Just saw that, it's going fast. Will probably be gone within a few days.

With that said, I work with a chemical salesman who does work with Lake City. He said the facility is amazing, something like 9 acres.

I got to visit the Remington plant in Loanoke, AR. They ship around 4 18-wheeler loads a day and have a huge sigh that reads "0" current inventory. The new addition will be for 9mm and 40.

It states that "This is a one time purchase that was packaged for military export by MAST"

Does anybody know what this means? Does this mean it that this is first run stuff?

Don't know what they were charging for shipping, but PSA has a case for $449 with free shipping. That is a lot of weight to ship. Can't be cheap.

Whenever I buy a case it's usually around $20-30 shipping.

Posted: 10/29/2013 9:15:46 PM EDT

Still not cheap enough.

I can't imagine it wouldn't drop if we just hold off on buying it. When it starts stacking up on shelves they'll lower it.

I'm gonna take a gamble and say the "buy it cheap stack it deep" days are over.
