More on Ammo Prices

[Griff Murphey]

I was at Cheaper Than Dirt in Fort Worth yesterday. The Catalog lists S&B at $35 per box of 50. They are still listing 120 rd. USGI LC Carbine ammo at $125 per 120 rd. Bandolier, that's a dollar a round for you accounting majors. Wolf, which I would not consider due to the steel cases, was going for $27.95 or thereabouts. CTD also was selling some .380 Auto pistol for $39/box/50. Now I have no argument with marking up the collectable Lake City because they ain't makin' that no more. But the rest is just highway robbery. Last week I passed on a single sole survivor box of Remington at Wal Mart for $24.95. You can't tell me that $35 bucks is a fair price for Czech made S&B; they are just marking it up like they are that .380. Another example of how ridiculous this whole thing is; a week an a half ago Wal Mart had a stack of 10 boxes of Remington 9mm for $9.95 each. I will say one thing for Wal Mart vs. our "gun dealers" - they are not trying to fleece us. Wal Mart has empty stock areas for Winchester .380 priced at $13.95. Granted the prospect of ever seeing any may be remote which is why CTD has theirs marked up to $39!
