SNSTIW, minding my own business at a local shop, and I stumbled into this:
6x 40-round boxes of Wolf 7.62×39, a buncha loose 7.62×39, 1x box of 20 7.62×39, and two Magpul AK mags.
$75 out the door. Put another way, knock off $20 for the mags and the ammo clocks in at around $0.14@. In the current market, that’s, like, eleventy jillion dollars worth of 7.62×39.
Right place, right time. Unlike my usual modus operandi.
Not quite as good a deal but I happened to be near a big box sporting goods store down here and saw a few folks standing in front of the door before they opened. Asked one of them what was up and he said they received an ammo shipment overnight so I joined the quickly growing line.
When the doors opened it was like a Black Friday rush to the ammo section. They had a sign limiting 9mm, .45 ACP and 5.56/.223 to three boxes. It was not clear if they meant three of each or three total so I grabbed three of each. 7.62×39 was not mentioned so 300 rounds went into my basket. All the prices were slightly higher than normal (within 50 cents per box) so, as far as I am concerned, it was a very goo deal!
Take care and God bless.
I think you’re safe to interpret any in-store limitation on purchasing ammo to refer to boxes per caliber unless it specifically states otherwise.
Good on ya, mate.
You lucky so and so. Very nice.
Isn’t most of life’s excitement:
Either being at the right place at the right time or being in the wrong place at the wrong time????
Damn player, you attract some good Karma. Congratulations on your purchase.
