A rural building supply store in my area sells the used rail cross ties and last year or so they were 13.95 per tie.
Called this morning and they said they were out of stock and used to be 21.95 per tie. Expecting another delivery in a month and they said a price increase most likely !! Forget those for cheap range use!
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Just proves that "everything " even remotely connected to guns & shooting has gone sky hi.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

What you going to do with the ties forty, range work? And you're right, EVERYTHING is going up in price. Some new normal, huh?

Been there, done that. We had red cobs & white cobs. Red cob first, then use the white cob to see if you needed another white one.

About the same thing you can do with that stimulus check. If you ever get it. Was watching the Rifleman while riding the bike in the basement today. Things made sense then

Actually we were more patriotic. We had red, white, and blue. Use the red, then the white to see if you needed the blue.
