Any luck finding .22 ammo for it? That stuff has become like finding hen's teeth and when you do I've seen people asking 5.56 prices! I'd like to pickup a conversion bolt for my M&P.

I've got a box of 555, from back when you could buy it for $12. Everything else is stupid overpriced, yeah. Sometimes in Alabama I can find some decently priced ammo, but most of the time I'll just buy .38spl, cause it's not that much more, and fun to shoot.

I'm enjoying listening to the 9mm guys crying because I can still find .40 and .45. Nyaa! :laugh:

Lmao I'm in the same boat. "Awwww I can't find 9mm!"

"Hm, that's weird, there's plenty of .45 and .38..."

What's the price on some .22LR where you're at? It's about $7/50rd here.

The worst I saw was at a gun show. This fool thought I was going to pay $27 for a box of 100 that should be $7. The rest, nobody seems to have any.

I haven't found 22 in a long time. I want to pick up a 22 Mag just because I can find it (or 17HMR).

Walmart does get some of the 555 rd boxes occasionally. But people are there at 6am to grab it all.

When I find 50rd boxes at local places its been $4-5.

Its Winchester, I've never really had a problem with them. Depends on the gun probably.

My MkII and 10/22 will eat about anything with little issues. Henry lever action of course never has an issue.

My old bolt feeds the 555 fine. Never had a single misfire or any issue.

Neither has my buddy with his 10-22, and he fires that thing till the barrel steams.

I want cheap 9mm again. I barely got to shoot my G19!

And yeah, the .22 lr is just retarded. I have 400 rounds of fiocchi standard velocity AMD a little Winchester bulk left. It makes me sad.

Thankfully, I have a couple .45 pistols and a .357!

This is why just sticking to one caliber is a bad idea.

Bimart has never failed to supply me with .22lr or .40.
f*** love that place.
This is the NW though so, YMMV.

yo AMMOTOGO.com can suck a fat one.

today http://www.WoodBuryOutFitters.com was selling CCI Mini Mags for $10.99 per block 100. Thats a good deal at this time.
http://www.woodburyoutfitters.com/Produ ... 7&CartID=1

So what does ATG decide to do? They posted an update around lunch on facebook that .22lr will be available shortly(today). THEY WAITED FOR THE 100+ UNITS OF THE CCI MINI MAGS TO SELL OUT, AND THEN POSTED THEIR AGUILA FOR $15.90/100rnds

so i simply let them know that other sites are selling the best .22lr for almost $5 cheaper. This was their reply: "we are all over the bottom of the price list" (on some ammo site) and attitude followed up that if i dont like it, i can move on.

so i replied: "i saw that list. but just because you waited till a cheaper competitor sold out first, before posting your much higher prices - doesnt mean its ethical (especially at this time). and it doesnt mean you cant at least price match or come near your competitors. thats all i was asking. i have no problem with companies making profit - hell thats the whole point to working; but strategic price gouging is immoral. we are not talking about earrings or rims. we are talking about life & death items here."

MY POST WAS REMOVED.

then someone else caught on, and this was ATG's reply: "See the no whining sign below... If you accuse us of gouging you will be removed."
