Thanks Marty.
No beer or Chili?

 

[orygun]

Nalley's chili original or onion 89 cents a can

No beer though...

Kind of a slow week. I did a little math and it seems to me that the 5.56 in a can is a good way to pay too much for an ammo can!!

I am good friends with the gal that runs the sporting goods in our local store, known her for 30 years. I talked to her about the 5.56 in ammo cans and it isn't selling well at any of the stores and they haves buttload in the warehouse. She told me to hold off as they will probably have a huge price reduction soon to unload it......this is just her opinion based on past experiences. She said she would call me if it happens and I will post on the forum if it happens.

No promises guys, this is just what she is predicting from her past experiences

 

[gonzo1082]

Thanks. Its still a pretty decent deal for 556 green tip I think?

35cents a round, or 30 cents a round plus $20 for a small ammo can is what the 5.56 workds out to be.

 

[bmgm37]

Aren't these also on stripper clips....?

 

[gonzo1082]

yes, on stripper clips

 

[Stomper]

That's actually not a bad price being is its already on 10-rnd stripper clips and sealed in a MilSpec ammo can. It was $159.99 before this sale, which worked out to 38cents and round, and 62-gr. steel core was going for waaay more than that not too long ago (like 45cents a round)... right now it works out to 35cents a round... getting warmer!!

BTW- now I'm suscribed to this thread for any updates... plus I'll be checking my local store regularly now too, and will squak up if there's a further price reduction.

I picked one up at BiMart yesterday. These ammo cans store well without occupying too much space, and it's a nice little SHTF insurance policy at a fair price.

If they go on sale for a bargain rate (like say...$129.95), I'll probably add a few more. It's a good utility round that seems to perform well enough in all barrel lengths. BiMart need not worry. If they go on sale, all us AR knuckleheads will surely gobble 'em up and tuck them away.

Would love to know when they close them out.
Thanks.

I found out a couple days ago from "a guy who had has a friend who works in the Sporting Goods Dept. @ Bi-Mart", that Bi-Mart's COST on these is $140... not a lot of meat left on the bone!

Thanks Stomper - I'm always curious about mark up on anything. When I was 14 I worked a retail store and found out that clothing is 1000% mark up - I don't get anything until they go on sale at 50-70% off now. Thanks for the info on the Federal 5.56. I've seen these in the store but just couldn't seem to cough up that much. I may grab one today anyway but it'll be nice to know if they mark them down to dump them. There are three or four Bi-marts in Eugene alone that have piles of these on the end caps in the sporting section.

FYI the 62gr ammo can is no longer on sale...
