[QUOTE="KS Shooter2021, post: 2138518, member: 112199"] 100% agree. A local gun range opened/shop opened up near me 3 years ago, I joined and haven’t looked back. Bought multiple firearms and even used them to sell some on consignment. Bought ALL my ammo there and had them order some by the case for a discount. Guess who got the call when hard to find stuff came in? And they still have re-manufactured 9mm for about $19 a 50 round box. Limit one box......unless of course you happen to be friends with the owner. 😉 Fortunately I stocked up when it was 16 cents a round. So I only buy enough for my range session. My previous support and relationship with my LGS has paid dividends over and over. On a side note, I was in another town on business and stopped at a small local shop that I just happened to be driving buy. Saw he had a couple of boxes of CMP ball ammo for my M1 on the shelf. I put one on the counter and struck up a conversation with the proprietor, he was tired of people coming in and bringing their whole families in every day to buy up their limits of his small stock of 9mm (probably reselling). So he just took it off the shelf. After a pleasant 30 min conversation about guns, politics and the state of the country, he went in the back and came out and surprised me with a can of 240 rounds of the CMP ammo....at a pre Covid price. Only thing I buy online are things my LGS doesn’t stock or normally handle. Take care of these guys as they will take care of you. [/QUOTE]
