I found ammo!!!

[Bajablast]

In my garage.

In early 2016 my wife and I separated for about 4 months. She proceeded to hide all my ammo and guns that I didn't get out initially.

Today while getting a bike trailer out of the garage and ready to sell, I found 6 boxes of .45 acp that I thought was gone forever. Woot!!!

We reconciled, and now my lovely wife has 2 revolvers of her own. A Ruger .22lr, and a Lady Smith in .38 special +p.

Now my search for .45 acp ammo is done for now.

Which reminds me, I am still looking for some of my large quantities of ammo.

Way to support a guy who reconciled, guys!

A very good friend of mine went through the same thing, probably around the same time. He cried on my shoulder a lot; she left him and took the kids. In his case it was really more his fault than hers, and I've known her since she was little. (He's a good friend but I think very highly of her too). He moved heaven and earth to get his family back; they got counseling, worked some things out, and are doing very well. So yeah, it can be done, and I think it's worth it, but then I have a different perspective on life than a lot of guys.

Congrats on finding some ammo, and even more than that- congrats on reconciling with your wife! I hope you were able to work out whatever the big issues were, and enjoy many happy decades together!

Sorry, but I have been down this road.

I did not reconcile, but I tried a few times. Let's just say it didn't go well and leave it at that.

I have trust issues with women because of all the bovine fecal matter my ex put me thru after we split up. So yeah, once someone backstabs me, I am done. I won't trust them anymore - and I had it done to me over and over again. I understand that they were hurt, but doing things out of spite to get back at someone, that steps over the line and to me shows an underlying character flaw.

I love it when I run across ammo I forgot about, like the several hundred rounds of XM-193 from when I went camping a few years ago when I was cleaning the garage.

That's better than finding money in the clothes dryer. Just remember, they're all just future ex-wives....

Speaking of which, I just found 460 rounds of .45 ACP Black Talon (in an ammo can marked "22 LR" ).

The original Black Talon, not SXT/Ranger/etc.

So now I just have to find the missing case of rifle ammo.

Why are divorces so expensive????















Because they are worth it, at least that's what I hear. I'm too stubborn and faithful to my kids to go through with one, lol.

Things have worked out great. We are now planning our escape from Oregon in a few years to retire to the wonderful State of Idaho, Northern Idaho that is.

Never have I wanted to move so badly, but alas, I must be patient.

I have a box of that in .45 ACP. Box of 20 with one round missing for some reason... If I had all twenty rounds, I would sell it as I hear it's a bit of a collectible item these days.

Yeah, it seems to be selling for about $2-3 per round on GB?

Right after I heard about this:

101 California Street shooting - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I went out and bought a case of 500 because I thought they would ban it. I had already tried it in my primary defense pistol and it was the one JHP ammo that worked the best at the time in that pistol.

Maybe I should sell it?

I found a box of .45acp and ended up buying a Kimber Ultra Carry II to go with it. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this sort of thing...

Is it really that desirable? I have no clue.
Please educate me.

I had .50 BMG ammo (e.g. Raufoss and sabot, etc.) for years before I bought the rifle. Sold the rifle - never shot it - and I still have half the ammo (for sale).

The only thing better than that is finding cash in the pocket of items purchased at a thrift store; it's happened to me twice now!

Years ago I was cleaning out the garage, and had just tossed a box of junk into the trash bin. On top was an old worn-out wallet I had quit using long ago. An idea popped into my mind when I saw it, so on a whim I dug it out of the trash and opened it up to check inside a hidden inner pocket. Yep, sure enough, the $20 bill I used to keep in there for emergencies was still there!
