1. For those of you who shoot .22LR and might be in the market for a good sale on ammo, RI Red sends along this:<\/p>\n
Remington .22 Long Rifle Ammunition. US Military contract Remington .22LR ammunition 1990s production. Original packaging, 5,000 round case, consisting of ten (10) 500 round bricks made up of ten (10) 50 round boxes each. The 5,000 round case is over packed in a sealed foil barrier for long term storage. This ammunition has a 40 gr., lead round nose projectile and a velocity of approximately 1135 fps., at the muzzle.\u00a0 NLU is 4S22RSURP-5000 and price is $125 + $24.95 S&H per case. Ammo is now available on the CMP E-store<\/a> but will not be available in the CMP Stores for another two weeks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Me, I just picked up 5000 rounds earlier this month; cost me about $50 more than this; same 40 gr. lead round nose style.\u00a0 So it’s a good deal if you want to jump on it.<\/p>\n
For my purposes, I really need to stock up on 7.62×51.\u00a0 Hoping to pick up a thousand rounds.\u00a0 I found a good deal on bulk<\/a>, but I fell a couple hundred dollars short of picking it up during my latest fundraiser.\u00a0 Hoping to purchase it at the beginning of November in advance of the election.\u00a0 Just to be sure.\u00a0 Because, well, zombies<\/em>.<\/p>\n
2. Our old friend Robb Allen who runs the gun blog Sharp as a Marble has a birthday wish in advance of his Oct 15 birthday:\u00a0 Do something nice for others.<\/a>\u00a0 If that sounds a little new-agey to you, too bad. It’s his birthday, and besides — it couldn’t hurt. I plan on taking some extra time for my oldest on Saturday, maybe go shooting or play a game with him.\u00a0 Also?\u00a0 I won’t put my foot in anybody’s ass that day.<\/p>\n
Unless they start it.<\/p>\n
