Large Rifle Primers

[bstorric]

Just curious if anyone has been seeing large rifle primers in stores? I know they are in short supply right now... I keep looking and the spot on the shelf where they belong at the gun shop remains empty.

Our LGS has plenty of all sizes primers at 3X the normal price.

I learned my lesson during the Sandy Hook shortage. I can tell you where about 30k are, but they’re not for sale.

No, I’m in Virginia. Thanks though

I’d pay that right now…probably shouldn’t… but I would

Saw some the other day for the first time in a long time. They didn’t last long and prices way up in MA

Where in VA are you from? Any particular brand? Regular or magnums? I could most likely part with couple of hundred... I can't check right now. I'm riding a tree stand right now.

Winchester area, ideally magnums but I’d take regular especially if they were Winchester LRPs. Federal/cci would be my next choice

 

[whislpig]

Well it seems I have all of them. I have winchesters-federal regular and mag. And a few cci's- cci's are not mags. I have a few remingtons as well. You ever get to Roanoke?

 

[bstorric]

No, not really ever in that area. I appreciate the offer though

I will bet that was cabelas. The word went out fast on that. The mfg retail for CCI primers is now $60-63 per 1000. The new normal. To thier credit, Cabelas is not price gouging or auctioning their primer allotment on Gun Broker. Many of the local shops are not so honorable.

 

[bstorric]

Well I just grossly overpaid for 1000 large rifle primers on gunbroker…don’t ask how much. 1000 will last me a very long time. Just got sick of waiting to find them. It will be my luck they’ll show up at my local gun store next time I’m there. Oh well, I guess this is the new normal for the firearms industry

As long as you don't make a habit out of it...

 

[whislpig]

Sorry I couldn't help you...

Yeah, tell me about it... Luckily I wont have to buy primers for several years
