Afghanistan

[Gilligan]

Im not a big shooter of it, now my kid is different. He bought a crate plus of hex Mosins (like 89.00 each) in early HS and he has 8-9 double tuna wood crates in the shop from when it was about 110 bucks a can. Hes looking like a worst horder that his dad.. Cases just show up on the UPS truck..

I wish I had your problem. My #2 son has a Mosin and an AR. He's a crack shot with iron sights...always has been since he was a kid. However..and here's the part I envy you....he's always felt quite free to visit our armory area and grab up a few hundred rounds to go play with anytime he feels like it.

Hoard ammo short range and long range and be safe

I don't have anything that fires russian surp but back when it was cheap, I bought plenty of food for the Garand, to include Spam-Can bandolier and 480 rounds of match that i got from someone who inherited it.

Yep.. My gfather and father shot high power and bulleye pistol, i have crates of stuff that they and I bought through CMP and me from Amherst Arms long ago.......buckets of 06 match 172 bullets, 30 cal AP bullets, 45 and 06 brass stuff i have never gone through yet.. Ughhhhhh..

I got one like that too.

Thinking of hiding mouse traps in all the cans.

Lol.. I do feel your pain... Ive gone looking for high end LR ammo (200.00 a brick Eley)and mine would get a blank look....
Ive opened Vintage boxes of pistol ammo that were full and then found empty..
I will say he never complained about pulling press handles when he was little.
I miss that stuff... Come home safe son...

Long ago I bought a million 147 dual cannelure 30 cal pulles from Talon in WV for a penny each delivered. I sold half to a reseller in KY over the next few months for 4 cents each.
I have sold more to a commercial loader out here during the last two shortages for 16 cents a piece.
We used to buy powder from Talon in 8-32 lb'ers for 2-3 bucks a pound cash on his loading dock.

I got cought without 22lr a few years back... When it dropped in price I packed it deep..
In big green cans and stacked on pallet racking...

 

[Kyle]

I stocked up on 22 when it came back down a few years ago, including some hyper-v stuff. Now I'm wishing I'd bought three times what I did.

 

[Hijinx]

I have enough to last me until i am overwhelmed.

All the taxes I paid over the years, I should be entitled to one of those C-130s.

I'd rather have one of the Tucanos. Those things are mean. Some in our specwar community have been wanting some for years. For all we know they've probably got some....

I'd want the C-130 as a buildable lower for my AC-130.

Something to take to the range on weekends.

ahh. That makes perfect sense then.

APEX was selling howitzers a few years ago. Wonder if they still have a couple in the back lot.

Sounds of Interarms front yard..

Years back their was a international magazine that was printed in National Geographic quality that advertised what was avalible on the free market. It was a quarterly mag about 50-75 bucks a pop.
I wonder if its still around?

 

[kom526]

I noticed in another group photo, a couple of them have on high tops.

Gotta keep the ankles supported in that mountainous terrain.

Any truth to the rumor that Sonny's Surplus in DC is making a comeback as Sunni's Surplus?
