555JM 10 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 This is Wolf Black Box: Wolf 7.62x39 122gr. FMJ currently on sale for $255 per 1000 with two ammo boxes (love those things). Not only that, but shipping is only $5 for orders over $150...good through 8/24. Seems like the deal to beat right now. Ordered mine over the weekend and got 'em this morning. Cabelas is quick.

unclejake 428 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Seem that all of the vendors are getting their hearts right now. A good time for all who still have jobs to stock up and build up your inventory. But Dang, it would be bad if you were to shoot up a couple thousand rounds that you just ordered and not have any to count if the "ammo census police" came 'round taking inventory!

HarvKY 72 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thats getting back a little more towards a decent price. I'm hoping others will do as I am and keep holding out for a return back down to the $200 or less price range. Not directing this at any particular person(s) but we need to resist the urge to brag or be happy? about new lower prices that are compared to the greedy, price gouging levels they were at a few months ago. Instead, just compare the alleged new "lower" price to the realistic prices that we had before this mania struck. If people resume buying the large quantities at these still too high IMO prices then the companies will have absolutely no reason to continue lowering it back closer to where it was (and really should be IMO). Please STOP buying the large quantities Just get enough now for practice so that simply looking at their sales numbers will convince these capitalist pigs Cheers HarvKY Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just bought the 500rds deal with one dry box, from Cabelas. I got it yesterday. My rifle just shipped from Centerfire Systems, and is due to arrive at my FFL today. I will just have enough ammo to try it out and check for proper function, then break the rifle in after I convert it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuzzKillin 21 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I was out of ammo and had 1000 in the mail from ammoman, so I had to buy at a local gun shop on my way to the range.. Fricken $9.50 a box (20) for Silver Bear!!! I also wanted another pol mag, so I asked what they charged for a SureFire 10 round (cali), and they wanted $50 bucks for it!! The small local vendors who are still gouging are going to pay big time in business loss when prices are finally back to normal (which it seems they are moving toward quickly)... I for one am going to remember it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
555JM 10 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Harv, you are such a downer. Here I was enjoying my weekend and thinking about how lucky I am to have some ammo, and then I see your post. Some points: 1) I don't remember what prices used to be for Wolf; hafta take your word for it. Never shot the stuff. Reloaded instead. I've got boxes of 1000 primers that I paid $11.50 for...way back when. That was normal then, we'll never see it again. Lucky to find primers at all, now. We may never see Wolf under $.20 a round again either. 2) No lefty here. I want the 'capitalist pigs' to survive. Cabelas especially. This isn't just about me. If you're a lefty that would like to impose socialism, then I'm sure you'd prefer to face empty guns. 3) We don't know when the zombies will invade. If they invade before prices drop, then we'll be sitting around with empty guns. That makes no sense....unless you're a zombie. Y'all have a nice weekend, Harv. And, when it comes to the ammo, don't be like the five foolish virgins in the Bible. For all we know, they were just waiting for the price of oil to come down.

Here I was enjoying my weekend and thinking about how lucky I am to have some ammo, and then I see your post. Some points: 1) I don't remember what prices used to be for Wolf; Before the sky fell, Wolf was $79-$89 per 1000 rd case. Even at that price I wouldn't buy it because I felt it was junk. I bought tons of SA ammo for $125 a thou. GARY N4KVE Edited August 23, 2009 by N4KVE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JK-47 33 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 right now every vendor that stocks wolf and the other russian brands have it in stock. If they can all keep it in stock, then we just wait for them to start undercutting each other. The panic buying is over for now, but if something sets it off again we may have to start all over.

I just paid 259 at ammoman for 1000 of military classic, and that was one of the best deals I could find anyway, so I think with todays prices this is a pretty good deal.. Far from the $69 pr. 1000 of yesteryear though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janusthephoenix 24 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 The conventional wisdom of economics would infer that these prices will never come back down to the $70 level. This is given downward inflexibility, natural steady inflation + whatever accelerated inflation is headed our way if any, and the disorganization of consumers (that is, the unlikelihood of cooperation effort to artificially reduce demand). So, I ask with all legitimate curiosity, what makes you guys think otherwise? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, I ask with all legitimate curiosity, what makes you guys think otherwise? First, it is all artificially high. There is no reason that it should be this high. I bought 7.62x39 at $160/M, just last year. The cost of manufacture and materials has not risen that dramatically. Also, a lot of new folks have been recently attracted to firearms, many of them will not stay with us, at least as active shooters. There will be a surplus of ammo on the market and they have to sell it to someone, that is how they pay their bills. Will we see $89 a thousand again? Most likely not. But it will come down, I have seen all of this before ... I sold off a grocery bad of spare Glock 21 mags for $100 each to a vendor. How much will you give me for one today?

My 9mm AR gobbles up steel cased ammo (Brown Bear, specifically) and shits the empties like it is its job. It actually has never been fed brass cased ammo, and I intend to keep it that way.

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Heh Im getting rid of my 9mm stock just decided to sell all my 9mm guns since I never really liked the round preferring 40sw for the carbine and 45ACP for the pistols. Now 9mm seems to be everywhere. Going to keep my x39, 308, and 7.62x54R rifles and ammo supplies, sell the rest just no reason to keep that many different calibers now that DC has its hands full with problems other than gun control. Using the funds to buy reloading gear and a spare S308. Hunting with the 308 is just perfect even though I had to buy a 5rd mag, with the SB soft point round it takes boar down like a cannon with only marginal damage to meat. Damn I love that rifle.
