Yikes prices are about as high as gunbroker. Ive been holding out and slowly getting ammo bought and stored away as it comes in at the local sporting goods and farm stores. A limit of 2-3 boxes at a time but its slowly getting stockpiled. Natchez, sigsauer, and federalpremiumhave been getting ammo at very reasonable prices in every now and then, but you have to jump on it the moment it drops or its all gone. Got lucky at walmart and bought 6 boxes of 333 round 22LR for $16 per box right when they opened, and last saturday another walmart just got in a shipment of 22lr, but a limit of 3 boxes. Only was able to get 50 round boxes for $3.47 per box.
Arms list is different from gun broker in that you need to meet face to face to do purchases. Is the same as the difference of crags list to eBay. I have had no luck purchasing weapons on arms list, every offer I made I'm sure was a scam. (noted by people wanting you to send money after offer).
So you don't need to pay the price asked. You can offer less. I was looking constantly since my last purchase in November for a reasonable in today's market (8 cents per round or less). I look for large quantities that people are posting with prices for small lots like 500 rounds. Then I offer to by it all for a lower price. But your also limited by area, I can look in a larger area so I keep it in a 1 hour (200 mile) flight range.
To purchase store ammo here you need to start camping out about 5am for 9 am store openings. And are then limited to 2 boxes of what ever size they are selling.
I also just scored a purchase from gun broker on Sunday.
https://www.gunbroker.com/item/893779284It's a 1949 (first year they sold 4") versions of the k-22. The guy posting it screwed up in that it did not show in any S&W 22 revolver searches. I only happened to see it do to other stuff from the same seller I was looking at. I'm looking for a model 29 pre lock.
