Get it while you can

Then you would like Missouri. The people here don't care if a gust of wind shows off your carry weapon and no one cares if you are printing. The people in Missouri figure everyone is carrying and really don't care.

There is now something more scarce in Texas than ammunition ....

Plumbing parts!

I would have figured that "global warming" freaks might be getting a bit rare too.

Hence the low crime levels.

Fewer armed citizens = more crime.

The rancher we lease from has lost his wells in all this cold and can't find any 1" PVC fittings. HomeDepot had none within "100 miles". I found a Lowes 35 miles away that had them so ran down and picked them up for him. I will deliver to him tomorrow and maybe do some hunting.

Sent wife off today to try and find some 20ga shotshells for her shotgun... she came back with 2 cases... seriously, 2 cases. Federal Top Gun ammo no less. I need to send her out for ammo more often!

It seems more and more ammo is showing up though, lets hope this continues and the run on components starts to ease. As for our household, the only thing I'm lacking is 209M primers I use in my muzzleloader.

Convert your ML to a flint striker and flash pan - problem solved!

We still have plenty of 209 muzzle loader primers. Just not the CCI 209M.

Really? Last thursday they said they didnt have any. Ah well... i trade my brother some primers for a few 209ms he had unused (30ish). It added to the 35'ish I had left.

Amusing its come down to counting single primers.

I'll bet they didn't know you were looking for muzzle loader primers. Either that or they didn't listen very well. We have plenty of CCI muzzle loader and Winchester 777 primers.
We just don't have the ones designated for shotshells.

Well, I may have missed the boat. I thought it was mostly AR rifles and components, e.g., barrels, receivers, etc. Can't find a bolt action Tikka in .30-06.

The only item I'm low on is Small Pistol Primers. Guess I could reduce the powder charge and use Small Magnum Primers, but...So many of my handguns use the Small Pistol Primers that I'm always low on them. Two 9mmX19, Three .38 specials, One .380 and one .40 S&W.

Bushy, you are a little low on the small pistols.
one 380, four 9x19s, three 327 Fed.s, two 32 H&Rs, one 357, and two 40 S&Ws.

13 guns is an unlucky number. You need to go get one more.

ByTheWay I do have three .357 mags too, but I use mag primers in them.
