is it weird to have ammo for a firearm you dont have?

[x0ra]

No, for a simple reason: the Canadian market. I buy in anticipation when deal are there. I even have STANAG magazines, but haven't found the right NR rifle to fit them in. Beside that, I know I want a Mosin, so it justify the x54r, CanAm is now sold out for these. As for x39, I buy the stuff when it's available. I know it literally *disappear*, especially the non-corrosive stuff.

I bought a .300 win mag years ago. Didn't really care for it so I sold it. When I cleaned out the corners I found that I had about 340 rounds of .300 and no rifle to shoot it. Obviously I had planned to do a little bit of shooting with it. Kept it around for about 2 years, then the wife's cousin bought a .300, so I traded it off to him. Nothing wrong with having ammo for a gun you don't own.

Makes for a good excuse to buy a gun in that caliber.

My thought exactly,actually I have done that a couple of times or more.My wife has never caught on......yet.

You are just planning ahead, you know you will buy a rifle for it someday.

 

[blasted_saber]

Im going to be picking ammo I see for a good price for a gun I dont yet own but am 99% sure I will in the near future.

I've got a couple box's of .22maggie and some .308's lying around..........speaking of which I should get around to buying the m-14 to go with them.

I have 357 rem max ammo, no gun, 762x39 ammo, no gun, 3030 ammo no gun, so nope not weird.

 

[KeNd0]

Very weird. Like having womens clothing in your house with no wife or girlfriend.

 

[Grummpy]

I always buy the ammo before the gun, now just find the right
gun to fit the ammo.

its like owning money you haven't spent yet

 

[onmywaytoimpact]

its like owning money you haven't spent yet

Nobody does that. Didn't you know this is a spend first earn later society?
As for ammo, only 2 at the moment that I don't have guns for. Took real restraint not to pick up a few crates of x39 when it was cheap too, but I Am Strong!

 

[chappy]

i have ammo, brass dies and bullets for guns i don't own YET. i'm sure i will use it one day. the most is 15 boxes of buck shot and i don't own a shotgun.

 

[mudgunner49]

I sure hope it's not weird - I've got ammo, components, dies and accessories/parts for guns that I either don't own at all or haven't owned for years/decades...

Nope not weird. Could be planning to get the gun or could have sold the gun and still have the ammo. No different than having goose ammo and being a deer hunter. Or like having old scopes that you upgrade from or sold the gun and kept the scope or bought the scope and not mounted it yet.
