Why cant I find these anymore? I have been to about ten different drug, food and department stores and no one has them anymore. Walmart gave me some lame excuse as to why they did not have them, and none of the grocery stores carried them. Maybe it just where I live right now, but dioes anyone have a good line on strike anywhere matches? I am putting together some PSK's for my dad and brother in law to go hunting with this fall.

Thanks,

Garrett

They are considered hazmat/incendiary devices in VA and I don't think you'll find them anywhere on the shelves. I stock up whenever I go to my hometown in Georgia. Even then I have buy them at an Ace Hardware store -- a mom & pop place - the chain stores don't carry them there.

If you're close to the NC border. maybe you could check there.

You can also buy them on eBay sometimes.

HTH!

Garrett, Here are a couple of online sites that sell SAW matches. The prices range from $1.99 per box of 250 to $3.00, all exclusive of shipping. When I buy them in GA, they cost about $1.45 a box, including tax.
