Went into Herb Philipsons Army Navy in Herkimer looking for WOLF .223
As most of you know, WOLF is steel cased cheap practice ammo made in RUSSIA.
OK
Before I started at Remington, I worked at Herb's in sporting goods and know what to expect from the average kid they stick in that department.
I go into Herbs, ask the kid at the counter, "Do you have any Wolf .223 in stock? "
Kid- "No we don't have ANY .223 at all."
Me- "How about the other stores?, Can you check?"
Kid- "No, like I said we don't have any .223 because the military is buyng up all the .223 in the country."
Me- 'You mean to tell me that there's no .223 that I can buy anywhere?"
Kid-"Yeah like I said, the army is buying it all up."
Me-'What about civillian hollowpoint or softpoint?"
Kid-"they're buying that too."
Me- "that's kind of hard to believe, especially since expanding ammo is barred from use in war."
Kid- I don't know about that mister, I just know the army is buying it all up, especially WOLF."
Me- "You do know that WOLF comes from Russia, and it isn't NATO spec."
Kid- "I don't know what nay-toe is... but the army is buying up all the .223."
Me- "Yeah....Uh Thanks anyway..."
Gee, I feel much better knowing that the employees are so knowlegeable at Herbs
