.50 BMG Primers In So. CA Area???

[m2hbvic]

Does anyone know of any distributors and/or gunshops in the So. CA area that stock .50 BMG primers??? Anywhere from Bakersfield down to San Diego???

A friend of mine is having a campout in less than 2 weeks and he needs to load 500 to 1,000 rounds of .50 BMG ammo, for a local group of Young Marines and his sons Boy Scout troop, so that they can all have a chance to fire a semi-auto belt-fed M2HB.

He ordered some primers by mail order but he thinks they might not get here in time to load up all that ammo by the time of the campout. Anyone got any leads?
THANKS,
Vic

Give em a call on Monday. That's where I picked up some CCI primers for the 50 BMG about 4 months back.

I believe this is their sister store:

THANKS to everyone for your help! Between what I'm getting at one of the local gun shops and what one of the members is loaning me, my friend should have enough ammo for all the Young Marines and Boy Scouts to get a chance to fire the M2HB at the campout. He was hoping for about 10 rounds for each kid, but then he thought it might be 1 round for each kid, and then it was looking like they might only get to watch the M2HB being fired because of the lack of primers/ammo. But thanks to all you guys it looks like all the kids will be able to have a chance at the original 10 rounds each.

Thanks guys for all your generosity!
