Took a flyer and ordered four boxes of the CCI AR Tactical from Lohmans yesterday. Got an order confirmation, so I'll see what happens. Never ordered from them before, but I was feeling brave and/or stupid...take your pick.

I have some different back orders floating around so I check the credit card online every couple of days.

Also I was one of those that ordered the ammo in a can before from the peppers site Ready Reserve. Including shipping had it in less than two weeks. Now you pay upfront to "pre-order" from them. And they keep moving the date back and upping the price.

So I took the chance with Lohmans and if it doesn't work out I'll let CC company deal with it.

Very freaking weird, made me stop right there and close out, no way they have that much ammo, scammers.

Just in case you didn't notice its Saturday and there isn't one post for today that has ammo in stock (from any reputable or large company)...........or in other words these guys take weekends off ( not that I'm standing up for them, I don't know hem from Adam) if you don't hear back by Monday mid-day then worry, other than that follow my dads advise from way back when
" no news is good news"
( and they have checked out on the web as far as I can tell so think of them as a mom and pop store)

markthebeerguy · #**1056** 03-10-2013, 03:30 AM

No worries I sent them a message as well, if we don't hear back a quick call to he bank and some well placed reviews will stop their shenanigans

Just a friendly note, make sure you check the SSL certificate from these sites that are popping up and make sure that it's valid and from a reputable reseller. Some places like VeriSign and GeoTrust have much higher standards than say Godaddy. Make sure the little lock is closed. Scammers don't usually worry about things like valid SSl certs, but I wouldn't consider anything out of the question in the current frenzy.

Needless to say I bought Nothing.

The gun show in Springdale, Arkansas isn't nearly that insane. I agree there are some are charging that, but most of the vendors are keeping the 22lr prices around $50-$65/brick.

I saw a poor lady that just bought 2 bricks at $100/ea and I should have stepped in and told the seller to go to hell and take her around to a different stall with better priced ammo.

I had ordered too much online and was trying to sell/trade for just a couple of bucks profit to pay for the ammo I actually wanted. I ended up selling 14 bricks to a Boy Scout Troop Master for $54/brick (about my cost delivered).

hissycat · #**1064** 03-10-2013, 11:58 AM

hello, am new to the forum. have S&W 22A, not fired yet as waiting to take training/safety class first.

classes are just as hard to get as ammo! signed up 4 months ago.

glad I stocked up before sandy hook (which would never had happened if the mother locked up everything) but want to get more for training use.

is CCI shotshell any good? its in stock for quite a while now. or because it is expensive at 37cents. the most important thing I learned from this thread is the importance of Velocity for semiautos.

http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm...&prodID=CC0039

by the way, gmail is marking as spam anything related to guns, survival and preparedness. finally figured out why i wasn't getting the forum registration emails

thanks

hissycat · #**1065** 03-10-2013, 12:01 PM

If you are concerned about a website might be fraud, use a Temporary/One-Time credit card number such as Bank of America's ShopSafe. Once you have fraud, you will have to change the number and it can be a big hassle if that card was used for recurring billings.

.22 Shotshell has it's place for rats or snakes I guess but for all practical uses it's not any good. I would certainly not use it for any type of training using your 15-22.....it is very unlikely to be accurate or cycle reliably in your rifle.

Keep looking at the smaller places, they will have .22 ammo coming in fairly regular usually.

Let me know about the Centurion. I went through a brick last year but all in revolvers. Had some failure to fire, but they were real cheap back then so no biggie. I have been passing them up at a lgs here but maybe I'll try their minimum of two boxes as an experiment.
It would be awesome if the latest 15-22's would handle them!

I've got a case of Centurion 22lr 40gr - 1250fps coming this week. I should be able to report how they work in my 15-22 next weekend.

The 22 lr shotshell I used spreads too much once you re beyond 10ft from the target.

I just checked my bank account and it's already showing that hunters-warehouse has already taken the money out, so if I don't hear from the tomorrow I am guessing I am going to have to deal with this through my bank. They shouldn't already be taking money out if the product isn't in stock so they can ship it out.

Superbob · #**1075** 03-10-2013, 05:07 PM

Anyone figure out what the "Flag" thing is all about yet?

goodman · #**1076** 03-10-2013, 05:12 PM

New here, but been following this thread for sometime. Was able to score some nice purchases - thanks to the members on here.

Thought I contribute a little something about lohmanarms.com. I think this is a relatively new site. I Binged the contact number and came up with another site - Houston Annuites, Variable & Immediate Annuity, Get Quotes & Purchase Annuities Houston TX 77041.

The owner's number is also listed as a FFL dealer as noted here:
FFL Registry: Brian William Lohman Lohman Arms Company (Dealer)

I don't think I would personally order from a new site. I wouldn't believe that someone new to market would suddenly have a good deal amount of ammo in stock, his site now reads as everything is in backorder. I think I'll stick to the larger sites that read what's in stock and shows real time inventories. Just my opinion.

Someone earlier mentioned gander mtn in Lubbock. Not to much long ago their was an individual that was arrested for pulling concealed weapon during line, apparently he was upset about something.

Gander Mtn and Academy both have .22s coming in Lubbock but you have to get there early to get it. I found Fred's Emporium had some but was charging .15/ round and only leaving 2 boxes on shelf at a time. Didn't buy from him.

Here where I live in South Texas it's hit and miss with inventories. Don't understand Walmart's inventory system. Which a question that was raised earlier in thread. But at one point I was told if the website said we have it, then we have it. After lady went to back to find it she then told me that they didn't have any and I couldn't trust what website said. Two conflicting statements within 10 minute period does raise some questions.

Anyways my first post. Thanks again.

They have taken the $$ from my account as well. I've sent them an email asking for inventory status and a shipping date. I'll call the hicks number in the AM and try to get some answers. My spider sense tells me this is going to require bank intervention and a new card number.

Freemay2003 · #**1078** 03-10-2013, 05:45 PM

Just got back from the gun show again today in Springdale, AR. Warn everyone you know and see at gun shows about AmmoDirect.com's booth (big yellow sign). They are price gougers that prey on people that don't know what they are doing. They were selling 22lr for $100/brick and the federal bulk packs for $125. I should have gotten pics.

From what I gather they don't pay more than $40/brick. Typical markup is 40% ($55, which reputable sellers were asking)

I'm going to wait and see. Natchez has taken the money out of my account as well and nothing has been shipped yet. J&G pre-authorized and then shipped and then took the money out. I will be interested to see what you find out tomorrow. Right now it is still a pre-authorization. There are no additional charges and from looking on the web, the site seems legit. At this point I would just be curious if they have things on back order.

Yep, I got a case of Centurion from LuckyGunner last week for $445 shipped. Still not cheap but case prices seem to be rare and on a tear upwards.

I hear ya, the prices just keep climbing so I bought em while I could. The price I paid for them is what I used to get Mini-mags for. Still better than nothing right now.

Have you run Centurion 40gr through your 15-22 yet?

Still waiting on the shipment. If it doesn't function well in the s&w, I have plenty of other 22s to use it in.

Dear Krogen and DozerDave,

I really appreciate your offer of help. Am in the San Francisco Bay Area. Actually I just took the shotgun class yesterday (no waitlist), wow, the recoil!! my shoulder got bruises.

Have confirmed May 3 for handgun - ranges requires proof of taking a class before can shoot it. but at least I can practice shotgun aim until then (although more expensive at 75cent/shell)

thanks

thanks for the shotshell feedback. being in stock for a while, I know there had to be a reason nobody were grabbing these. and thanks to this excellent forum, understood Velocity and to look for warning such as primer-only, no powder, quiet, etc. but this particular product had no description or warnings.

PS: 12-GA ammo was easy to get but now starting to sell out (its much more expensive than 22LR, about $1 in box or 80 cents case quantities)

Because in Canada it is much more difficult to own a firearm. You have to be registered and pretty much anything and everything is on the banned list.

I'm no expert, but as I understand Canada would be Nancy Pelosi's idea of nirvana.

Something like a month wait if you get a permit for a handgun. IF! Want a rifle, take another class and see if they decide you are allowed. Shotgun, another permit. Want to hunt with any of these, another permit.

Mags are limited to I believe 5 rounds, maybe 10.

RobotechSam · #**1094** 03-10-2013, 09:04 PM

yeah but you cant ship to the US. so this is kind of pointless.

Just becareful, most of what they have is NOT recommended to be fired in a 15-22 per S&W.

What ammo doesn't work well in the MP 15-22?
