Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Now, I'm not crazy, well totally crazy at least for now. But I do believe that a person should have a stockpile of ammo for the gun thats gonna carry them through when "times get tough" should that ever happen. At minimum 1,000 rounds for that firearm. Yesterday, while on my way up to Minneapolis I stopped by the Owatonna Cabela's to find some .223 at a good price. So I snagged a few 500 round tins. Won't open them till the time comes. But for now it feels good to have them ready and waiting just in case. In the meantime need to pick up more. Always need more, more more more. Squirrel'n it away. Either for higher ammo prices, or for when our so called government decides to take a vacation of indeterminate length.

Not a bad idea, but you should have several thousand for each of your main defense guns, and several hundred for your other guns. I have stockpiled for years and have ammo in sealed tins that I bought in the middle 70's.

i have a box of 22's

that's all i need...........

Yep.
Gotta have enough to feed me,the family and them dogs will eat those who I choose to plunder when the stash gets low

Having ammo enough to get me there,and back is , well, never enough.
The best defence is a good offence.

Hostile resupply is an option, though laying away a stash so I can lay low is what I'm up to today

Do you know the range to your neighbors door?

Definatly agree with you there... The more ammo the merrier! 'Sbout 200-250 yards to the neighbors door And he's gettin on the old side, won't run around too much if the time ever comes.

I would never stockpile ammo, food or any other survival necessity. Guns are bad and our government will always protect us. After all, they say they only want what's best for us.


While I'm here, I've also got this bridge I need to sell cheap...

you cant have too much ammo , you just have to balance it with your purchase of new rifles / handguns ,
i keep enough for the ones id use in case SHTF

.....how about...." Hillary Clinton, President of the United States of America"...................

In all truthfulness, I am attempting to curtail new gun purchases, until I stock up on sufficient components for the guns I have now and shoot. I do shoot alot, and my current reloading supplies would carry me just about a year, maybe two reloading what I shoot off. I just received 1000 various bullets and 8 lbs of assorted powder, but want to get maybe 5 times that amount. I do still have alot of stored ammo in tins and ammo boxes. New calibers down the line will have limitations. I won't be able to stockpile some new cartridge in the thosands like I do the present ones.

Balance... Tell me about it! I ALMOST bought another Mauser this weekend! Now I just need to buy about 15,000 more rounds before I should get any more guns!

Mausermeister, you are absolutely right. I'm going to call Hillary and Sarah right now to see if they will come and get all these nasty weapons.
Maybe they can give me some pointers on how to vote in the next election while they are here.
I have seen the light!(or was that a muzzle flash?)

I just keep one bullet in my shirt pocket as my hero Deputy Fife would do!

Bulk I need 9mm, 40mm, and 7.62x39 oh and maybe 308 and 7.62x54r and!! I could go on but thats the problem, with so many different calibers.

2000+ rounds aint bad IG. Now you just need that shotgun we saw at Gander! Yeah, and I need that CX4...

I have an unopened 1200 round case of Norinco 7.62x39 sitting in the basement and no gun to shoot it in. Maybe I should see if it'd worth anything. All it's doing now is keeping the 7.62x54R company.
