National Ammo Day Nov. 19

[Jamie]

As others have said, it may be difficult to stop at 100! I'm in for at least 4000 rounds, although a portion of that will be .22.

 

[Turbocharged]

I think for it to be even more effective, people should buy it at a store, so the employies see the trend.
Towards the end of the day I imagine some of us will have to settle for what's LEFT on the shelf...
That aside, I'm in.

 

[Pete85]

Should we make plans to hit up the same stores, maybe even around the same time? Maybe get some serious attention when ammo starts disappearing off the shelves. Terrify the checkout clerks at Dick's and Wal-Mart when they're ringing in hundreds of thousands of rounds in a very short period.

Think I'll go for 100 rds in each of the calibers I own plus a couple of 100 rd boxes of 12ga & 1,000 rds of .22.

 

[Rob]

HA!! ONLY 100 rounds? Ya that'll happen.

Absolutely in for several thousand.

 

[Scrivener]

I ordered 5,800 rounds yesterday. Will that suffice, notwithstanding the fact that it's 6 days early?

Then again, it might arrive on the 19th!

Let me guess, 5k of Aguila .22LR and two 400 round boxes of Greek .30-06? I just got my order form notarized for a case of Augila, a 400 round box, a 192 box of .30-06 and .... what was that.... Oh yeah an M1 Garand Service grade.

BTW: I just went to the site and it looks like they are OUT of the enbloc ammo in "military cans" and all the 400 round cases are "sold out"! Arghhhh. There's a run on .30-06 HXP now too!

 

[dwarven1]

Just picked up two hundred rounds of .223 today at Dicks. So it's a little early.

Bad news about the Greek HXP - I hadn't gotten my order in yet.

 

[Scrivener]

I was intrigued by the HRA Garands, but they are ALL gone.

 

[45collector]

I'll buy 500 rounds this weekend. I can't make it to the gun shop on weekdays.

 

[eisenhow]

I was intrigued by the HRA Garands, but they are ALL gone.

ALL HRA in ALL grades or just "special grade"? I haven't called but their website still lists Service Grade HRA $595, that's what I put in for my order. Hopefully they'll be calling me. The ammo I wanted (in military cans) is no longer listed the ammo page. [sad2]

 

[Scrivener]

There was a batch of just 200 HRA Garands that were excellent mechanically, but lacked wood. The CMP put them in its own new stocks, so you had the equivalent of a Correct or better HRA Garand with new wood.


For $750.

 

[Viking Kitten]

Dick's in Saugus is almost out of the 9mm Remington. They said they've been selling ammo like crazy since the election.

 

[Knob Creek]

Why should that day be any different? I buy ammo every day.

 

[mikem317]

I'm definitely in. I might buy some this weekend too. I'd like to check prices after all this reflex demand.

 

[WayneWong]

I bought 500 rounds at Dicks tonight because they had a case sale and I had a coupon in the car. I guess it's close enough to the 19th.

 

[Ripach]

Wife just gave me a $50 BassPro gift card, so I guess now I have to buy ammo.

 

[MACGYVR]

It does not count unnless you buy it on the 19th!!!

Would you give me a Christmas present today?? NO!

Nov. 19 go buy ammo. Of course you are more than welcome to buy today tomorrow etc, but be sure to but on the 19th.

I would like to see a full round count by caliber from each participant.
Can we get a poll setup for this?

 

[MikeH]

I'm in. The 19th should be an interesting day at area gun shops.

 

[dwarven1]

Why should that day be any different? I buy ammo every day.

It's Kim Du Toit's birthday.

It does not count unnless you buy it on the 19th!!!

Per Kim himself, it's more of National Ammo WEEK - he just wants the stores to see a huge upsurge in ammo buying on this day or week.

 

[vicpinto]

Ammo day was today for me at Zero Hour. 200 rounds of .223 and 50 rounds of .45ACP. Most of it has now found a new home at American Firearms School's backstop.

 

[Fixxah]

Perhaps we should look into making it a national holiday. I could use the paid day off.

 

[Ray P]

Does 17 lbs of powder count?

 

[Skald]

Can I postpone for a couple of months and then buy a case to make up?

 

[absolutlemur]

Sounds good.

Man, Four Seasons is going to be packed.

 

[squirt]

Would this not be more effective if it were done on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. If all of this ammo is bought one month a year, it is not making as much of an impact. But, if you get EVERYONE to unload the shelves once every three months or so, then the powers that be will begin to LISTEN.. . .

 

[Jake L]

I will buy a couple of cases of ammo on the 19th.

 

[Bando_Red]

I'll be at my local gun shop,stocking up on .22

 

[MACGYVR]

I am going to the pumpkin shoot on the 29th. I do not own any guns yet and was wonderinng what a good assortment of ammo to bring along to get in on the action?

I would purchase this on the 19th ofcourse to celebrate national ammo day.

I really think there should be a parade on this day like the soviets used to do when they rolled out their biggest and scariest ammo through red square.
