Ammo at Dick's

Recommended Posts

Well the usual group of "Gun Nuts" showed up today to wipe out the supply of ammo. Scored some 223, 5.56, and 22lr. Nice bunch of guys and a fair amount of laughter!

 

See the brothers next week.

 

Eric, will have an ammo box or two for you next week.

I tried brick store but psycho loser hoarders camp the store and by it all up when they open. Pricks....

Yea, because only hoarders are in need of ammo :rolleyes: .....not everyone waiting is hoarding ammo. I have friends that have waited for dicks to open only to get inside and find that they didn't get their caliber in that delivery.....it's tough times right now.

 

I, on the other hand, have bajillions of rounds.....and I hoard

I got 10 bricks of match ammo right at the start of the panic and have stopped buying. It's enough to get me through any reasonable shortage, and for Christ's sake, you can buy .22 LR in England. A .22 ban is the least realistic of our worries.

 

Once things settle down, I will never again be without 5k .22 and 1k for each caliber/gage I own. And I'm going to start reloading. This dark period has permanently altered my perception of this country and its leaders. I was asleep before, now I'm awake.

Woodbridge claims to get deliveries every Tuesday and Thursday and highly suggest you call ahead to make sure they got your ammo on the sleves. Every time I call or go there, by noon they are either out of stock or never got any in.

For some reason the store in Springfield\Union has not been getting ammo. The manager said that corporate is deciding whether or not to remove the gun department the way it did on route 10. So go the way of the fear mongers.

Another reason for the shortage is the D.H.S. ordered 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo in Feb. Hollow points and all of the other good stuff. The article says that it is enough for many years of war. One interesting fact is that most of it is non Nato rounds. Guess they plan on using it on the US Civilians.

Put the brakes on right there dude. Go research the many conversations had about that already. 1.6 billion is a lot for YOU, but imagine having another 70,000+ of YOU also shooting and qualifying... NATO has nothing to do with it.

The fact that the rounds are NON NATO have everything to do with it. Perhaps you can explain why the DHS needs hollow point rounds for domestic use?

They practice with their carryammo. At that level of orders it costs the same FMJ or HP.

 

For the last time.....procurement contracts run over an extend period of time....and 1.6 billion over a few years doesnt mean they bough the rounds in one lot.

Go look at the various threads about this before rehashing this story over and over again.

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
