Great deal if you have access to a Bass Pro Shop! That works out to about $154 (with sales tax @ 7%) a case, which is about as good as I have seen Q3131A in a year.

Is just at the stores, or can you order it at that price?

It also varies by geographical location. The Bass Pro Shop in Houston doesn't have it on sale, but he said it should be in two weeks...

Don't forget, if there is a Galyans near by, take the Bass Pro sales paper there and Galyan's will match the price plus an additional 10% off.

Sounds like a weekend trip to Memphis. Thanks for the heads up guys. I was wanting a few hundred more rounds. Actually a couple thousand rounds, but funds will allow just a few hundred. [>Q]

Last time they had this sale, BPS had only a small supply at most stores. Hope things are different this time. I'll have to check if the one in IL has this sale, as I haven't got a flyer lately.

yipper, i got that stuff last time it came through..a lil hint... the BPS is in orlando here, i live about 2 hours away. the sale was ending that day i found out about it, and the store was closing, they sold out, but were taking rainchecks, SO...i called up and talked to the sporting goods manager and told him my dilemna, and i was about to raincheck it over the phone. Well a couple weeks go by and im having relatives coming to visit and they are passing by the BPS (its right off major hi-way) so i had them pick up my order for me.[:)]
so thats my story and im sticking to it. oh btw the stuff is the Q3131 and is nice stuff. |

I went to BPS in Auburn Hills MI this afternoon to get some, and was told by the sales clerk that they didn't know of any sale of Q3131A and that they hadn't had any in stock for over 4 months. I did find 3 boxes in the back of the shelve for $3.99 and I snatched those up.

I went in the one in Springfield MO thursday thurs and they were 3.99 a box there so I passed on it. I've got some SA battlepacks that will last me awhile, but is this where you were talking about with the ST charles store? I've got a couple of buddies looking for some but we are 2 hours from Springfield, and unless they bought a HUGE quantity, the drive would cost more than the savings

Vm69, yes it is the St. Charles store that has it for sale. The sales ends the 10th or the 12th i believe. Sorry they haven't had the same sale at the other Bass pro's guys, I was hoping they would so we could all get the deal.

Hey Klutz,
I called the store today. They're about an hour away from me so I didn't want to spin my wheels for nothing. The guy at the gun counter I talked to thought the stuff would be going on sale around August 15. I didn't mention Q3131 specifically, but I'm going to swing up there that weekend to see if there's any there. If you haven't bought it all already ; ) jim |

If anyone is going to St. Charles BPS, better hurry, I just bought half what they had on the shelves. I asked for a unopened case and the guy looked in back but couldn't find any, so I guess that's all they got in.
I bet I looked pretty funny putting 75 boxes in my basket... |

My buudy and I each got 1000 rounds at the Nashville store. They had UMC on sale alos but no one was touching it! The best part is it is a "job expense" for me so I get to deduct it on the old taxes!

For those of you os St. Louis, Dunn's doesn't have the Q3131A stuff. They are selling the other USA boxes marked 223 Remmington. These are not the same. The Q3131A is marked 5.56 and is made in Israel. It's a little hotter and has crimped primers. From what I hear on the board it is more reliable as well. So you'd be better off going to BPS and getting the good stuff for $2.88 than going to Dunn's for $2.99 boxes.

Well, I just called the new store in Savannah, GA looking for 30mm low mount rings. Of course, they did not have them. I asked them if they sold AR style rifles. He said no, because they focus mainly on hunting. I asked if they sold Mini-14s. He said yes. I asked him what you could hunt with a Mini that you could not hunt with an AR. Of course, he had no answer and asked me why I compared them. I told him they were both semiautomatic, magazine fed, .223 caliber rifles and asked him why they sold one but not the other. He reiterated that it was because that they focus on hunting. I informed him, again, that they function the same and fire the same caliber ammo, but it was all politically correct garbage that dealt with cosmetics and nothing else. I got their corporate number and will be calling the HQ tommorrow. I am tired of this crap.
Needless to say, they will not get one penny from me. As for ammunition, you guys should try [url]www.georgia-arms.com[/url]. I have used nothing else for years. Great prices and good ammo, not surplus. |

I once asked if I could shoot my 1911 and Garand at the range. I was told that I could. I then asked about my AR. The RO said no. I asked what the difference was between the Garand and AR was since they were both military rifles. The RO said that the AR shot a "more powerful bullet" than the Garand. I had to leave before I busted out laughing. |

I went to the local chain and asked if they would pricematch Bass Pro. They said yes, plus an additional 10% of the difference.
They called BPS, and came back and asked how many I wanted. Their list is $4.99. After discount, $2.67+tax. $142.52 a case. Not bad. (almost forgot, the clerk went through and pulled all the same lot for me...) |

There isn't a 10 box limit at the Cincinnati BPS. When I went Saturday, they had 6 unopened 1000-round cases on the shelf. They even had a sale tag in front of them that read something like "1000 rounds .223, $144". My buddy and I bought 4 cases.

I *think* it's this weekend. I called when the original thread was posted, and the salesguy indicated that they would have a sale on the weekend of the 16th. He didn't know if the Q3131A was included, but they do have it. |
