IndyArms 10,186 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Typically I won't leave the house on black Friday... But today...I was up at 4, and in line at the local bass pro about 20 after. Doors opened at 5... I really wanted some of the Federal target 22 ammo, and at 16 bucks a box,i felt the price was not outrageous...so I grabbed a few boxes. I had the GF and my daughter with me as it was a two box limit per person... I was naughty and went back for seconds, though. We were in and out of the store in less than 5 minutes!!!☺ I also needed tumbler media... I just tumbled and sorted over a thousand rounds the last two days... 223,308, 3006, and a few misc others... Anyone else brave the crowds and find any amazing deals?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Local gun store opens at 10... Mom might be upgrading to something bigger than a .22 for her carry pistol. She found out from a rental that she can shoot the Glock 42 with no pain to her hands from her arthritis. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HB of CJ 1,263 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I woke up at six am and thought about it. Pouring rain. I decided that when the tough gets going the tough go back to bed. So I did. Then got up at seven thirty am. Could not sleep. Still going nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She found out from a rental that she can shoot the Glock 42 with no pain to her hands from her arthritis. Success! Mom has a new and bigger pistol now. I reminded her to get cleaning supplies and ammo for it, then we went to her house and I helped her with field stripping, inspecting and cleaning it. All ready to go now. Traffic was light in our little neck o' the woods. After getting the pistol ready, we went to lunch, then I went on the the grocery store. No traffic problems and not much of a crowd in the store, either. The big shopping and mall area is down the highway from here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I was given a Cabelas gift card, so all my Black Friday shopping was online also. I got a Caldwell Lead Sled Solo for $50, plus some AR15 accessories and a bunch of clear ammo storage boxes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great cheap tumbler media can be found at the pet store. its Called lizard litter. It's ground walnut. I've been using it for years. I add a bit of case polish to it and it works magic in my tumlber (see below). There's a really great brass tumbler out there for cheap too, and it's bigger than you'll ever need. Red Lion's Big Cat concrete mixer. 3.5 cubic ft capacity. I deburred the paddles and added a pizza pan as a lid with 3 catches to hold it on. Works great. I even added a 60 minute timer to it so I can load it up and walk away. Come back in an hour and the cases are shiny clean. Even my 50BMG cases come out clean. ...and it's under $300. This, and Dillon's big media separator gives me a case cleaning setup that's hard to beat. Edited November 25, 2016 by patriot 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HB of CJ 1,263 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 It is so unfair that some of us have so much fun hand loading they need a cement mixer just to clean all their brass. Now I suppose you will share with us underlings that you keep all your surplus brass in one yard dumpsters, your powder and primers in a BATFE approved bunker, your good to go bullets in big plastic tubs that weight 7200 pounds full and ALL your big Dillions, (sp?) have motor drives. Not fair at all! :) Sounds cool to me. I forgot about the links. Many links. They are kept someplace. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rubbermaid or Stellite containers work well for the brass, and you can't beat surplus ammo cans for loaded ammo. I buy powder, primers as needed because I don't like having a large amount around. Red Dot and Unique are great. I use them in shotguns and pistols. Only one Dillon 650. No motor drives. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Unfortunately I don't load anymore, I never got into large volume loading. Just a single stage and all hand powered tools. I got into it when I was in my 300 blackout phase. It's a real time suck and I have a lot of stuff to do. But I've been wanting to get back in it but only for a crazy wildcat. I've been looking at the 358 gremlin latley. It is basically an American version of the Russian 9x39. Based on x39 cases. I'm thinking the palmetto state armory ks47 that's an ar15 that takes an mags with a 10.5" barrel will push 300 grain slower than sound and with a soon to be legal (fingers crossed) silencer would make a sweet weapon and what I was looking for our of the 300 blackout all along. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 1,646 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I scored an awesome water pic flosser. I've needed one for a very long time and glad I got it. The volume of stuck food particles I got out on the first use was shocking!!! Well worth it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Probably should have bought a year membership for unlimited range time and ammo discounts at my LGS, it'd come in handy for introducing my friends who are curious about my obsession with firearms. 100 dollars off is a great discount, I just don't have it now since I'm buying that extra hunting shotgun to increase the volume of fire with a second shooter and all.

Capt Nemo 882 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Didn't bother on friday, but sunday bagged 20 Magpul pmags for $11.99 each, and 18 Tapco AK mags at $6. Didn't bother with the .22 at $49 a 325 block. Wonder why they have it in stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montec 164 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I hit up the local Fleet Farm, 40boxes of rem 9mm for me and 26boxes for the brother in law. Waiting on clarification from Remington for rebate submission due to Fleet Farm putting new UPC labels over the box ones. Other then that, ordered a couple new 7 1/4 sawblades from Lowes, a tool from Sears, and a new Ridgid cordless set from HD. Yeah really not much this year. Usually its a bout a half dozen stores before 8, and I really only needed to hit one, rest was all done online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Nemo 882 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Oh....So that's where all the Rem 9mm 115gr FMJ went! Need 7 boxes of the Rem 124gr JHP to finish a can. Hasn't been in stock anywhere for awhile. Just the stupid price HD stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hasn't been in stock anywhere for awhile. Just the stupid price HD stuff. I did grab too much, but was able to put back the extra I didn't need at the register. It became a mad house at the end cap so I just grabbed and tossed into the cart before someone decided to grab from the cart. Even in my area, people grab from others arms and carts.

Capt Nemo 882 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Wednesday FF put out a pallet of Federal 325 boxes at $20.99 with no limit....snagged 12 boxes! 2 more .30 cal cans put up. If I can do that again, I can then start enjoying myself again after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montec 164 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I noticed on the weekend that Fleet Farm had put new upc labels on some boxes of ammo, guess they got a shipment of 100 packs and we're told to break them up and relabel. So I called the store and was told I should be fine for the rebate. I emailed Remington to confirm and finally got an answer, nope it needs to be their printed upc, guess what the upc under the fleet farm one is not valid for the rebate. I wonder how fleet farm is going to handle this now???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
