You know those days when you put on a jacket you haven't worn in a while and find a $20 in the pocket? Totally makes your day. Well, I went to the range on Saturday and grabbed a range bag I haven't used in a while. In it I found SIX!! PS90 mags I had totally forgotten about. All LOADED!!. Totally made my day. One of them happened to be loaded with SS195. Still in such a good mood that I am willing to spread the joy to a new FsN owner. PM me and I can make you a heck of deal.

(go ahead, say it. How does a guy forget about 6 PS90 mags? Getting older seems to have several advantages. I just can't remember what the others are)

What is so hard about the concept of NOT using the classifieds for discussions?
Posts related to the sale/purchase/trade of the item(s) listed in the OP only.

So I started this thread just to move any/all discussion matter - it's a lot easier and much less time consuming for mods than searching for an appropriate thread into which to move the posts. The subject line of the individual post will show the parent thread it is from.

Posting/piggy-backing another member's thread for marketing one's own stuff, very rude.
If you have stuff to sell, make your own thread! If you don't have the post count, contact jmz5 for a paid membership.

You're welcome to bring your discussions here to start with, even post a ('a' is singular, meaning one) reference link in the classifieds ad to show there is a discussion going on elsewhere about that topic. Not everyone needs to post a "posted in the discussion thread," "posted in the discussion thread," "posted in the discussion thread..."
For that matter you can start your own discussion thread & reference the particular classifieds thread.

How is it piggy backing when I have the item that they put in the "looking to buy section?" It's cool man, no biggie. You can place a bid on GB if you want the ammo I got for free and was going to pass along to other FsN lovers.

It became piggy backing when you posted in that thread about your other ammo for sale. Ammo that was unrelated to the OP. Which, in your case, could also be seen as an attempt to skirt the 50 posts rule.

But you're not the only to try it recently, you just happen to be the lucky one that made me decide that a more direct approach is necessary. It was more timing & and an increasing frequency of that sort of behavior than anything else.

just a quick reminder to anyone sending ammo UPS. Please remember to insure your packages. I forgot to insure ONE package that I sent to Dallas, Texas ( a box of S5 & T6 ) and wouldn't you know it, it's been stolen. Bleeping THIEVES. It only costs 90 cents per $100 of insurance, so even one box that goes out, I have been insuring for a thousand dollars. I am really in disbelief right now. UPS supposedly loaded the package onto a truck on the 6th, and it never made it to it's destination. UPS workers are union, and get paid VERY well. To take a risk and steal a package clearly marked ORM-D makes it an even bigger gamble for the thief, but I guess they really don't care. This box of S5 was one of the last, I pulled it off GB and sold it privately, and if anyone happens to see it pop up in the forum or for sale anywhere, please let me know. ( yes i know there are other boxes of S5 & T6 out there, but I have the lot # for the S5, as well as the lot # for the T6 and if it's being sold out of Dallas TX by a NEW seller, that would raise suspicion. If the package is somehow found, I will update, but it's been 5 days of searching ( UPS hub managers have been looking for it, and they haven't come up with anything. So the last person to scan it, or the driver are the most likely culprits. I at least hope UPS does investigations down to the cameras, because i know they prosecute, and since it was labeled ORM-D, they said they put more emphasis on tracking it since it could be, well anything that falls in that category. ( just venting, btw, cause I'm gonna have to eat the $520 )- Be well everyone

I'm sorry to hear about that.

On another forum, one user posted pictures of his ORMD package - one of a crate of ss197.

It had been torn apart, and they literally urinated on it.

It doesn't require imagination to realize that it was a gun-hating worker who knew ORMD was usually marked for ammunition (among other things), checked by tearing into it, and let his emotions and liquids fly loose.

Comical, disgusting, and pathetic.

by fd57
jckilla -

Did you UPS confirm the driver never delivered the package at the destination address?

IE, what information about the last scan does UPS have?

Just trying to determine if UPS never delivered it and they have no scan of it being delivered, or if UPS says they delivered it but recipient says he/she never received it.

Re: Discussions from Classifieds

Posted: 11 Feb 2013, 07:12
by fd57
To add to this: take photos and or video of the item(s) as you package it, in whatever packaging, and then sealing the box.

Had one shipment recently wherein the recipient said that one of 3 items was not in box. Weight shows all 3 were in the box, but my word against the recipients, so without photos/videos I just sent another item out. I'm now back to videoing the packaging up and sealing of packages.

Re: Discussions from Classifieds

shows it was scanned, then on vehicle for delivery - never made it to the recipients house. It was last scanned in Dallas, TX at the hub there, shows -on truck for delivery. Looks to me as if the driver is the responsible party.

Re: Discussions from Classifieds

Posted: 11 Feb 2013, 12:29
by fd57
Absolutely. That was the last scan - on truck for delivery. At that point A) still on truck, B) mis-delivered with other package(s) at another address (and not returned), C) purposely stolen, or D) something else.

Have you asked the intended recipient how much ammo they have ordered, and if they have ever had an issue with non-delivery?

Re: Discussions from Classifieds

Yeah. He seems like a stand up guy. UPS delivered another package that day to his wife, but the ammo wasn't there. The investigation will be concluded soon, right now all I can do is wait.

Re: WTB .22 LR bulk

I have not seen any .22 LR on the shelves since Obummer got re-elected. I don't have enough either. I usually shoot 1,500 rounds each summer. I only have enough for a year and a half at that rate. Then what?

I did not stock up because I thought 19.99 for a box of Federal Bulk Pack (525 rounds) was ridiculous. I mean... I can remember paying 7.99 for the same thing at Cabela's a few years ago. Now a box of 525 is selling for $50 plus on GunBroker. And that's the only place I can find it. I would gladly pay 19.99 now... if I could find some.

Re: WTB .22 LR bulk

I remember only a couple years ago, when I would open up the Naval ROTC range at the University of Texas at 3am in the morning during finals week, shoot 1500 rounds of .22 while training for NRA collegiate. Those were good de-stressing, cathartic moments.

I'll cherish the freedom in those memories, forever.

The Naval ROTC range was demolished the year I graduated (a year and a half ago). We were so blessed. It was an open range, one of the very few any college in America had. Most are tiny, stuffy, and have lanes that restrict movement.

And now that ammunition prices are high... we should be so thankful we've gotten the opportunity to have shot so much and so many platforms. Think about it. How many co-workers - people who have never even talked about guns in their life, before - have come up to you and asked you about purchasing a firearm? Or tell you they just got one?

They've never experienced the joy and pure, unadulterated fun of just going out there and exercising their freedoms while making bangbangpewpews.

We are so blessed. Instead of getting bitter at ammo prices, so-called gouging, etc., we should look back and be thankful we have had experiences that so many can only dream of in America, and overseas, across the world.

Smile, always. :)

Mike, team useD the Swiss .22 ammunition, which has nickel plated brass casings, and extremely consistent pressures and burn. They shot these out of match grade Pardinis and Benellis.

Because I like to give the special finger to snobby, high-brow competition gear, (especially foreign ones from Italy),

I used a vintage bone stock Ruger Mk I and Federal 550 bulk pack ammunition.

You can probably search my name up on the NRA Collegiate database. I beat a lot of Aggies and their $3000 match .22LR guns with my $200 AMERICAN RUGER. I deserve no credit as it isn't an attribute of my skill with such a mocked and venerable cartridge, but to the Made-in-America Ruger Mk I that had hundreds of thousands of rounds down it.

Because,

'MURICA.


If you want good standard .22LR, use CCI. If you want good match .22LR, use Wolf match, RWS Gold match, or LaPua. A box of 50 for some of them? $24+

I will always use bulk pack because Blue gives no ****'s. Match grade is overrated, compared to my sub-MOA rocks. I'm kidding. Match grade would get .30 groupings at 15 meters, while bulk pack would get around 1 inch.

I must have eaten coOkiEz or something, because this post seems really hyperactive.

Mike, just avoid Remington ANYTHING ammo and you'll be fine. I've probably shot 18-25 different lines of .22LR ammunition. If you want detailed information on which ammunition or platform shoots MOA/sub-MOA out of each other, send me a PM so I don't have to bore the forum with .22LR test results.

Lastly,

'MURICA & TEXAS FYEAAAAAA.

Good info Blue. I always love to hear from someone who has tried it all. I usually shoot the Federal bulk stuff, even when I compete (although that's not often). I too have had bad experiences with Remington. I bought a bulk pack where 1 in 10 were duds. One in every magazine on average. That is terrible QC.

I also like CCI and have a pretty good stash of that. It's more expensive than the Federal bulk however.

My favorite .22 is made in Switzerland. It's a Sig/Hammerli Trailside. I also recently bougtht a Ruger MK III 22/45 Lite, but I have not fired a round through it yet. I put a snap cap in it to try the trigger and thought it was terrible. So I bought a Volquartzen trigger upgrade kit for it.

I think that is awesome that you did that well with a stock Ruger. Did it have a stock trigger too?

Thanks again for the info.

It was bone stock, but Ruger Mk's have good-enough triggers, IMO. I have not tried the new Lite's, they aren't my cup of tea. Too flashy. I like the subdued and don't like standing out in the crowd.

Hammerli's are nice. The NRA Collegiate scene use them, also. Along with S&W 41's.

Yeah, stay away from Remington.

Everyone is making new threads without checking to see if there is already an existing thread. Yes, I realize that means more mouse clicking - sorry.

To do this:
In the Tactical Search window in top right, type (or copy/paste) in the screen name & press the enter key. This will bring up anything with that member's name in the thread title and any thread his/her/its screen name is in.
OR
Just below the Tactical Search window in top right there is a link, "Advanced search" - click on that.
Type (or copy/paste) the screen name in the keyword search, then next to "Search within:" select "Topic titles only" & then click on "Search"
You don't even have select the subforum as, odds are, there wouldn't be a thread titled by a user name elsewhere on the public forum. Yes, there are a couple of exceptions but the list will be short, just select the thread from the feedback forum.

Agreed, you should be able to press charges & get your gun back unless he had your permission to sell it.

That said, when I sold a couple of my guns to a store, they didn't ask for proof of ownership nor did they run the serial numbers to see if the guns were stolen. In any case, you still should have legal recourse against the uncle at the very least.

Ok if you want the back story, first I got screwed by my insurance company. I used USAA for banking and insurance and updated my information when I moved, and much later I randomly get an automated call saying they are going to cancel my insurance immediately if I don't pay my bill. When I look it up I find that instead of notifying me that I was a few dollars short for the next six months insurance payment, the insurance section was happy to bill the bank section twice a month causing the bank to deduct their $60 bounced payment fee until there literally was just change left in that savings account. Only then did they call, when the next bounced payment wasn't going to get them another fee. So I find out I owe them for the last 5 months insurance that was never paid, the next six months insurance if I want to keep them, and that the money they soaked up in fees before notifying me of all this is just gone (which was just shy of paying the last 6 months insurance). Also its my fault, because I didn't know updating my address/email/phone in the website for the insurance didn't update it for the bank side too, even though its the same exact same website, apparently they don't talk and the bank was sending those bounce payment notifications to a ship floating around in the gulf (and the insurance was happy to let that happen until the bank wouldn't get their $60 fee again, funny how that works).

So on that note, I needed to come up with money fast. My uncle is a nice guy but not extremely knowledgeable when it comes to guns. I instructed him how to use and gave him some ammo for his first one, which was a bare bones stock glock 17 he way overpaid for from some gun store not too long ago. I told him when he showed it to me that it was nice but its a $600 gun at best that he could have picked up a perfectly functional used one for $400-500, and that $850+ was them taking him for a sucker. Anyways I explained my situation to him, that I didn't want to sell my fiveseven but I need $1000 immediately to restore my car insurance, so if he loaned me the money he could hold the gun as collateral. I figured when I had the money I could buy it back, and even if he said he wanted to keep it, it would still be in the family and he could give it to my aunt if she tried it and liked it (in other words, if she tried it at all). I also clearly explained that while I'm only asking to borrow $1000 from you, its a $1200 gun + the mount/sight + all the extras and such I have for it, that I could easily get $1400-1600 for everything if I wanted to sell it online and never see it again. My last words when I left him for the gun were "Please don't do anything stupid and take it to a pawn shop or something, if you want your money back tell me and I will put it up for sale, so I can pay you back plus interest"

Well, without consulting me at all he brought it to the same gun store that took him for a ride on the glock. They saw the red dot sight, the pile of 30 round mags with it, and the hogue grip on it and asked him how much he paid for it, and he said "Uhhh $1000". So yea, they took him at $800 for it. It's hard to be mad at him when (besides the fact that I specifically told him not to do that) he really didn't know any better, and besides that he <profanity> himself out of $200 on the deal as well... Normally I would feel inclined to pay him back the money he lost in that deal, but really he <profanity> me out of more money doing it than he lost himself. I can't and wouldn't press charges on him, but now I know not to trust him with anything more valuable than a pencil. I kind of want to be an <profanity> and say next time you want to go to that gun store, just slow down and throw some $20's out the window on your way past, it will be cheaper than actually going in.

Can't? I still think you could since ownership was never transferred. But it is your call and no matter how wrong you are for not sticking it to him in some way :p there isn't anything we can do about it.


Except maybe flip you some grief over it :laugh: :p


And I could (& would) definitely be mad at someone for doing something like that - family or not.
As for the bank & insurance, anything to get more money right?

9 replies and only one (maybe two) actual reason posted to get the ammo at cost. Should be easy for that person to get the ammo if people can't do any better.
Luckily I don't need any but I am curious what the Fightclub ammo is.

I emailed Galco about a shoulder system for the MKII. They emailed me back and it didn't look promising. I'd post the email but apparently I deleted it. As of right now, it didn't look like they were planning on making one, at least not for a while.

I emailed them aswell. Here is the reply.

Hello Mr. Yelraek,

Unfortunately, the only deciding factor in when a product will be available is the demand for the product. Please fill out a product request form for that firearm type and holster model. Should Galco come out with any fits, they will be listed on the web site as soon as the first production run is scheduled and we can accept orders.

So. We should all put in a product request form.

Re: Discussions from Classifieds

by NWmissouriman
Yep, that was identical to what mine said. Maybe if a few hundred more people emailed them, they would put it in the lineup. I have put the MKII in the VHS system, and I might use it occasionally, but it's just not a real great fit. I'll try it out a while and see if I can stretch it. Maybe after a month or so I'll find it acceptable.

I'm not sure if this is allowed... moderators please stop me if not. But here is the link to Galco's product request form.

There isn't any commitment to buy the product. It just seems to be a form for people to say what they want.

Keep me posted on how well it fits.

WTS means "Want to Sell"
FDE means "Flat Dark Earth" and is in reference to the color of the gun.
