I ordered 2 boxes of 2100 and two $6.99 shirts for the girlfriend. $153.XX total. BTW, another plus for Cabela's - they usually have some womens clothes on sale along with their ammo sales. Instead of getting the stink-eye from the GF when the ORM-D stickered box arrives, it's smiles all around.

If your order is >$150, shipping is free.

Depends entirely on the packaging, but 1,000 rounds of 9mm ammo ain't that big at all. Two examples of 1,000 rounds of 9mm: - 20 boxes of 50 rounds, ~12 3/4" X 9 3/4" X 2 1/2" - 4 boxes of 250 rounds, ~9 1/2" X 6 1/2" X 4 3/4" If you stored them loose, 1K rounds would *easily* fit in a .50 cal ammo can with space left over.

Here's the math as I calculated it: Cabelas (assuming free shipping) - $69.99 / 2100 rounds ~= 3.3 cents / round Wal Mart in PA - $19.92 ($18.79 + 6% Tax) / 525 rounds ~= 3.8 cents /round Factor in the free ammo box and having it delivered to your door instead of driving to PA and it's a no brainer. I also estimate about $25 in psychological damage saved in not having to see the mustache again on the woman who usually runs the ammo counter at East Stroudsburg...

Can't resist: Best wishes for future health and happiness to you both!

This is the ammo that GSG5's eat like candy at a better price per round than the 525 bulk packs at Wal Mart: http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=735145 Here is a new Free Shipping code "2WFREE" Expires 03/24/2011 for those who missed out.... Have Fun!

Besides the Centurion, there's another "buck 'n ball" out there, the Winchester PDX 12. I have some but haven't shot it yet. I did poke fun at the marketing: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/21019-just-got-some-magic-shotty-ammo/ Video of it in action: There's also a relatively new series of "expanding" slugs out there (no experience with them, nor have I read anything):

Thanks for that reply Parker, fascinating "real world" results from slugs. They are amazingly powerful rounds at short distances. Wow.

Point still stands - if you're worried about how many walls the rounds are going to go through, you're safer with 00 buck than slugs.

That "trash bag camo" is brilliant!

Got some of those - I consider them "magnums". They kick like a mule - highly suggest you try them out on the range before loading them up for HD.

Not a big fan of slugs for indoors, they penetrate a lot of sheet rock: http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot3_2.htm However, I keep a couple of slugs in the external shell holders on my shotty. I can think of some situations where you would want them: - Baddie is wearing body armor, and you want to either stun him with an armor hit, or take him down with a pelvic hit. - You want to make a "long distance" (in shotgun terms) shot.

Thanks for looking. I have found a place with 9" rails in stock, may get one of those instead.

Something else to consider is that there are some rail systems which "snap-in" to a standard delta ring and can replace standard hand guards, like the Daniel Defense Omega rails.

Sweet Jeebus, that thing needs a forward grip!

Emailed, hope it helps. I'm assuming I do not have to provide my SSN even though the form asks for it.

Bob, PM'ing you, I have one I just received today, scanned/names redacted and ready to email.

Ok, guess I'm going to have to go through my ~2K 9mm rounds of this stuff. Is there a spec for min/max overall round length so I can set up a pair of calipers and quickly gauge any outliers?

Donated.

Just give the rounds a pinch test. If they crumble, don't use them.

Hope you have better luck with them than I did. Bought 2 of those Korean mags over a year ago and I won't even consider them for range use. Did not feed smoothly or consistently (seemed like every round in the stack would come up at a different angle and with different spring force) and would not lock the slide open when empty.

Thanks for the effort D-Dog, yeah they're apparently sold out everywhere. Was just hoping there was a retailer I missed that someone else might know of.

Been trying to find a 12" Spike's tactical BAR rail in stock for a new AR build without any luck. Any leads to a retailer with them *in stock* (not backordered) appreciated.

Either that, or the Engineer's brother in law owns the machine shop that supplies all those linkages...

Wow, that mechanism looks Rube-Goldberg-esque. Didn't I see that in the game mousetrap? Anyway, good luck with it. I've liked the Rhinos since I first saw them. Is the hammer easy to cock? The small tang on it makes me wonder.
