Misc Firearms Crew LXXVII: Locked (Down) and Loaded

[Farley1324]

Wow. Chit was less than half that a year ago. I think it was $270 at Target Sports during normal times.

I paid $5.14 per box of 20, shipped, no tax, from Target Sports for Wolf Gold, during the buying times.

$257 per 1k (25.7 CPR) total cost to door

To buy more from sgammo right now would legitimately be more than triple the price

That actually sounds about right. Ahh the good old days.

You think it’s going to make sense to even renew the Prime membership? I probably will anyway, but if ammo,prices are this crazy I don’t know how frequently I’ll be buying.

I would not renew a Prime Ammo membership between now and after Trump wins

Mine is the end of November. So, I guess I’ll know then. Lol.

Not my first year

The concealed carry insurance thing I carry is doing a free online seminar by Active Self Protection. That’s cool...

[Brozef]

I'm done looking for deals on 5.56/.223 and I never seem to be able to snag any from bass pro when it's in stock for a millisecond.

Time to switch to buying x39 before it's also 3x the price it was in the spring...

Trump is polling better now than he was at this point in 2016.

I don't put a lot of faith in electoral polls after the 2016 election.

With that said, now is the time to stock up on things like magazines and spare parts.

Here's his campaign promises:

-Hold gun manufacturers accountable.
-Ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
-Regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.
-Buy back the assault weapons and high-capacity magazines already in our communities
-Reduce stockpiling of weapons
-Close the “hate crime loophole.”
-End the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.

there is only one way biden will win, which is through voter fraud.

of course that is entirely possible but i think its unlikely.

Midway has the 77 grain IMI razorcore stuff for ~90 cpr. Not an amazing deal per se, but good ammo and not marked up as much as cheaper blasting ammo.

Mine ended in like March or April...perfect timing. Kinda sad to eject and not support such a good company on one hand, but on the other hand, it's like taking a membership fee and lighting it on fire.

That's actually a fantastic deal considering it's a 'clone' of the mk262 that was going for $1-1.15 per round previously and, well, current times

Oh, what sad times for ammo buying



I suspect target sports' bottom line between now and election will be okay without new or renewed Prime memberships coming in

Yeah agreed, had to go for it - it's limited to 500 rds / person. Go git it boys: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2090124928?pid=546028

[itsnotjon]

Depending on where you're at in PHX metro (I can't remember), start shooting matches at RSSC... that is assuming you have the ammo for about 150rds/match rip in pieces

https://rsscaz.com/divisions/practical-pistol

Tuesday Night Steel is very good entry level match.

https://rsscaz.com/divisions/tns

If you're not already a rated D or above class in USPSA, you have to take a safety course first:

https://rsscaz.com/divisions/practical-pistol/pssc

I'll be moving back to the PHX area in a few months then we can go shoot some matches, or we can just go LARP train with airsoft

I'm down, only been here a week so I don't know the area yet. (glendale

Buy backs are some dumb lmao here take this $100 giftcard for your $1500/2000 rifle


**** off


I'm glad I've been stocking up on parts and ammo, it's about to be nasty out here if Biden weasels his way in

[Farley1324]

Here I thought you were going to say they were dumb because you can't buy back something you never owned or had claim to in the first place.

And of course the point of a buyback is to then make it mandatory aka confiscation

[4ea]

Hillary won the majority

so they say, but what would the majority look like if they excluded illegal aliens, legally dead people and people who voted multiple times?

We'll never know. But, just look around...lots of people do and will vote commie

I'm going to try and find out if the code to sign in is unique and a one time use, or if it's a generic one they sent out to everyone. If it can be used by more than one person, want me to PM it to you?

It is a live seminar about "Riot Survival". Looks like you can buy it on their site for $20, but this would be free obviously.
Next Thursday August 20 from 8:10PM EST to 11:00PM.

Have you seen the guns that actually get turned in? Occasionally they rob some poor old lady out of a bad ass relic, but most look like rusted, broken, starter pistols.

Saw one video, a guy brought his guns in and they offered him pennies compared to what his ARs were worth ($500 or so), so he stripped them and turned in the lowers claiming that was legally the 'gun' part, and sold the parts separately.

lmao. There was one I saw where someone just made a bunch of "guns". He took a few pieces of wood to make the general shape of a gun. Put a metal tube to look like a barrel. There was no way the things functioned at all. lol. Probably made it with scrap stuff he had in his garage.


Like this shotgun sort of:

Oof, had mine go out last Nov. Sucks when it happens, but they are easy to replace.

Just go out or water damage?

[Farley1324]

Don't worry, they'll pass laws that make it a serious crime to defraud the buy back and will also pass control laws regarding the possession, sale, transfer, etc, of parts and accessories...without defining parts and accessories...so at first you won't be able to order anything online...then only parts from an FFL like ammo in CA is now...then not at all

As far as I can tell, it just went out. We’ve had 12 good years with it.

I wonder how well that would go, at what point do enough people say 'Fck you' and the police just wont even enforce it; there has to be a tipping point. They can only trash the constitution so much before even normal people wont take it.

Based on some state experiences, we never reach that point.

You don't get the point that normal people won't take it until you look like Hong Kong and the best you have left is the college archery team's two bows
