Anybody get anything cool that is gun-related today?

Some hot .45 ACP for hogs or other varmints + a case of SS DuraMags.

Got my check in from USCCA, for winning their contest a week or so ago. Fast work.

What? Wow! Did I miss a thread? Tell us more, lucky one.

I won their daily drawing for a gun, they send you a check for the value of the gun that they are giving away that day. Mine happened to be $1200, but I spent it on a new water heater instead of a gun. I was going to buy a 10/22 with a scope and ammo with about half of it and bank the rest for taxes, but the water heater cratered.

You need the a-10 to complete this. It would make a heck of a commuter vehicle.

I like to have a minimum amount of each caliber ammo I use,,,
The number is quite arbitrary and just reflects what I might shoot in a years time.

I call it a "Bench Stock" amount,,,
My norm for centerfire is a 3-year shooting supply.

For .22 LR ammo,,,
I like having a LOT more than that.

A few years back a friend wanted to buy .22 rifles for his two kids,,,
But he was reluctant because he could find the rifles,,,
But he couldn't find ammo to purchase,,,
More than 3 boxes at a time.

But since I had over 60,000 rounds squirreled away,,,
I loaned him 5,000 rounds to be replaced,,,
Which he did about 2 years later.

Once I reach that bench stock amount,,,
I only replace it as I use it up.

I like having 3,000 rounds on-hand for my 9mm,,,
When I open a 500 round pack of it,,,
I order another one to replenish.

I never want to repeat those Obama summers,,,
Where I was scrambling to find one box of .22 LR ammo.

I remember seeing push-shove matches at Wal Mart,,,
All over a 550 round bulk pack of Federal.

Never again.

You can never have too much ammo.

Sorry it didn't go as planned, but it sounds like good timing anyway.

CONGRATS!

Makes two of those type of contests I've won. Got two BCGs from PSA in the first one and the money from USCCA in the second. If only that luck held for the loto.
