No it’s pretty random. Midway typically stocks during the day but that came in stock late Tuesday evening when he posted it in this thread. But it was only in stock for a VERY short time, even at that price. I’ve been trying to find Grendel for a couple weeks now and have seen it in stock maybe 3-4 times total, but only at prices approaching $2/r. And even those sell out within a hour of it being posted, sometimes less. |

IMI M855 1200 rounds at $999.99
They have them since yesterday morning. On Jan 7th they had them with $739.99. If I did not pay then the price saying that they are not worth more than 35 cents a bullet, I won't pay this price now. But if someone is interested, go and get them. Although I wish everyone would just say come on, this is getting ridiculous and just stop buying with these jacked up prices. In this way we would see the sellers from gunbroker and other sites just dumping them all to get rid of them. :) |

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that my Grendel will be gathering dust for the next year or more. With the current administration mainlining the tenets of socialism and communism, I don't expect to see ammo anytime in the near future. Sadly, it's probably going to end up being shot at each other before it ever shows up for sale again. |

Last time i went to check out on this (yesterday) i only wanted to buy 1 box and they get you good with the original price of 76 cents a round but hit you with a handling fee and tax (most ammo places i order from online dont add tax) and in the end with shipping ends out to about 95 cents around depending on where you live for your sales tax, but i guess if ur going to buy 1000 rounds plus this might be a good place to do so |
