I started looking around for those. Damn it man, you don't even have the gun for it yet.
He had like three ARs, but the smart boy sold them all during the Post-Connecticut madness. Can't blame him. People still call me stupid for hanging onto my AR.
That's along the line I was thinking. Thanks for the testimony! 👍
That is excellent news. 👍
Before the shortage, general prices around here were $18 ~ $25 for a brick(500~525, of course). What's your pricing in your area before & after? Do you think I'll start seeing $18~$25 again, or do you think that's a long shot?
Bolt-action might be cool too, although I still recommend the 10/22.

@ Brett
They are not an overly expensive rifle to purchase. I've seen them for under $300 brand spanking new ... $150 used, at gun shows. The Target is a sweet looking piece, or are you into the Tactical look such as the Carbine and the Tactical ? Mount a scope on one and you've got an excellent 200 yarder. 👍
Have you looked at these ?

Now that's what I call a deal.
a6m5 .... bricks of 22LR are hovering in the high $20's to low $40's around here.
(manufacture pending of course, weekly sales, dealer pricing, yadda yadda yadda, how much can they get out of you ...... 'ya know ...... pricks) There is no reason on this planet why 22LR is so pricey .....
NONE !!!!!

I started looking around for those. Damn it man, you don't even have the gun for it yet.
I have also been buying 5.56x45mm in anticipation of buying a rifle in that.
While still picking up 9mm when it is available.I would not even know where to begin when it came to a .22LR bolt-action
I have. Slightly leaning towards the Carbine.

How many rounds are in a brick?

I still got thousands, because I haven't shot much lately. 
How much were they before the shortage? Like I said, in Oregon, we are used to the pricing of the Remington bricks going for around $20. Were they ever that low where you are?
Last time I shot my Ruger SR22(.22 pistol), I started suspecting it doesn't like Federal I was feeding it. I just now thought maybe I should sell them, but my rifle eats them up no problem. It'd probably feed even more reliably in Oklahoma...... I'm just saying......
*cough*tax free*cough*
While those prices are doable(like we have a choice), they are high.a6m5 .... bricks of 22LR are hovering in the high $20's to low $40's around here.

Well, if the current shortage proved anything, ammo can be a pretty smart & accessible investment.I have also been buying 5.56x45mm in anticipation of buying a rifle in that.
*cough*tax free*cough*Me neither, but I bet it'd be so much fun. My coworker has a Marlin, I think.

Same ... basically. I can remember getting this stuff for around $10-$15 (on sale), before all the BS anti gun crap started.
How about 9mm ? Where are you guys at on this stuff ? We are @ $15-$20 p/box (again, stipulations pending) Seen it as high as $40 and $50 p/box as well.
7.62x39 is dirt cheap ..... $6.99 p/box ...... no limits either. We just purchased a 700 rd. box of Tulammo for $175 (split the cost
). My kid and I stocked the living hell out of this stuff. We're up to around 3000 rds. and still growing.

Ouch!Let me know how much the shipping is and I will reimburse you for the shipping cost.
Most of my .22LR, because I shop around, I was getting them for $15(black friday) to $18(membership store).
Damn it. I guess we may be able to start buying soon, but would be paying a lot more.
Rest of the stuff, I've only looked at Walmart stock. 9mm is none existent. I've seen AK rounds couple of times, but they were Tula, and because it's Walmart, I think they were what? $5, $6 there? It was just slightly up from before.How about 9mm ? Where are you guys at on this stuff ? We are @ $15-$20 p/box (again, stipulations pending) Seen it as high as $40 and $50 p/box as well.

Prices were steadily rising on everything from 12-gauge to handgun rounds in my area, even before it all started. I think only .22LR were still cheap around here, then crap hit the fan. I think handgun rounds are the first to disappear & still the hardest to find. .223/5.56 I think is still highly coveted.
I just hope we all start stocking up, so people stop clearing out the shelves at the store once the supply run low. I do have friends who go buy ammo, like the night before we go shooting, so they were totally screwed.

Yeah, they sort of got us where they want us with the pricing matrix's. I have to say though, it is coming back around to the good side of things ... slowly, but yet thankfully. 9mm is making a big comeback around here. It was brutal for a while, it literally was non existant. Several places around here have lifted the "quantity allowable" thing, while others are still holding to their 1 or 2 - 3 boxes. Kind of weird how some places have no limits, yet others are still being tight with it. The T-County link I provided is stocked up heavy on 9mm, 5.56, .223 and .22LR. This guy has got to be making some serious $$$.$$ .... hand over fist. Shotgun ammo, from what I am seeing is not horribly bad. It too jumped during the "crisis", but now the prices on it are starting to tumble. The skeet shooters are getting happy again
. Oh yeah, every weekend, between my kid, my wife, myself, we go out and buy some ammo. We are not going to get caught with our pants down again like we did on the .22LR stuff .... not gonna happen ! So yeah, stock up like there is no tomorrow, if you can do so.

Awesome new TV series coming soon!
The ammo is coming back around here. And I do not buy from businesses that sell ammo at boosted price. I'd rather wait until it gets on Wal-Mart shelves(rare but worth the money). There is 9mm here, but it is around $18-$24 and 45 is a crazy $26-36 for all target ammo. I remember getting my 45 hollow points for $32 after tax.

I guess it would be too easy with the modern tanks. With the electronics & all......
Old timer at work told me, "buy box of shells every payday". What a smart mother 🤬.
I buy as much as I can when I can. Me, my dad and our hunting buddies bought out the entire supply off the truck before it even hit the shelves.
We only got 13 boxes. That's how little there was on the truck.

Hahaha that is awesome! I've once watched miscellaneous videos of a tank chucking some huge artifacts afar like it launches a missile toward an enemy land, but I've never seen those tanks carrying on a skeet shooting as if sheer gunners do that by hand.

Has anyone here heard about or shot the 2 3/4 12 gauge B&P Thrill Shock slugs?
Just bought a box out of curiosity, the velocity listed on the box is whooping 1650 fps with a 500 grain Slug.
I also gave another stock the last linseed oil treatment, tiger stripe walnut.

I couldn't find it either. Thats how the box looks like:
According to my calculation the slug would create 52 ft/lbs of free recoil energy with 23 fp/s recoil velocity in my shotgun. 308 creates a 12 ft/lbs recoil at 10 fp/s recoil velocity in a 9lbs gun.
Man, cant wait to try them out!

That's beautiful.

What a cool looking piece of crap. So glad I didn't buy one!
I'm a total wimp man, but a very comfortable one. I have recoil reduction stock on my shotgun, and similar pad on my .308.
Used to hate firing 12-gauge, even with standard loads. With the Blackhawk recoil stock, it's just so much fun to shoot 12-Gauge, even with magnum loads. .308 didn't bother me a whole lot, but after firing few boxes worth, I could feel just a tad bit in my shoulder by the end of the day. After installing Magpul pad, now nothing. Like I said, a wimpy shooter, but a very comfortable one.
So glad I didn't buy one!No, 12-Gauge they never ran out. Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, I know my posts can get pretty busy.
Same, which may have given me the wrong impression of ammo availability.
I started thinking about my shoulder as soon as I read this, even before you compared it to .308.
