Like everyone else, we love guns.
We love to talk, shoot, buy, sell, trade or whatever.
As you are all aware trying to buy anything now is nearly impossible.
Long lines and insane prices are the norm, IF you can even find what you are looking for.
In the past couple weeks I have been fortunate to find a few high capacity magazines for Glock and Taurus.

This morning Armslist actually paid off when someone traded me the following .22LR ammo for 1-32 round ProMag magazine....

The guy said he had just sold his MP15-22 for some obscene price and had no need for his remaining .22 ammo.
Cost of the Magazine was $23.99 at MegaSports 2 weeks ago.

I could not refuse.

If you're interested in selling any of that ammo, let me know.

Not really, we shoot a lot of .22.
It's not hard to find around here, every gun store has some (limit of 5-10 boxes per person), most Walmarts, even Farm & Fleet has it.

We pick up a box or two per week.

There's a lesson to be learned here....

After this nonsense is over stock up.

I keep at least 50,000 rounds of every caliber I shoot, I have on safe dedicated to ammo. I made a mistake and didn't restock any AR types after I sold during the last insanity ban, as soon as this is over I'll certainly buy 4-5 more AR's and just stack them in the back again. You mostly don't make a lot of money on modern firearms but you never loose money if you purchase right I've done this for 30+ years, consider it an investment. Don't even take them out of the box just store them well.

That would never work here. We shot the heck out of everything we buy.
