Why is ammo so expensive locally
went to brick armory this evening to try out my new (to me) kimber and was pleasantly surprised to see they had federal hst .45 jhp on sale for $24.50/box. that is cheaper than anywhere online even after the tax (that i can find) thinking of going back tomorrow to get a couple more boxes... i know that this is the exception and not the norm, but the good deals are out there at the mom and pop shops... on a completely unrelated note, it is now difficult for me to shoot my xd bc the trigger is such a piece of sh*t in comparison lol

Why is ammo so expensive locally
If the local business can afford to invest a large sum into buying the ammo (or anything else for that matter) up front, then yes they probably can get it in at the same price as sgammo or similar retailer. I think where the issue comes in is not alot of small businesses can afford to invest as much as it takes to get the bulk dealer pricing (in sgammo's case it looks like they have 1 million + wrapped up in inventory). When you are only buying by the case or even a few cases at a time there is no way to compete. We run into a similar scenario with my families store with many products, and we have had to shift our store assortment to things people can't/don't want to buy online. It's great to be able to find products online dirt cheap, and we all benefit from it to a degree, but don't assume that the local store selling a box of ammo for $17 is making a huge profit off of it, bc likely they are not.

AR stripped lowers at Shore Shot?
What I was gona do if I kept that upper was get a psa lower and a moe build kit from them. Comes w/ everything you need. Complete lower will come to $285 after transfer and nics. You would have to get the stock pinned though. Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2

AR stripped lowers at Shore Shot?
If you are willing to piece it together yourself you should be able to put together a noveske lower for under $450 otd. I got a gen 2 chainsaw lower and it just had one small dimple on it. Tier one has them for 209 w/ free shipping. After an ace stock and spikes enhanced lpk I was still under $500 otd. If you get a normal lpk ur right at $400. I think iirc shore shot wanted 185 for a gen 1. Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2

Need AR sight recommendations
i looked thru the wts forum on ar15 and after a couple weeks got a lightly used set of troy folding sights for $100 shipped. from reviews they seemed to be good quality and the set for sale was what i was looking for (dioptic rear and hk style front). i can tell you they are super solid and have held zero thru about 300 rds.

Pistol Permits Toms River
Not really sure if this is the correct forum or not for this, just wanted to give a shout out to my local PD (don't hear that too often anymore lol) for processing my pistol permits quickly. In the past I had applied for permits and they took up to 3 months to process. I dropped off the application on 9/17 and just got a call that they are ready to pick up. 3 week turnaround time was unexpected but certainly appreciated. Hadn't anticipated getting them back so quickly, now I have to try to find the $ to purchase what I'm looking for!

25% off at Sports Authority - who needs a gun safe?
The mgr at the one on rt 70 in brick did. A few months ago (last time the SA 25% coupon was out) I got the stack-on 18 gun cabinet for $127.50. Used the 25% coupon plus the 15% floor model discount. I was pinching myself putting it in the back of the car. Also got the dicks points that got me over the threshold I needed to get the $10 voucher. They take the vouchers on ammo there too! You might have to show them that sports authority sells the stack-on cabinet (they did at the time on their website). I showed him on my phone and I was good to go.
