Do you open ammunition boxes in the store?

The chain store I used to buy at would make you open the boxes before you leave with it incase anyone pocketed some of the rounds so you could catch it before returning was impossible

>Needs to be an armorer to question wether unpacking a sealed product without buying it is right.

Are you listening to yourself?

I've never done this but I suspect he's probably the type of guy that doesn't have the patience to read the box to see what it is. If anything ammo stores that store ammo behind the counter should clearly and largely label their ammo.

It's not as bad as it sounds, I starting helping an old family friend out at their shop when they were having employee issues several years ago, I actually enjoyed it so I stuck around. His son is the actual manager but he shows no interest in it so I've been slowly taking on more and more responsibility at the place, I'll probably end up buying it from them in a few years.

>Also, stop acting like youre some bigshot gun expert, you work in a gunshop lmao. Have you even been to armorer school?

Who is acting like a big shot..? What did I say that indicated this, I am genuinely confused by this statement.
As a matter of fact I am and a certified Glock armorer, not that it's that significant, it's a 2 day course.

Did you even read the greentext?

I did this recently to see if the 45 aarp rounds had large or smol primers. It is important.. to me!

Weird, those aren't freedom units

I do but I take great care in not damaging the boxes. If I cant open it without damage I stop.

Never opened boxes, new it was improper. Then I bought a square box of .44 Mag, some fucker had stolen the rounds out of the middle. Never getting burned again and I open them all to check before I buy.

A not factory sealed box at a pawn shop? yes, I'd absolutely open it first.

Do you open the carton of eggs before you buy them?

Yeah, but i put it back after.

If I can open it without doing any damage then I might. Otherwise no.

thats about $21US

I Always open the ammo boxes
How else are you supposed to get an open box discount ?

yeah of course, but eggs are way more fragile than ammo.

Thanks friendo

They are factory sealed, we don't buy/pawn ammo unless an employee is willing to buy it.

Only open it when you're going to buy it. Otherwise what the fuck are you doing? Yeah, make sure it doesn't have any glaring errors that have to be sent back to the manufacturer, but then buy it dipshit.

>They are factory sealed
then no. that guy's just a fat fucking moron.

Still like to physically see what I'm about to buy though. That and I just like looking at the rounds in general: if I never did that out of curiosity like a jackass, I'd never have appreciated the size and heft of .45-70, or how fucking long some of the belted magnums are. Seeing pics is one thing, handling adds so much dimension to the understanding

Not if it compromises the box so some poor smuck dumps 50 9mm's all over the ground. Buy the ammo fatso, if you have a poor quality round dems da breaks.

Not sure where you're from bud, but at my local market none of the egg cartons are glued shut.

Idiots like you are the reason eugenics should be normalized

Yes I did, he opened a box to look at the ammo inside instead of reading it. Like I said was probably too lazy to read the box. I was just pointing out my aggression with ammo stores that store behind the counter not on shelves and how you basically need to lean forward to read the boxes and prices. Would be nice if there was a general list printed out or a sign.

>I like to compare bullets to my cock. It makes me feel better about myself.

>I said was probably too lazy to read the box.
nigga what
Reading half inch tall text for half a second vs fumbling with the box, pulling out the tray thingy, picking out a round, and then not even being able to ascertain the bullet weight?

>you basically need to lean forward to read the boxes and prices. Would be nice if there was a general list printed out or a sign.
Bruh you need glasses. The fuck?

you might have a lottery win coming next week.

not sure I really understand how this conjecture is moving OP's question forward?

>using the same logic as anti gunners

Colossal faggot detected

Who said anything about glued egg cartons, and where did I admit to opening boxes that a glued? I rarely ever see glued shut boxes.

People with reading comprehension like you should be euthanized

Nope. Eating produce you don’t pay for is theft, you mental midget.

I'll open a box of ammo, or anything else for that matter, but not if it's securely shut (like glued, as it was here).

In particular I remember looking at a box of ammo once and I could not for the life of me find anywhere on the box of it stating if it was brass, steel, etc. so I popped it open.

Again, it wasn't glued or anything. When I saw it was, as I suspected, brass, I bought it.

In that case the price was good, so I couldn't be totally sure. Plus ammo sales were final, so if I got steel cases, which I didn't want, I couldn't do anything about it.

But yeah, fuck that guy. It's a glued box, leave it alone.

>I'm only pretending to be retarded.

>buying ammo

I've always had the employee open it up for me. Did this when the guy was explaining to me the difference between some of the shotgun rounds I was looking at, another time when we were trying to figure out what variant of .22 went into the gun my wife got as a gift.

>T.dicklet

I do it on non-glued boxes like Remington UMC since the time I found a couple of .40SW inside a 9mm box.

Since you can’t return ammo, it’s probably put there by assholes who just wanna fuck with people.

I do when I buy hollerpoints, because I buy special snowflake Hornady, and I can't ever remember which Extremely Critical Duty FTXTP pre-lubed bullets I waste shooting red squirrels that wake me up after a 12.

Can't say I've ever opened up a glued/taped box though.

Hahahahahaha, this post reminds me of a dweeb I met today. I was benchpressing 300 pounds today, and while I was only on my 27th rep, I saw this fat dork with glasses picking around the single-digit weight rack. This would not stand, not in my kingdom. I stroll up and say "Hey, buddy. You ain't gonna find any donuts in there". He looks at me and quivers in fear as his superior towers over him, he meekly replies "I-I'm t-trying to work ou-". Before he can finish, I give him a slight push that sends him flying to the floor. Crying, he ran out the gym doors as fast as his sock/sandal combo would allow him. The entire gym watching this, broke out in laughter. A bunch of babes offered to blow me in acknowledgment of my heroic deed, an offer I happily took. Let this be a lesson for you geek-boy if you even dare thinking of stepping into MY domain.

Only after I buy it. Then I check on one box just to be sure I don't have a batch of lemons (fucked primers, fucked brass, etc) and leave.

germanon here, i was once looking for 9mm softpoints, but the only info written on the box was "teilmantel", which could be any kind of defensive ammo, so i asked if i could open the box to look since the store employees couldn't tell me what it was either.

I do this to make sure nobody has taken any out of the box I'm going to buy

I've bought a few boxes of ammo in the past that had tarnish or even the beginnings of corrosion on them. I chalked it up to remshit being remshit, but since them, I always open the box to give it a quick glance.
Only boxes that aren't glued shut, though.

I like it when I open my new box of ammo and there is a finger print on the shell....Hee Hee!

>do you open ammunition boxes
yes, but I always ask first and they always say yes. everywhere. I've never been turned down, and often they'll do it for me without my asking.

I've done it to test fit into hard plastic ammo boxes, but I buy anything I open

>can't greentext

You killed a good rifle with that gay ras ii handguard.
I like your pistol grip though. What is it?

even if it doesn't fit?

I went to buy the ammo boxes, but forgot to bring some of my finished handloads to test fit.
I opened up a few types of 300 blackout that are similar to what I can to load to test fit to pick the best box to get, then purchased everything

Attached: IMG_6376.jpg (4032x3024, 1.92M)

I do but I also do this with reactive targets because people keep stealing the aluminium powder from the ones at my local academy and the fuckers do t take the box off the shelf.

with unsealed boxes at gun shows, sure.

Because I like lookin at stuff before I buy it. Just an autistic thing of mine, as long as I can see the bullet before buying it. This includes online sales. If they don’t have a picture of whatever caliber I’m buying outside the case/box I don’t buy it.

>Do you open ammunition boxes in the store?
Yeah. I often replace one round out of the box with one of my own handloads. The handloads I make just have enough powder to push the bullet into barrel.

fat dykes don't eat grapes
shut the fuck up

I do it for jhp to see how wide the opening is to make sure I don't have feeding issues.

what the fuck?

OP i also work in a pawnshop and let me tell ya, some people are fucking retarded. they dont know any of that mumble jumble on the side of the box, BUT they kinda have an idea of what they look like, or they might be looking for something stupid like RIP ammo.

These people are either niggers looking for hollow-point or "red balls", or in your case a fatty redneck probably looking for 30-30

No shit, this is a daily occurance. It's shit like this that makes me wonder why there aren't work based shootings where the customer clearly deserves it.

I like to make sure I'm not running soft tips in my semi autos.

Its fucking bizarre how self absorbed and unaware people can be. I think its some sort of weird IQ thing a lot of the time too. What baffles me is how some of these people have made it as far in life as they have, when they can't grasp simple stuff like basic manners or social niceties yet often live on their own with their children.

I once had a cracked polymer tip on a barnes ttsx, always check ammo now

Agreed. Disturbing to think that they may be passing on that attitude to their kids. Ah well... :-/

You should have been fired, you let a customer open a perishable comsumable.

Yeah it will probably sell long before it happens but his skin oils are now on that brass and will lead to corrosion.

Fuck him, yeah, but fuck you for not protecting your bosses inventory.

Occasionally if it's a round/caliber I'm not familiar with, warranting that the box isn't glued/taped/shrink wrapped.

>>Be me, manager in everything but name

pft whatever just make sure you have my coffee ready in the morning bitchboy.

I did it out of curiosity for a long time. I check it now ever since I found a .38 s&w long in a .327 fed box. But only ever on unsealed ammo, if it's glued I don't.

You literally discern nothing from seeing how aggressive the serrations look. Just look up the tests. If it makes you feel better, expansion is pretty much angels on pinhead territory as is. The biggest factor will always be your aim.

This

i do this, particularlay in places that sell used guns.

looking for signs of counterfeit ammo, reloads stuffed in boxes being re-sold as first class, signs of corrosion or bad storage,

some thrift store owners flooded basement which is probably why the corroded ammo is sealed up etc

He was probably drunk you fucking autist.

You are a fag and so is op

Lmao
>Visually inspecting equipment in gay
OP is autist poster child .

Nah. Expensive ammo, I'll buy a bag of Starline brass and one reasonably priced sort of bullet and one premium sort of bullet and load it my own damned self.
Cheap ammo like 308 I'll get a crate of PPU or GGG Sierra MK when I can get it on sale, and keep a box or two of TTSX-tipped ammo for the hunting I do.

If you seriously believe there is any real correlation between intelligence and social more, you're the big retard here; convinced yourself that you're the more enlightened in a species prone to rude behaviour not due to lack of civility, but lack of trust. And let me make it clear for you what I'm trying to say, since I'm sure you won't grasp it. I'm not saying buying the unopened box next to the one you opened is wrong, I'm saying it has nothing to do with intelligence. It has everything to do with you and your ilk thinking that social collectivism is the mark of an intelligent soul, rather than individualism. You're a fucking idiot is what I'm saying.

>not opening the box, taking one out of the "tray" at the far end, then putting the tray back in

>not opening ammo boxes at the store
>not taking a couple rounds out random
>not replacing the rounds with your own triple-charged handloads
It's just a prank pro.

Maybe if it was steel cased. Bought some that had some rusty fingerprints on it, but brass shouldn't matter too much.

Anyway, opening an ammo box in the store without asking permission first should be a red flag.

I take it to the sales guy first before opening inside. I know the boxes are not sealed but I don't want to be a filthy degenerate. That is why there are tempered glass doors in front of the ammo now, so normal people are not to touch them.

Why? If the are small primers, buy small primers to reload them. If they are large, buy large. Buy both. Separate them on the loading tray.

I've gotten home with a half empty box of bullets before

I don't load 9mm anymore because its cheaper to buy factory loads. Less than $7 a box. That's 6 merkels. Muh burgers, muh freedom.

If you can't tell by weight if the box is missing half the ammo then you should have someone else buy it for you. Especially for a bigger caliber like 44.
