.30 carbine Prvi Partisan -
$37.89/50 as listed on AmmoEngine - supplied by AmmoBank
http://www.ammoengine.com/find/store_fr ... %253APP30C" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
NOT listed on AmmoEngine
.30 Carbine Prvi Partisan -
$21.49/50 on Ammunition to Go site (that's drastically lower than the AmmoBank listing on AmmoEngine)
http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/product_i ... dgrrpnrev0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
NOT listed on AmmoEngine
.30 Carbine Prvi Partisan -
$23.99/50 from cabela's site (that's also drastically lower than the AmmoBank listing on AmmoEngine)
http://www.cabelas.com/product/PPU-Rifl ... l+Products" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The two sites I listed are very popular and well known places, so I am befuddled by the lack of their presence on AmmoEngine's site. Seems like relying on AmmoEngine for the best deals available is not the best way to go. I haven't checked other calibers, but if the .30 Carbine is an example of their listings, I'll continue to a little more Google Foo before I buy.
The reason they aren't listed is most likely either the software Mike uses on Ammoengine won't work to crawl these sites or he hasn't been given permission by them to do it. A lot of the ammo deals sites depend on webcrawlers to either look for or update deals and they only draw from a specific number of vendors. That's where
http://www.gun-deals.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is different. It's user submitted deals and is kept up to date by the users and volunteer moderators and administrators. Gun-deals has close to 400 vendors that deals can be listed from and if you find a deal and the website's not listed submit the vendor to the site and as long as it meets the sites criteria it'll be added.

If you need ammo just look here.
http://gun-deals.com/ammo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Put in your zip code and it'll give you shipping estimates. Note: The shipping is only an estimate based on average cartridge weights and is not neccesarily what the vendor will charge. There's to many variables involved to make it more accurate than this but the UPS shipping calculator is used to come up with these. It's just to get you into the ball park. The ammo prices are what's listed on the sellers site at the time it was submitted unless someone has flagged it as incorrect in which case an admin. will correct it. You can also sign up to be notified when new ammo is submitted. Just go to "Alert Preferences" and fill in what caliber and other info. you require about what you want to be notified about and you'll get an email when new ammo is added. Here's an example. You guys have a running deals thread going. Some of you know I added the 7.62x54R rusted tins of 440/rds of Russian surplus for $67.99 the other day.
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8345&start=1845" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Well when I added those to gun-deals anyone signed up for alerts to that caliber in the price range they're in would have been notified even if I hadn't listed them on the forum. You have to be registered for this part. Email is private and never given out to anyone.
