It's gonna be all I can do to keep three of those properly secured. If, at some point, I go ahead and enclose my sun porch to get more climate controlled square footage, then I'll consider a full sized safe. We'll see.

Went on an Ammo run this morning. I found during my weekly check that some prices were coming down.



I was able to score the following:


1) BULLETS 1ST: .308 WIN 175 GR SIERRA MATCH KING - 400 CT $376.00 per 400 rnds

2) CCI Standard Velocity Ammunition 22 Long Rifle 40 Grain Lead Round $65 per 1000 rounds.


3) 9MM 147GR Federal Premium Tactical HST JHP $159.80 for 200 rounds (didn't need so much of that as it's only for actual HD/SD and I have a ton of 9mm 115 luger for practice.



4) Federal American Eagle Ammunition - 45 Auto - 230 Grain Full Metal Jacket - 100 Rounds - Brass Case 7 cases for $342.65/


That should hold me for a bit.



All that remains now is cleaning up on some parts for the ARs that were "out of stock," including:


1) Armalite "Triangular" HG Caps. caleb We may have to pick a different cap as I can't find these anywhere, now. Hopefully, not permanently discontinued.


2) Magpul MOE Carbine Stock. I can get those one the Magpul website itself, but for $7.00 more than my regular supplier. If I get desperate, then perhaps, but I can wait.




All is well here. I have Jury duty Voir dire in another 2 week but, we'll see.

All the ammo orders above have been shipped. One is still in transit (expected Fri), but the others already received. Those three that I received shipped in one day!


Also, the above two parts items that were missing have been ordered and shipped. I ordered the stocks from Magpul directly, (and therefore had to pay full price for them, but...). They should also be arriving shortly.



Having done my weekly price check on ammo this morning, I saw AE .45acp 230 grain was down to .43 per round for a 1000 round box.



I got one. Hopefully, they haven't implemented the MCC ammo code yet! Might be the last batch I can get before that happens!

All inventory now received. Now, we'll wait and see what happens with those MCC codes.


Special thanks to:


1) US Armorment - 1 day shipping and had inventory in stock. Shipped from Bensalem, PA.



2) Bone Frog Gun club - 1 day shipping - for my Federal 9mm 147Gr HST.


3) Miwall Corp. - 700 rnds, .45acp - 3 day shipping.


4) Exammo - .22LR 1000 Rnds same day shipping


Excellent Experience with all.

Everybody stay safe. Looks like we'll certainly get sideswiped by Ian if not a direct hit. I'll check back in on Friday.

We're inside the cone, although it should be downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it gets this far north.

I have been watching this. Looks like it could be a ugly one....
