NWI INGO General Post - Part 14

[gunbunnies]

there were more protesters at 9:30 AM than that but yeah they weren't real good at it. They were gone by 11:30AM too... Very unimpressive. There was a bunch of Police there though... County, Crown Point, and even two State Troopers.

People suck.

Anyone have any wood wall cabinets they are looking to get rid of? We're cleaning out the garage and building a large reloading bench this weekend and I'm looking for any free to dirt cheap 30in long, by 12in deep by 18-24in high cabinets that have at least one shelf so I could use to organize my dies, powders, and primers. So far we have less than $125 in the bench which will measure 36x80 using a solid core door as my top with a working height of approx 36.5 in.

PM sent.

Just burned 6 of them and gave away another 6. Got a couple left.

Gun show was busy at 1:30 this afternoon with a full parking lot. Found a new to me vendor Fox River Ammunition with reloaded ammo.

I missed all the protesters. There was a lot of people there, but not overly crowded. I got what I went for... besides the protesters. Got out at 12:30.

I have used some of their 9mm 115 grain before. It cycled fine in my M&P 9MM 2.0. I would not hesitate to buy from them again. I buy most of my ammo at Blythe's or Walmart

FYI- Downtown Hammond isn't any prettier on a Saturday than during the week...especially when you've been working every day for the last 13 days and have several days more before a day off.

....but I have a decent job, so I suppose this should make me happy?

Anyhoo- Happy Saturday, Region Rats.

Day off, what's that?

 

[melensdad]

Day off, what's that?

Ammo is so much less expensive if you buy in bulk online.

But after you retire you die.... Keep working, millions depend on you

When I first hired at the mill, we were keeping track of retired guys.
Somewhere near 75 percent or more died within 6 months.
For a couple years, it was actually 100 percent.

Of course, many guys worked there 50 years or so.
I don't see how I could do that the way things are going.
30 years, then I need to find something else.
The problem is.. what.

It's just like the railroad.....

Evening with shipping costs? I checked out freedom munitions. To buy a case of their 9mm 115 grain FMJ, re manufactured it would cost me $223.56 after shipping. To buy Tula 9mm at walmart that would be would be $166 after tax. The federal brass case ammo at $10 a box would be $214 after taxes.

@ Chef Larry, I was at the CP show yesterday. It was really packed. I said hi to other dave, it was nice talking to him. I met the gentleman who sells 1911 grips. It was nice to see him as well, I think his name is Obi

I've gotten good bulk deals from Natchez and SGAmmo online. Natchez has coupons sometimes that offset shipping.
