Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.

Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?

Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

How much did you end up spending for 1000 rds?

$425 including shipping. 42.5 cents per round about half the price that other steel cased .223 is going for on the net... when it is even available.

I'm hoping to sell off about half of it to cover some of my own cost. Either that, or trade for bricks of .22lr

Not as impressive as PR's ammo fort, but I did make it myself.

Also, I found a site called Lohmanarms.com. They don't have much in stock, but they're taking backorders. I can't vouch for them, but it might be worth a shot. Some of their prices on bricks of .22 seem close to pre-panic levels.

do not order from them. I called and they are out of stock and are being told by multiple distributors that they are not likely to receive any plinking .22 the rest of the year.

Dammit!

I went ahead and deleted it. Its a damn shame considering they had the best prices on .22 that I've seen since the panic.

They're 525rd bricks (CCI / Fed) were only a couple bucks over walmart pricing. Almost ordered, glad I didn't.

There are still .22LR rounds to be found... if you happen to know someone who lives in Alabama.

Had my girlfriend pick this up for me today at a Bass Pro Shop in Prattville, AL.

Thanks.

It's a damn shame they have a 10 box maximum or I would have had the girlfriend load up on more of the bulk boxes of 22LR.

Oh well. They restock their shelves every Wednesday.

I figured I would post this in here with the ticket information. I know Fraz will want in on this.

Youth Baseball Team Raffling AR-15 Rifle

Cowboy Byte

A youth baseball league in central Illinois is in desperate need of cash – so they’ve decided to auction off an AR-15 assault rifle.

Last year the Atwood-Hammond baseball league tried to raffle off half a hog. But they only raised $10 – and barely had enough to pay the local butcher.

So this year a local gun shop provided the league with a Rock River Arms Tactical Operator Two – and the response has been massive.

“My phone has been ringing off the hook,” said Charidy Bucher, co-owner of the Atwood Armory shop. “The response has been tremendous.”

Bucher told me her phone has been ringing since 4:30 a.m.

“People from out of state have been calling,” she said.

She said the winner of the rifle will also receive 260 rounds of ammunition.

“Ammo is just as hard to get as the firearms these days, unfortunately,” she said.

The towns of Atwood and Hammond are about 25 miles southwest of Champaign – where many residents invoke their Second Amendment rights.

“Most people in central Illinois like to go out and shoot with their families,” she told Fox News. “People are interested in preserving their rights to keep and bear arms.”
