Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Is the Ammo situation easing up?

Those would definitely get you immediately thrown out of the LGS my bud manages. Lol.

Was in the local Runnings, home, farm and outdoor store this afternoon for some work gloves and walked through the sporting goods dept. just for grins. They had four boxes of 6mm ARC ammo and that was about it. Probably because anything so chambered is probably unobtanium anyway. I've yet to see anything in 6mm ARC.

Same here. A co worker & I cleaned out the Arc ammo over the course of roughly a week. Demand just is not there yet for the ARC ammo at least in our community. No complaints.. Pricing on that ARC ammo is as favorable as I have seen anywhere.

Coworker ordered an AR w a 16 barreled line & had it in a few days. Hope he likes it.

I have the ammo and no rifle yet. Ordered a 22" light contoured drop in barrel for a CZ 527 roughly 3 1/2 months ago & sounds like the barrel will be on the order of 5 to 6 weeks yet. Not exactly a surprise

Otherwise the runnings ammo & reloading supplies have been nearly cleaned out for close to 5 months now.

Oh lawdy, I just split a side.

I keep seeing how Academy has all this ammo, and at decent prices... so, on a day off, I decided to drive all the way there to check it out. Wasted trip.

I saw a lot on the shelf today in middle America. Wagiboon has been holding out on us:)

1 box of 280AI
9 boxes of 25/06
On up to lots of 280, 7 Mag, 7 mauser, 30/06 to a mountain of 300WSM.

It was only uneasy if you are a retard like Ethan Retard Edwards


LMAO

Hey Fella .you got any VarmintAmmo in that there LGS?

just watched a big auction. 10s of 1000s of rounds sold ----- starting at a buck each.

Problem is, people buy ANY ammo they see, even if it's a gun they don't own. Guess they figure trade bait later 🙄

Our Scheels here had plenty the other day, but they are gouging which I never thought they would do. I'm thinking it's because of scalpers.

Why do you think that they were gouging?

40 $ for 50 rounds of 9mm ammo? The rest seemed more in line.

How much did they pay for that 50 round box?

That I don't know

not around Southern Oregon... almost ANYONE who owns a firearm, has more ammo than you'll see on the shelves of any store that "use" to sell ammo.

The Biden Bucks buyers are pretty well tapped out around here.
Multiply that factor in nationwide also.
Stuff is staying on the shelves longer.
And inventory is increasing.
And the line at Academy has shrunk by 1/2 to 2/3rds over the last 4 to 5 weeks.
Observations since 3rd week of march when those who dont have a pot to piss in won big in the Joey give away.

Hit Rural King yesterday.
Look at the time stamps on the receipts
They had around 20 to 25 k of win white box, blazer brass, am eagle, and browning( which is rebranded win white box) all 100 rd bulk pks
All 115 gr.
Today will be win white box 100 rd bulky day.
They probably had around 13 to 14k 9mm on the shelf of 9mm left around 7 pm last night.
Had a large amount of other calibers also.

The big things that help out around here are the regional walmart distribution center in Oak grove.
Regional distribution center in Cookville for academy.
Midsouth shooters supply 3 miles down the road.
Rural King being a regional based store around here.
And a fairly less populated area with a Military base.
The LGs,s around for the most part are making a profit off ammo and gun sales. But not obscene. We have a good selection of guns here also.

2 LGS in this area proclaim they have no ammo and little selection of guns.
Say they cant even order guns....
But maintain full friends and family staffs with little floor sales of anything.
Yet they more than likely use the same distributors as others .

That screams to me they are selling on gunbroker most of anything they get in, under accounts to disassociate their online stuff with the shop itself.
Both of these LGS are kings of the 100 to 200 markup on guns back in normal times to begin with.

Just my observations over time.....

Ammo and firearms are becoming more available with more selection.

Those shoot good in my Glocks, I burned a couple of boxes Sunday.

Pretty common ammo around here.
Buck more a box than win white box.
Cause of its eye candy packaging.
Just rebranded win white box is what it is.
Good ammo either way.

At this point, that may turn out to be a bad strategy. Mule Deer tells of a garage sale he went to after the last mess, where there were stacks of bulk .22 for sale at panic prices, and the panic was long over. Nobody was buying.

Based on activity at the nearby shooting range, must not be much available in this region. Even a year ago, the pistol range was pretty busy; not now.
