John Wayne Commemorative Ammo

Just came back from Academy sports here in Alabama.

They had about 10 boxes of the John Wayne (1907-2007) 30-30.

It was the first time I had seen them in a store. They were $24.00 a box

They had none of the 44-40 or 45colt ammo, which I definitely would have bought.

If anyone's looking for the 30-30 let me know.

I bought a box of the .45 Colt a couple weeks before Christmas. Bout had a stroke. Almost $50.00. OUCH! But for a one time purchase I guess It's all right. The gun shop had cases of all the calibers so he might still have some.

For some reason the John Wayne ammo is thick on Gunbroker now too.

Why not just pull a cartridge out of yer ammo locker, set it on a cotton ball, and put it beside a picture of John Wayne?

Call it "The John Wayne Commemorative Bullet".

Same deal, but it would cost less.

FWiedner-

'Cuz I think they have "special" powder in them

Really I agree but some people like collecting things like that and there's nothing wrong with it. Down the road they may be able to sell it for a small fortune and then I'd be kicking myself for not doing it too!
