Hey fellas my first wife and I got a divorce about 7 years ago. My new wife and I do not shoot. Unfortunately I have hundreds and hundreds of boxes of 16 gauge ammo. Nos CF ammo I meann like hundreds of flats. CF hulls once fired like twelve maybe thirteen k .activ hulls by the bag alot.i bought up alot of 16 gauge stuff. My new wife wants me to eliminate stuff as I have many closets full of wads and hulls.,powder and primers. Is there any market for this stuff today? Can I ship ammo? Can I ship powder and primers? Is there anyone interested in buying and picking up local enough 16 gauge stuff to last a lifetime? Let me know your thoughts. I have 2 mec 9000s and a mec Jr I used for comp target loads.
Thanks
Joe |

Fn16ga Mark if you find this give me a jingle. I lost your number over the years. Guys I would like to sell everything at a discounted rate. I want it all to go to 16 gauge community. It is really good stuff I just have no use for it anymore. But unfortunately I'm not going to do a one or two hundred sell. It would take the wife and I way to much time for shipping. I am very sorry for the inconvenience but I would like someone to buy it all.
Thanks
Joe |

Donate it with your 525s to your local youth shooting sports team. They will find a way to make good use of it. Otherwise you might have to sell it to a LGS for 20 cents on the dollar. Guys at our club are giving me their 16 ga ammo for free.
Best of Luck,
B. |

It pains me to see this as I am not in the position to take advantage of this opportunity. If I was, I would rent a box truck and drive to you. I have a feeling that with the amount you are getting rid of it may need a special license or permit to move across state lines.
I hope it all works out for the best. |

If anyone here buys this lot of ammo, I’d be interested in some Activ hulls.
Thanks

browningsweet161977, I checked with a friend at LGS. Unfortunately no interest. No demand there for 16 ga supplies. I have one more ammo distributor to reach out to this weekend. He ships and receives nationwide.

Is there any market for this stuff today? yes
Can I ship ammo? yes
Can I ship powder and primers? no
Is there anyone interested in buying and picking up local enough 16 gauge stuff to last a lifetime? yes
I have 2 mec 9000s and a mec Jr I used for comp target loads.Let me know your thoughts. My thoughts: You need a list and pictures of what exactly you have for sale. You need to put a price on it. Until you do that, everybody is just making a guess at what you have and whether they want it and whether it is worth the trek to get it from you.
Why are you abandoning the shooting world? Just curiousity on my part. |
