixed and is usually more of an annoyance than anything, but it's nice to not have the front sight posted adjusted all the way over for the thing to shoot straight.   I would also advise doing some reasearh on values.  Do not pay $1000 for a $500 WASR/10.  A lot of people are taking advantage of the latest panic to jack up AK prices to ridiculous levels.
