Whole sh*load of ammo at Gonzales gunshow!

[Kdjohn1]

I went to the gun show at Lamar Dixon in Gonzales this weekend and noticed that several ammo dealers were there with an entire assload of ammunition.
Folks, there's no shortage of ammo.
If you're paying premium prices for ball and range ammo, then you're contributing to the problem.
If we all refuse to give in to the unreasonable demand, then the prices will drop and the supply will stabilize.
I believe it begining to happen already.

How much were they selling ammo for over there? Reasonable or not reasonable???

I went mostly cause I was bored . Prices were all over the place in the highest reaches. I left then went to cabelas just for shiggles. Turns Out they just got a truck the day before and had a good bit of 5.56, .308, and so on. Cabelas was selling 100rd boxes of 5.56 for $67, while at the same time at the gun show , those same boxes were $135.

I saw Winchester *white box* .45 ACP 100 rd box marked $125.00 and 20 rd box PPU 303 British for $99.00 and kept walking.

I really wish a 20rnd box of 5.56 would go back to $8-10 dollars a box. Lol. I regret not stocking up when i had the chance

How much was the admission charge ?

 

[some_goat]

$10 to get in and window shop.

 

[WhereIsIt?]

Was it old stock or new ammo?

I can honestly say that I’m not a part of the problem. I ain’t buying none of that high priced shinola

I love a good romantic story with a happy ending.

Kinda like going to an oriental massage parlor with a 100.00 dollar bill.

When I sell stuff I always look at market price and then go a little below. I consider a good transaction to be one where I am happy with what I'm selling and the customer is happy with what they are buying. That being said I haven't been able to get much ammo and moving guns has really slowed down and become more difficult. There were a ton of people at the show, but they just weren't really buying. I wasn't seeing much money exchanging hands and items moving off of the tables so who knows guess people just want to look at stuff

The prices don't matter!
The point is, the ammo is there.
It's available and plentiful.
If the dealers leave with plenty of ammo, maybe the prices will drop.
World war three is not about to break out.
There's no need to pay a buck a round.
Get your head out of your ass and come to your senses.

I've noticed the mad rush over the last 12 months is finally starting to slow down and manufacturers are starting to get product to market.

Wow, the same box of 45 was priced slightly under 60 bucks at Academy this morning. No deals at the gun shows.

"The only thing that determines the price of goods in a free market economy is what the market will bear".

The NRA and the rest of the fear mongers have done their job - shilling for the manufacturers.

A good friend who is ex LEO, Mil, and Game Warden told me that the chances of actually using a firearm against an aggressor is about the same as winning the lottery. I don't play the lottery, but I do believe in personal protection.

The second amendment is not going anywhere. Even if both houses of congress and the president signed a bill to kill it, it would require ratification by two thirds of the 50 states. Ain't gonna happen.

IHMO, YMMV, and any applicable acronyms apply...
