I was in Gander today looking at their ar selection to feel them.

I wanted to pick up 1k small rifle primers yeah right they got tons of them must have had 20 to 30k all marked at $5 per 100 and BR2 and BR4 marked at $8 per 100 $80 for 1k of primers that is just regodamdicouls. I can pay 1/3 of that on line with shipping and hazmat.

2 months ago, one of my IDPA buddies emails me and says he's got a line on CCI primers, all sizes, $0.02 ea. $100/5000 primers.

I picked up 10000. Shoulda got 25000. Oh well.

It would have been easy to sell 1K for 32-35 ea. Damn gunstores here want $42K for Winchester and Magtech. $46 for winchester and $48-54 for CCI and Federal.

I've got some old primers with stickers on them for $1.15 a sleeve. Imagine being able to buy 10K for $115 right now. You'd be the Bill Gates of guns.

I have wandered through a Gander store a few times, laughed and left. Went to a Sportsman's Warehouse (Columbia, SC) and bought stuff, not a hard choice which big-box store to do business with. Nor which one seeks to gouge their customers.

Gander is for killing time and looking at stuff, not buying!

I refuse to go there anymore, their pricing sux

[skullcrusher]

It's not just Gander. Cabela's, Dick's, Bass Pro...hell it is most of the big namers. Damn proud of their stuff and not just firearm related. And still I get at least 2 catalogs from Cabela's a month and a sale flier every damn week.

Gander also owns Overlands which is an on-line store for tons of stuff. I wonder if they are not having trouble there??

I just got Small and Large pistol primers from Wideners (Widener's Reloading and Shooting Supply INC) for under $30.00/1000. Had to pay the fee for shipping.

It looks like they are out of small pistol primers at this time.

Powder Valley has a little better prices, when they do have primers. Got Wolf Large Pistol for $25.50 per K , and CCI-500(Small Pistol) at $27.00 per K. I ordered 5K of each, and powder also, in two different orders, over the period of a month. I do try to buy bulk primers/powder, as I can, to spread out the $22.00 HazMat Fee. Graf's actually has better prices than PV, but is at least 6 months wait/back order...I have another 10K on order with them????

There is a Gander Mountain in the town next to me and I'm always amazed at their prices on everything from guns, ammo, reloading supplies, hunting gear, you name it. I honestly don't see why or how people are paying those prices. I did manage to find a good deal their recently but it's rare.
The only thing you can get there at a good price is the Gander Mountain line of clothing which is actually nice and durable.

Wasn't that long ago that I was paying $15 per 1000. Unfortunately things "CHANGE".

It has been 15-20 years since primers were $15.00 per K.--
