Head to scheels in lincoln, i was down there the other day and they are price matching WallyWorld on WWB 9mm, $23/box of 100.  shelves were getting light though, so hurry.
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

Stopped by my FFL today, he related several anecdotes that confirm 'the spree' is indeed in full swing. He had a long list of guns he's trying to locate for people but are back-ordered everywhere. The distributors he deals with told him it's wild and they expect it to get wilder. 

Do what you will with that info. I expected this to happen but not until summertime. I figured I had a few mos before things picked up. Gonna be a crazy year.

What are primer prices at Scheels? I remember going there once and they were right at $37 - same as Cabelas. Guns Unlimited is $28 to $30 depending on what you get.

The questions is:

Even with the current hysteria, when is enough, enough?

50,000 rounds of 7.62

50,000 rounds 2.23

60,000 rounds 9mm

20,000 rounds .45

15,000 rounds .38

30,000 rounds .40

10,000 rounds .357

90,000 rounds .22

10,000+ 12 gauge

Plus other miscellaneous +/- 60,000 rounds odds and ends.


I dont know about you guys, but for me, its a little hard to get all excited about going out and "stocking up"...

p.s. - I know, I know.  Im a little light on .45, huh?

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.  I carry a lot of ammo because I cant run very fast.

Just got back from Scheels in Omaha.
-No small pistol primers will have to use small magnums which work fine

The used gun case is nearly empty.
A huge line to checkout at the gun counter.
New gun case is full but a lot of the models they had last week are gone.  Some of the models only have the case model left.

This freaked me out a bit so I went ahead and got my 92fs I have been wanting as a full size 9mm.  30 days from now either they will be out of stock or 30% higher  :(
Picked up an lb of bullseye too.

I went to Scheels in Lincoln last Thursday and their handgun cases were looking pretty bare.  They were almost cleaned out of S&W pistols, and the 1911 case was looking pretty empty.  They had a crapton of hunting rifles, though.

trying to find a 1911 right now is rediculous.  I've got the LC9 for sale in hopes of trading it out on a 1911.

Dan will you post 66bigblock's IP address when the world goes down the crapper?  Sounds like he has enough in reserve if the rest of us run out.   :)

I can give it to you if you want.  It should show that I am located in a small fishing village in Norway and I only visit websites having to do with Atlantic Cod and warm fishing boots...

This past Friday I believe was when it went down for almost an entire day. Glad I started a layaway for my model 500 in late January, since then it has been out of stock for almost a month and when it comes back in stock it is $60-$80 more than I paid. Surprisingly they haven't run out of stock on Glocks, put one of those on layaway last week. Galleryofguns has about every Glock allocated, Acher Arms could only get a couple Gen 3s from them.

Meh, I'm good.  It's never enough but I'm good.
