Yeah and I'm sooooo jealous of you. You not only get to visit them and see all the stuff in person you save on shipping as well. :thumbsup:

I have at least a thousand rounds for every type gun I own. I don't shoot all of them but I do like to add to my collection. I just bought an 800 rd. Tin from J&G for about $165.00 could have paid $129.00 if I bought The Tok TTC 7.62x25 Romanian but I opted for the SOG Yugoslavian M57 for the same price $219.00 Thanks for the info from a member of this forum that the Yugo is the most popular version with a 9+1 Mag. instead of 8+1 with the Romaian Tok TTC . SOG was selling M57's last year with an extra mag. for $199.00 with original holster, cleaning tool and in excellent condition. This year they did not even have ammo to sell with the gun. He who hesitates! :pointdown: I will post pictures of it and the new cz 82 I just got with 500 rds. of JHP and 1000 FMJ 9mm Mak. I'm thinking of getting a P64 ,9mm Mak but I heard the DA trigger pull sucks. I wonder how much trouble it is to convert to the better trigger pull. I read here that some of you have done it. What do you think? IT's getting to where I won't do anything without first asking for advice from this forum. Thanks very much for your help. Rick,Aka JGC

Next time accept it, thank them, and send it to me :biggrin:

I even have ammo for firearms I don't own, I pick up small lots of this and that at flea markets and tag sales all the time. Last year a guy at a flea market had a pile of boxes of 9mm, .45acp. , .380. .357, and 38 special, full boxes at ten bucks each, knocked down to eight bucks as I took it all. There was even a box of .357 Federal hydrashock in the mix. Then the guy pulls out a box of bayonets and some M1 carbine magazines....yea, we did some business :lol:

So the guy I emailed never responded, and I was like WTF :angry4: As soon as he posted within a minute I responded so he should have still been online right? I then sent two text messages to his phone. :angry4: :angry4: Then email this morning and he replies instantly saying someone emailed me late last night and I'm meeting this morning. :angry4: :angry4: :angry4:
I reply well I emailed you instantly after your post and sent two texts, and he wont reply. DUMMY.
