Dude, 8000 to 10000, holy sh1t!

Dude, thats just crazy... completely insane! Having that many rounds is asking for the federal government to come raid your house..

haha..

but seriously, where would you keep 100K rounds? in a bunker, right?

m4a1mustang · 05-02-2012, 10:49 PM

Or a room. Shouldn't take up tooo much space.

Yep, doesn't take up that much space, it will all fit under your bed... (so I'm told)

And when O'Bumbler gets re-elected and the riots start, you'll be kicking yourself when you have't stocked up

I don't know about riots, but it's likely that we'll see price increases as we run up to the election, especially if polling looks like Obama is getting the edge. My reason for acquiring ammo in excess of my immediate needs is to have enough around to carry me beyond any likely price fluctuations and buy again when prices drop back down, assuming that they will (as they did 4 years ago). Admittedly, that may be pointless since there's no guarantee that any gun/ammo restriction or ban Obama may initiate will include a grandfather clause, but I am hopeful (and reasonably sure) that we won't see the "authorities" coming around to confiscate our ammo or guns. If they do, then I'd have to reconsider my concerns about riots. Generally, however, I'm not a believer in all the SHTF/EOTWAKI scenarios. Those "prepper" fantasies don't play a role in my firearms/ammo acquisitions.

Just placed an order - I'll let you know how they do.

Status Update:
Order Placed Monday night, received most of it Friday, and the rest is scheduled to be delivered Monday.
Seemed to take a long time to "process" the order, but still not bad.

a) I'm surprised the board(s) didn't break.

m4a1mustang · 05-06-2012, 05:05 PM

I just keep my ammo in bins to keep it dry.

Yeah, that's about the limit for that particular shelf. It's in a warm storage room off the garage. That's about an average amount of stored ammo for the guys I shoot with.
