You've probably heard that before, its Latin for "buyer beware"
Found a guys selling .45 ammo on gunlistings this week. Prices were good and he had some Winchester Ranger +P HP ammo as well. Good price on the range ammo but about list on the HP and the bulk Winchester white box he had. Anyway, I said screw it and agreed to buy it all...
Met us this week. Guy pulled up and saw some stickers on my truck, conversation then went more or less as follows...
him: so you were in the Army?
me: yeah, Army guard 21 years...and you?
him: I was a marine.
me: oh cool...what did you do?
him: I was in the adjutant office...but I didn't spend any time there, I was always out in the field blowing stuff up.....
Yep, because as I know from my admin training in the Army that
demolitions is taught right between preparing a memo and non-judicial
judgement sections of the course material...bet you got to work with
some Recon unit too there Chesty....
Guy came with more ammo than I realized he had and ran me more money than I had budgeted but I said "what the hell" and just got it all (about 800 rounds, or so I thought).
Oh yeah, and the guy
shorted me about half box of ammo too in the deal in one of the boxes of the Winchester Ranger, a handful of ball rounds were in the middle so the weight would not seem so much off. No honor there Mr. J
Head (and as not to disrespect marines I only use that term with
marines I like or extremely dislike...this guy is the later at this point). I emailed him with a pic (same below) saying "Thanks", don't expect a response and really don't want one either.
