As a Texan and resident of the metroplex from whence CTD hails, I can freshly remember the day after Obamanation took office. Their prices not only doubled, some of them went up 500% or greater. 99% of gun shop owners give the other 1% a bad name!

Can't afford the cost of the reload equipment and start-up? Get together with one or more gunnies,and pool your dough to get what you need, and you got a sort of co-op, with each person pitching in, and all benefitting. Your ammo will not only cost less, it will bring some of us together, and more will know how to do it. Just sit down, and figure out a few rules, and BAM! you can do it.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410045398729979497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-53910343928492309442012-03-05T06:08:59.803-06:002012-03-05T06:08:59.803-06:00And practice that is semi-realistic at least is a ...And practice that is semi-realistic at least is a need too.<br /><br />I spent a couple of decades thinking I was a great shot because I could stand facing a target 7-10 yards away and put every shot into a palm-sized group or less no matter the gun (with revolvers I could frequently get smaller than a quarter). All slow-fire of course.<br /><br />Then I started IDPA in 2011 where you have to move and shoot from behind cover and sometimes from less than ideal stances while trying to engage all targets in the shortest time possible while still getting good center mass hits.

There were fewer tables than normal but wall-to-wall people. I use the term "people" as opposed to customers, because many are unemployed and flat out cannot afford an upgrade firearm. Don't know what it's like in the rest of the country, but times are getting harder here. My "circle of friends" seemed to draw attention from what looked like two, white bread type, rookie, ATF or PSP bottom feeders. Their attempts at eavesdropping were pathetic. Based on what I observed, if Obama is re-elected, people are going to be hard pressed to acquire any, more, or better guns in this neck of the woods.SWIFTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-41149914982366632362012-03-04T13:38:43.771-06:002012-03-04T13:38:43.771-06:00LOGISTICS: Consider it as TIME and OPTIONS.

The price of a DisneyWorld week-long family Vacation will make the difference if spent properly now. <br /><br />Without a supply system that can provide what is needed, when it's needed, you ain't got sh!t. A famous line about this is "My kingdom for a horse!".<br /><br />Cheers.pdxr13https://www.blogger.com/profile/04663894695994248670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-41358046303550932502012-03-04T13:37:03.153-06:002012-03-04T13:37:03.153-06:00In other words, learn how to manufacture ammunitio...In other words, learn how to manufacture ammunition and spare parts. The latter are easy it's the ammunition that's going to require some coordinated effort to brew up the smokeless gunpowder, primer compounds, the presses to make the bullets and cartridge cases. Info's out there now on places like Scribd.com, Docstoc.com, the torrents, Archive.org. Download now. An 1850's manual on the Enfield rifled musket has a recipe for percussion caps... that's primers.

I eventually realized I would be better off using one of the rifles I already own, and learning how to use it better, and buying more ammo for them, than buying yet another gun.Mattexianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364636677279037964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-84563767227598823322012-03-04T12:50:59.955-06:002012-03-04T12:50:59.955-06:00Dependability and ammo.we need not worry about pul...Dependability and ammo.we need not worry about pulling off the miraculous mile and half sniper shot.We want something that`s going to put a whole lot of lead down range in a hurry.You can get 2or 3 AK`s for the price of 1 AR and they will stand up to abuse or neglect much better.Ammo in the 7.62x39 is easily available now and relatively inexpensive.Logistics aint that hard if you plan ahead.At least 10,000 rds.on hand as a starting point.And keep adding to it every chance you get.Also keep in mind if your going to have more than one weapon in use try to keep them of the same caliber.John Wayne and Rambo are movie characters,in the real world during a close in firefight,what`s called a dynamic critical situation,you will be so pumped up you will loose fine motor skill`s.You don`t want to be fumbling around trying to put the wrong ammo in a weapon.Another point that is of the utmost importance if you intend getting involved in this is - SAFETY !
