I'm good Tim. Thank You for asking. Me ,and just about everyone I know, saw this coming and we're good. I watch gunbroker and some of the prices being asked for ammo and components are just plain sad.

No prob Glen... I'm having fun with the Gougers... On a couple of the sale boards I'm offering up certain ammo I don't need (stuff that the gougers are scrambling for) but ONLY in fair trade (pre-panic pricing) swaps for things that I would like to have a few extra of... Like cheapo Federal AutoMatch/510s, pistol primers, etc.

Drive's 'em NUTS that I have it but won't sell it.

It's not as bad as the local guy who tells the gouger "I'll buy all you have", tells him he'll meet him at a public spot, usually at a "half way point" a good half hour away from where the seller lives.... then the "buyer" never shows up. 'Fraid I don't have the gall to try that one, LOL!

It's just a peek into what people will do to each other. People who have spent time in my former profession usually like to move far into the country when they retire....and that's what we've done. I only trust people I shoot with and a couple of relatives.

I have never forgotten the gougers from last shortage and won't forget them this time either. Seems things are opening up some though. Was at the largest local indpendent gun store Wed. They had plenty of shotgun shells, target loads by the flat no limit, 45acp and 9mm limited to 3 boxes per person. Reloading supplies powder primers bullets also quanity limited.

What they did not have is any 22LR. I fool with different ammo Dec - Jan then buy for the season. Figured out what I want for my CLA Rimfire now can't buy a supply. Brick and a half on hand . Spring is comming will just go fishing when I run out
