So you pretty much paid around $150 tops for the 27 if you bought your ammo more than a couple of months ago. Great score.

Man if I could get a quality .357/.41/.44 N frame for one of my 420 count cans of M855 I would do it in a heartbeat.
It is ridiculous that this is possible, or that a guy with a crappy part-built AR can trade it plus get cash for a 627 PC or pre model number N frame.

Great Score !!
This recent panic never ceases to amaze me. But 525 rd. boxes
of Federal .22Lr is going for over 50 bucks now here. And .223/5.56
is bringing dollar a round. I might have to break out some of my
.223 to sell if i can find a N-frame like that one.

That looks to have been a great deal.
I had I guy try to trade 900 rds of 223 ammo for a 95 win I wanted $600 for at the last lgs.
Starting to think I should have done it.
I know I would have traded it for your 4" N frame.

A buck a round? Hard to believe that kind of price for 223/5.56 ammo. Is that for military ball? I remember buying UMC ball in the yellow box for like 2.99/20, back when I had a 223 model 70 about 25 years ago, That was one of the attractions of a 223 vs a 22-250 or something like that-- cheap surplus ammo. How times have changed.

Wow, what a trade. I need to bring some of my surplus 308 and see what I trade for it.
Nice score!

Congratulations. That was a heads up move on your part. I guess one has to be in the right place at the right time and know it.
I don't think it is just guns and ammo. I had some pistols and revolvers laying around doing nothing so decided to collect everything I needed to reload for those. I started last year and I'm glad I did. There are plenty of shortages for powder, primers and some reloading gear. Lots of people now want to learn to roll their own because of ammo shortages. I'm just glad I started when I did or I would be SOL trying to put it all together now. I'm pretty much set, all I need now is one more 44 spl.

That was one sweet deal! 
And he still likes you too? 
The Mini looks great and the 27...stunning!

Did you have to run out of the store?
It's always good to hear about the buyer getting the better end of a deal.
Maybe I need to load up a bunch more .223 ammo and see what I can trade it for.
You made out like a bandit.

This panic buying is ridiculous. Congratulations on your deal. That's amazing. But my god the panic buying has taken on a life of it's own. Right now there is a good chance that even a 10 round mag limitation isn't going to fly. The whole gungrabbing frenzy has died down and while it can start up again this situation is not in touch with reality. I expect it will collapse in the future, but until then ......... it's just stupid. Wish I could be more eloquent, but I can't.
Just glad that I've been stocking up for the past few years and I'm not part of this silliness.

Trading consumables for hard goods seems like a good idea to me. I believe this trade was fair considering the low basis each party had in the trade items.
