Firing Line update.....went there to drop off a gun for feed ramp work because that is the drop off for my gunsmith and asked for 380 ammo. They said they had some but would only sell it to me if I bought a new 380 from them or was gonna use the ammo on their range.....:banghead::banghead::banghead:

That sounds pretty desperate to me.

It's getting to be common practice. I can understand it. The indoor range in Battle Creek does the same thing. They were having people coming in and buying ammo, especially .380, and selling it on ebay at double, triple or quadruple the price while the regularlocal customers had to go without.

It's hard for them to sell guns when they don't have any ammo to go in them.

Wal mart in belleville has had federal 40 cal for 13.97 a box and is usually in stock. They have been out of 380, 9 and 45 but have usually had a nice pile of 40 cal everytime I go.
