.22 LR newbie - Give me a chance veteran hoarders!

[USMC VET]

I agree. I've already GIVEN thousands of rounds to new shooters since the current shortage started. However, the OP came here pointing fingers instead of asking for help. His attitude towards those who could have helped him is partially to blame for his current predicament.

Fair enough sir, I appreciate your generosity. We need all the people shooting we can get. I'm a believer in popularity drives support and while it's painful at first it'll be good in the end.

[Deuce.]

lol, can someone please give me some ammo too. Would love to get special treatment since I'm new and all.

[2nd Shot]

I'm a firm believer in the free market and being ready before the SHTF, and that the prepared aren't required to help the unprepared.

I have no problem at all with people buying to stock up when it shows up at a good price (Wal-Mart, etc). Not everybody has been around long enough (no offense to the old dogs here) to buy the guns they need and build up their ammo cache.

I don't even need the ammo but I do have a big problem with people fist fighting in the parking lot at 5:30 for that first spot in line so they can buy everything for the SOLE PURPOSE of depleting the supply and turning it back around for sale at ridiculous prices. Get a real job, scumbag. I'd rather see the ammo go to first timer n00bs (which we desperately need) rather than some sleazy guy just looking to make a quick buck that may not even be a gun guy. They could even be card carrying Brady members for all you know. Need it for yourself? Fine.

But hey, it's all about me, me, me. Money first! We don't need to stick together when our rights are up on the butchers block. We don't need to get new members to join our ranks in these times. Nope, there's money to be made, and people like you to snatch it out from under! Capitalism baby, everything is for sale, even your brothers or your rights for the right price! Woo-Hoo! $$$$$$$$$

So when someone doesn't want to sell products to someone else for prices under the current market, that's bad and it's all about "me, me, me"...

But when someone wants to buy products from people for prices under the current market prices it's not bad and isn't about "me, me, me"?

Someone is selling CCI Stingers in the marketplace here.

I've always wanted a Ruger 10/22 to go with my SKS and finally put one in jail at Turner's. I also stocked up on 10/22 mags at Turner's.

Now all I need is... .22LR AMMOS! Mother of pearls it is near impossible to get a stash. I will be glued to Calguns to get a Federal Ammo Can of .22lr at a decent price.

Hoarders and flippers, give this newbie a chance.

You are in the same place as nearly every other .22lr shooter, looking for ammo. Try posting in this forum: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/f...play.php?f=106

Perhaps someone may help you out. Scour the internet for companies that sell ammo and get on their email notification list and be quick when you get notified.

You probably won't get much attention when appealing to folks by using terms such as Hoarder or Flipper. The only folks who are not hoarders are those that don't have any ammo. Don't blame others for having foresight and being prepared. (I don't like and will not deal with Flippers as it just prolongs the panic pricing) This shortage will blow over eventually and most likely all ammo costs will increase even when it does.

Include your location when asking to purchase something, might help.

Just keep looking for it , there is some to find.

I have been trying to get enough together for a 4H training day , hard enough getting permission from "Soccer Mom's" to let the kids learn.Got more girls than boys signed up.

Been working for a month and even got a few of the Mom's wanting to learn safety and how to shoot. just because of what's been in the news.

So keep on searching , you'll find some soon.

[Jeepers]

what "shortage" i walked into walmart , asked if they had a box of .40 and bulk .22 and bought one of each at much less then being sold here on CalGuns

guess i should have bought the limit and sold them for 3 times the price here

OP remember to ask if you goto wallyworld as my local is not stocking their display , but do have some ammo under the counter and dont buy more then you need that is what is driving this BS "shortage"....

[oddball]

"Veteran Hoarders" are not the reason for the shortage of .22LR.

"Veteran hoarders" bought their cases of .22LR (and all other calibers) years ago. I added one more case of CCI Mini Mags to my inventory, the day of the Sandy Hook shooting because I knew, and that was the day I sprung my Mark III Competition out of jail. We are also the same ones who stocked up on primers, powder, and bullets before 2012.

We are not the ones purchasing ammo at 3-6 times the price.

[tanakasan]

"Veteran Hoarders?!?"

Just that some of us started acquiring guns and ammo long ago. Its not about a mad rush to hoard, just foresight (or dumb luck in my case!) and a slow and steady collecting of assets over the years.

First 10/22?! That should be one of the first to get! They've been made since the sixties, ya know.

G/L in your ammo hunt. What's your location? Maybe a CGN'r will donate some to the cause. I have given ammo to locals.

The offer has already been made.

Trextracker-
If you can provide me with copies of the emails you have sent to politicians in the past three months on all of the new proposed gun ban legislation, I will send you 150 rounds for the cost of postage.

In other words- if you can show me how you have been supporting the cause, I will give you some ammo.

Sorry folks- offer to OP only.

PM me

I bet he did not

[audiophil2]

OP you missed out by a month. I sold 30,000 rounds of .22lr at pre-panic prices in this sub forum.

[cboberg]

Gunbot dude... It takes some time but if you really work at it you can find what you want

[mark]

I have not had any problems getting ammo. I won't pay over 5-6 cents a round and I get ammo every week. It's a lot of work but deals are there. Stop looking at calguns and start hunting. Don't pay more than 5 cents a round.

[Eljay]

You know about this thread, right? http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=676306

There have been quite a few decent deals posted in there recently at reasonable prices.
