Ammo Finds - Post them here

[Fly5150]

^^^^

I'm goin to your house when the apocalypse comes!

you really don't know where Ridgecrest is... do you...

Ya, never rains there huh? Not sure if you know this or not, but the humidity is at 100% when it rains. No fog in the winter in the desert? Maybe you should invest in some ammo cans, or your kids may not have anything to shoot in the future.

The sky is not falling, Cabelas is still going to sell .22 lr ammo online. It is going to be harder to get now, but we should still be able to get it.

We still have Midway and Gander, some of you act like the .22 lr ammo finds thread is over… sheesh.

Now, I can't even find the rim fire ammo by searching. How do I locate 22lr ammo on their site? I could only find it in the quick cart links before.

If there is no 22 ammo available on their site there will not be a rimfire ammo link on their page, but if you want it here it is.

wow, this sucks. I checked this morning and was excited that 2 bricks are shipped. I have not ordered anything in the past week and hit one of my links and made the discovery that this happened.

I gotta agree with most of what you said. Some people are talking about gathering enough ammo to shoot for many years without needing more (for them and their friends) and others mention their goal to be buying enough ammo to be set for life...seems to me that is exactly why we are having this issue with finding ammo, the ammo manufacturers were never setup to provide a lifetime ammo supply for every generation of 22 shooters at one given time.

When I was a kid we never had a big stock of ammunition, we would just go to the store and pick up what we needed on range day.

Not saying it's bad to have any stock, but a lifetime supply seems a bit much to me

I'm just glad I don't have to read the self proclaimed moderator of this thread's warning regarding cabelas links...for now

[abe2131]

I've been watching the attitudes for the last 24 hours - as people respond to what has occurred.

I find myself shaking my head in amazement...at the dichotomy of predictability...

I see folks posting photos of their rather immense stash and arrive at two possible conclusions:

1. They're in it for themselves...
2. They're in it for others...


I see folks continually trying to attack others with the straw man argument that they're ruining a good thing by not keep information secret and arrive at two possible conclusions:

1. They're in it for themselves and hate supposed monopoly busters...
2. They're in it for others and really do believe that the needy and the charity providers will be hurt by "leaking" the information...


I see folks continually lamenting and whining about the current lack of availability of the feature in question and come to two possible conclusions:

1. They're in it for themselves and treat every ammo find as a zero-sum game to be worked even in the "community".

2. They're in it for others and see the playing field as having been leveled for all.


Unlike others who have attacked me and placed the blame on me repeatedly by name on this thread and others - while I have refused to do the same - I arrive at two possible conclusions:

1. Some of us here need to work on "class".
2. Some of us here are doing quite alright when it comes to "class".


I will say this in wrapping up:

I'm proud to have acquired and delivered 9688 rounds of .22LR to charitable shooting programs here in the Bay Area. I'm proud to have delivered 1200 rounds of 9mm to an instructor who does the same at-cost.

And I still have 1333 rounds of .22LR awaiting the next charitable organization that requests it.

Is ammo finds over? Not by a long shot!

=8-)

Why don't you get off your high horse and start helping us find some ammo. After all, we don't want the orphanages in the bay area to run out do we?

When I was a kid the right to keep and bear arms was not in question. A $.05 per round tax per round of ammo would have an been extraordinarily outrageous thought. When I was a kid America was solidy on the right and Jimmy Carter was considered far left. Today America is stumbling hard to the left and has a leftist/socialist in the whitehouse that would grab every gun and every round of ammo from my home if the political winds allowed it.
You are correct, the manufacturers didn't have a contingency plan for the ammo famine.
Consider this (.22, 9mm, 5.56/.223, 7.62x39 etc etc etc) ammo grab preparation for the tough times that are ahead.
All you guys that are buying stuff to shoot with your kids need to realize that when they are your age the America we are living in now, will be very very dead.
Teach them to shoot, AND make preparing the most economical and utilitarian collection of firearms and ammunition a priority.
Everybody needs to deal with the fact that while .22 ammo is great for letting Jr. dink a few beer cans, ammo is cash, probably better than gold/silver in a real crisis.
If you have kids that you want to pass shooting onto, a lifetime supply is not enough.
Sacrifice and only shoot when your kids can go with you so your inventory builds.
Don't just use them for an excuse to by guns/ammo, make them THE reason.
A storms a comin' people, hunker down.

Well part of the reason I stocked up was because when I started to shoot rimfire last year I couldn't walk into my local wallyworld and buy a brick, they were always OOS when i went. having a 830-530 job meant i couldn't camp out in the morning. Also I refuse to over pay at my LGS or support flippers.

Lastly I have friends that live in restricted cities so I've been helping them buy as well.

I'll still be here anyways. when I dip below my buffer I'll restock my supply or if friends need some.

I started a secret Facebook group back on February 13, 2014 called "The Ammo Stash". It is invisible and you can't find it by searching for it. There are only 13 of us there and 3 or 4 are from CG.

I probably have the best information available about what goes on in the FB groups and if you go back to page 4 or 5 of the OT thread you'll see me talking about what I was finding, but not how I knew.

We fanned out through the groups and reported back what was going on and then posted disinformation and about died laughing when the cart bombs showed up.

Anyway, I made individual links and never seen one, not one go out into the groups. Some of the guys are from the groups that the gougers were giving a hard time and just couldn't get ammo, so I contacted them and let them in, but I didn't give out all of the info about how exactly it worked or where it came from. I did tell them it wasn't me but rather a lot of guys who work hard to see ammo first and get some and share their links.

Most of them have jobs and couldn't monitor so it was an easy way to notify them and they still missed it if they couldn't slip off into the bathroom or something, so some still don't have but 1000-1500 or so.

I quit buying two weeks ago as did a couple of others who were in on it when there was just 4 of us. I don't know exactly why C shut down the links but I do know exactly where the links went that were posted on CG!

First they hit SW, then the Survival board and it was usually 10-20 minutes before they hit a FB group but sometimes it was there before I knew about it.

I checked a lot and seen it first a few times and posted to CG and my guys at the same time. On Bucket/crash day 3/3, me and the first guy I told are the only ones who got a bucket because he was good help with checking stock.

He is a member here but I don't know which one. He might not ever talk but I know he reads it. One day I was laughing about something someone said and told him I hoped it wasn't him and that I didn't offend him.

Anyway, it was about two or three weeks after we started watching that links showed up in FB groups. Just thought I'd let you guys know, we were the super secret covert arm of CG, so secret CG didn't even know.

Say what?

I don't know what's going to happen... I'm going to buy all I can, spread it around so my kids can shoot and share so my buddy's can take their kids out.

It's not the end of the world... It's just .22 I find the people getting all butt hurt about it pretty funny! We all know who's been here and who's been helping out...


Cabela's will be back in some form or fashion.

I was happy my local Wally's went back to ONE bulk box per person today. There was was two cases of 10 so everybody got a box! (there were 15 of us there!)

It's a good day! Off to the range

[abe2131]

I don't shoot 22 so much myself. Maybe could use up 2 or 3 bricks a year. But I'm buying more than I can use for my grandkids. They're not old enough yet to start shooting but I agree with shorthair's comments about the future of our country. And then there's the thrill of the hunt!....
