They jacked two of your SA battle packs!  When the SA first started coming in it was 9 battle packs (1260 rds) to a case. Towards the end, when it was coming in slower they started breaking the cans open and selling it 7 to a case but the price didn't change. Then the price slowly started creeping up as the source dried up. When I bought the 3 cases I have they came wired and sealed shut. I remember when I started seeing the price going up I was going to get some more and saw that the cans were no longer sealed and they had gone from 7 to 9 bps per case. I still should have got a few cases. |

As a kid, .22lr was 47 cents at the hardware store down the street from me.
With tax it was 50 cents for a box of ammo. If you bought a whole brick (500 rounds) you got a break...$4 Cant recall other calibers but I know they were a hell of a lot cheaper than now. I vaguely recall paying around $5 for 9mm blazers when they first came out. |

Best I can remember was Q3131A for $4 a box. I bought it all and can't bear to shoot any of it.

Quoted: Yes, long gone are the days of cheap ammo and expensive USGI mags; but they still live on in our minds, and this thread Back when Wolf was for losers and was coated in that stinky lacquer, back when XM prefix Lake City was snubbed as supremely inferior and not worthy of Arf's safe queens... Post your favorite ammo deals of yesteryear...I'll start: My all time favorite was the IMI M193. It came in 1200 rd cases in 30rd boxes. Price: $140/case...shipped to my door I shot more of that stuff than any other 5.56. In fact I still have some, as well as a couple empty cases marked: "Lot # 223"  A close second was the South African that came on stripper clips in bandoleers; that shit shot a giant fireball out the muzzle and sometimes little sparks from the chamber  Fun times. But they are gone Post your ammo stories and let us not forget the good times... Speed These are the good times. |

Quoted:
March 1992 a case of 1000 Norinco 9mm 124.95, 1990 720 rounds of 7.62x39 $63. The Inflation Calculator What cost $124.95 in 1992 would cost $188.69 in 2009. not as bad as some would think |
