Dr_Scholl Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I really lucked out on this one. I went to the gun store with my dad this afternoon for ****s and giggles. As I walked through the door, I noticed this AR-15 sitting up on the rack, and it's exactly like the one I ordered 14 weeks ago( except made by another company). Not only was it identical to the one I ordered, but it was $165 cheaper. So the wife of the owner cancelled my back order with Stag Arms, and then I put the money they refunded toward this Olympic Arms AR. And since I saved so much money, I decided to buy 120 rounds of quality Federal .223 for good measure. So after everything was said and done, I walked away with a new gun, 120 rounds of ammo, and an extra $90 in my checking account. Not bad for a days work.

ShropshireJohn Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I want! I find it slightly amusing that they sell you bags of rounds in a clear plastic bag though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Scholl Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Just out of intrest, how much do .223 cost in the good old US? - and what about 12 bore/gauge. Depends, the 55 grain fmj will usually run between $8-11 per box of 20 right now. 62 grain is usually between $10-15 a box. Some of the match ammo goes for about 75 cents to $1 a round. That 120 rounds I bought cost me $80 bucks. So i'm going to be shooting really slow on Sunday. 12 guage shells aren't too bad. Around $10 a box.

Around $10 a box. Box of 25 is it mate ? Is that Buckshot or Birdshot ? That's about a £5 so not much different than over here, I thought it would have been much cheaper Not at all bad on the 223 rounds though Wish it was that cheap haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Shotgun cartridges are usually more expensive in the US and have been much more expensive in recent years, which is one of the reasons most of my friends there are into reloading.

Guinea Fowl Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 All you need now for your new toy, is a M203 grenade launcher on the front of that, for the long range bunny shots, as it will do the job even if you just get the round in the vicinity of the bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
