The term 'juice harp' is one that was adopted in an effort to come up with a more 'politically correct' name. But it otherwise has no claim to the device. Similar to how we now say 'catch a tiger by the toe....'

A friend of mine (Viet Nam Infantry Lt, but gentle as can be) bought the last 10 boxes of .22 ammo from Wally World. A man behind him got mad, and asked him to sell some of those he had just bought. My friend said "No". This jerk then punched him in the shoulder and again said "Sell me some!". "No, thanks" said my friend. He walked out of the store and Mr Jerk followed him, loudly yelling to sell him some. He once again punched my friend in the shoulder. Friend caught the eye of a person nearby, and asked him if he saw the punch. Person said "Yes". My friend then hit Mr. Jerk in the Adam's apple with a knuckle which collapsed Mr. Jerk on the ground gurgling for about 20 seconds, at which time he got crying and coughing and apologized to my friend. I suspect that Mr Jerk learned more about manners in that exchange than anything he would read in Emily Post

Harry.I was at Atlanta a couple of months ago. One of the dealers had a G grade for sale. It was about 60 percent and he was asking 2500.00. It was worth 1200.00 to 1500.00 max. He would'nt budge.

Just can't seem to make myself pay that yet.They tell me at Walmart that people wait in line for them to bring them out and buy them all instantly. They are selling them online. Gerald

Keep trying, Harry. I've acquired 5000 rounds of 22 lr over the last 4 months. The supply is loosening up, but you can't expect it delivered to your door.

As for 22 magnum - $13 for 50 is what that stuff costs and has for some time. Sell your guns before you wait to acquire the stuff for less money on a consistent basis. Supply of 22mag and 17hmr has never been hard to find. Demand is not high. It was $13 a box before Sandy Hook. $13 after.

Most Walmarts won't sell you more than 3 boxes of any ammo at a time because otherwise some jerk will walk up and buy the last 10 boxes off the shelf right in front of you, and then laugh about it to their friends with some embellished story.

22ammo is starting to become available here in NY. Just bought two mimi bricks of Remington (225 hollowpoints) for $10.75 per mini brick. My son in law gave me a Remington 1/2 gallon tub of 22s for Christmas. He gave one to my son, also as my son was complaining that I shot up all his shells. My son in law is a real "keeper".

Our gun show in Savannah's motto is (or used to be) "bring your money and bring your honey, 'cos we've got jewelry too" I don't think there was any metal or wood in the whole show, unless it was on some of the jewelry. All synthetic plastic.
