    Any shop should be able to do you a good deal if you buy a full case, normally 5000 rounds. Maybe email all your local shops? I have found offering to prepay and having them add it to there next...

    WallyR liked post by gadgetman On thread : Guys, what single shot "quick swap" guns do we have available to us?
    Sure I've seen them advertised here with two or three barrel options as a kit. Even if buying complete there are still single shots, unlike the blasers and AR's mentioned.

    WallyR liked post by 300_BLK On thread : Cheap 308 Reloads
    If your a reloader and want really cheap then consider cast bullets. I have seen some accurate loads and they are reloaded for bugger all. Just an option.
