Depends on what you consider cost. I still have 2 cases of $139 per K .308 surplus sitting in my closet. Am I supposed to feel bad for someone else's poor planning ? I am not running a charity. Am I supposed to sell my Mak-90 for $224 because that is what it cost me when I bought it ? Are you a commie or a fool ? Do you give away stuff to strangers all the time ? Do you whine a lot? Is this supposed to be different than the 700 other threads whining about high prices ? Markets go up and down on a daily basis. If the commie in office stops imported ammo today's prices will be a bargain.
