The rifle is not the only "green weenie" we're getting: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/AMM-207

That's $2.35 per round, with shipping on a box of 20... :twisted:

For better or worse, CTD has gone to "market" pricing. The good news is that availability there is a bit better than other spots. Bad news is that Panic Pricing appears to be there to stay. I, for one, am trying to give my $$$ to local shops and those online that are not jacking prices. It means waiting, however, for many items.

Yeah, by "market pricing" I assume you mean "all the market will bear"....I'm not buying anything I don't absolutely need until the current madness dies down to whatever the new normal will be. I'm sure that won't happen until the current round of gun control stupidity in Washington is (we hope) shot down in flames later in the year. Sooner the better.

And once again, the Sheepdawg gets called back from the edge of the cliff. I was just about to make a buy. Then I read this. Thanx, bro. I have been refraining from buying anything during this period. But I saw something that made me lose my senses. I was about to go to a web site and place an order after I got off here. I've changed my mind. I've decided it would have been a panic buy.

It's official now! Cheaper than Dirt is price gouging in their catalogs. I got this catalog in the mail just now. And this is just the aluminum mag!

Meanwhile, back on the farm... I'm off to do my chores, feed the pigs and I'm taking about 40-60 rounds for the 5.56 and 7.62 so I can make some noise. I'll be wishing you guys were here to double up the decibel level. :)

Stay safe my friends!
