    Sitting here at the miwall sale...

    Got here 1/2 hour early, went to take a number and got one in the low 300's. There's cars parked up and down the streets as far as you can see. Probably not going to get that case of 9mm I was after but I already drove over an hour to get here so I'll stick it out.

    ? Where?
    TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    William Butler Yeats 1865-1939

        The annual day-before fathers day sale at MilWal in Grass Valley... A tradition and a trial, but worth it!

              Really? I could go through 5k of .22 in a week of range trips.

              maybe 200 - 500 of 9mm per trip - on the high end that would 10 range trips a year.

                  I was pretty disappointed with prices. Their reloads were more than jack Ross plus tax, 223 was on par with anything mail order. Combine that with a huge wait and I was less than enthused.

                    Good to know. Note to self; Skip the gun show in July. Save $ on parking/admission. Save hours of wait time and dealing with crowds. Order ammo online, let it come to me, be happy!

                      Miwall Corp. WAREHOUSE SALE!!

                      Miwall Corp. Annual Warehouse Sale

                      13235 Grass Valley Ave

                      Grass Valley, CA 95945

                      Hours 9-4 SAT 9-3 SUN


                      I went a few years ago (2007?), around 11AM or so, was able to get a parking space less than a hundred yards away (Lucky!). Waited in line half an hour or so to get in the building. About an hour of slow, jammed butt to belly, shuffling crowd to get the items on my list, about an hour in line to check out. Probably saved about a $100 on $500 worth of stuff compared to online. About the same as their gun show sales except wider selection.

                      I'm not willing to wait so much now, life is too short. It's not worth it to me to stand around waiting.

                      I really like shopping online for good deals, cheap or no cost shipping when you can find it. The thrill of the Big Brown Truck of Joy stopping in front of my house and the guy has to get out the hand truck to haul my stuff to the front door.

                        My understanding is that basically they sell out of the Warehouse but the prices are the same as they are at the gun shows.

                            I only waited about an hour before I gave up. I saw alot of ammo coming out of there and I figured after 300 shoppers I probably wouldn't find what I was after (9mm/5.56 of course) I talked to a few people there and they said the prices weren't anything spectacular. I'll stick with online ordering. I wish id seen that flyer earlier though, the .17 hmr looked like a deal and I may have found some 5.7x28 at a reasonable price.

                              9mm reload was $170/1000
                              .40 was $190/1000
                              .223 brass-cased was $140/500
                              Plus 7.375% tax
