Reeder Custom Guns - I ventured to the LGS today...

we are blessed with several good shops with good people. The ammo is available around here anyway, if a little scattered. One fellow did venture in asking for .38 or .357, to no avail. I offered the notion a good time to trade for a .40 or 10mm, plenty of that around. He hinted he had that covered. I was able to buy a couple boxes of .22 WMR for $20 each and I picked up a 50 rnd. box of Federal 10mm FMJ 180's for $25. I like their flat points.

He has some fair stock of used guns. Always brightens when I walk in, he gallops for anything new, weird, and good money. lol He first showed me a late teens M12 Winchester that literally looked new. 28" solid rib full. (good thing I already have an example) I'm certain you'd need a keen eye not to miss a squirrel sitting still at 30 paces. The next was a bit more tempting. A Martial Winchester M1907 in .351 WSL. The more is mint, a couple superficial cracks where you know to look but expected. My goodness the wood is twice as thick as commercial models. I figure to butt-stroke a foe in the forehead perhaps! The curly tip on the action rod and a steel butt are also two tells. I saw three or four M24 Smiths! I seem to have bought the bargain last month.

It was a nice diversion and way to end my year. I'm taking the next couple days off.

I actually bought 400rds of 5.56 and 60rnds of 30-30 yesterday for a fair price yesterday at Cabela's couldn't believe it was still on the shelf.

1. Gun shops are selling ammo at double the price. I see a shelf full of white box 9mm at 45 bucks a box. I saw the new, at least to me, the 5.7 round at 50 bucks a box. So ammo is almost a buck a shot.

2. Rationing. I bought one box of 10mm Auto Blazer at 24 bucks and one box of 22 WRM at 16.

This AM I had to get some printer ink so I stopped by a store and bought 150 rounds of WW .223 FMJ for 65 bucks. Also a box of Federal 22 lr 325 round pack.

Times are very interesting for a lack of a better term.

The simple fact America (close to 50%) is armed to the teeth, with a supply of ammo already. Those on the fringe not armed could be, and set up by the surplus stock from the others, several times over.

The enemies whistle while walking through the graveyard. You shoot the Indians with the most feathers first. They usually are a ways off, behind the loud ones. That helps things wrap up quickly.
