A Modest Proposal

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to form a buyer club here where we could list out the ammo we want, and then whenever someone stumbles in at the right time to the store and spots some product...snag it up for the other guy. Then meet up at some point later to exchange the product for the cash?

 

Do you think this is workable?

 

For example, if Dicks in Woodbridge has 2lr, I would love a brick or two, but I can't get up to Woodbridge at the drop of a hat. If I were to try after work, I might find myself driving an hour for nothing if they sold out already.

 

Not sure if the concept is too much hassle - eventual meetup or mail, but I'm just thinking aloud.

Problem is most stores have limits at like 1 or 2 boxes per customer.

 

Very true, but if someone needed 357 and couldn't find it locally, and I wander into the LGS and they happen to have a box or two, I don't have any use for that round, but I can certainly pick up boxes up to the limit. Some is better than none.

 

Logistics might be an issue, but even forum members living in the same town could happen across something by chance at 9am whereas the other member shows up at 7pm and it is all gone (same store).

 

I'll call it a live alternative to gunbot, but at better prices (hopefully)

 

I know it requires some trust on the part of the members, so maybe restricted only to forum contributors or some such, and then a repository for what you need and what is your max price. If I see something that fits your criteria, I can pick it up and vice versa.

 

Just a thought since many of us are within driving distance and have different schedules.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      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

      Softer Holster

      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.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      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.
