Bass pro and Walmart ammo report

[JoeRinMD]

Tonight, on the way back from dropping my daughter off at college in Manhattan, I stopped at the Walmart in Middletown, DE. Unfortunately, the ammo shelves were almost bare. They had NO rimfire, few pistol calibers, a few less-popular rifle calibers and just a few boxes of shotgun shells, mostly 20 gauge.

The great ammo drought of 2013 continues!

I know this doesn't help anyone here, but I travel a lot and just returned from a trip to Fort Hood, Texas. I stopped in a sporting goods store called Academy Sports in Killeen and their racks were completely loaded with handguns, AR platforms and an entire rack as long as most grocery store isles with probably at least a couple hundred thousand rounds of every round you could image except .22lr, ( I posted a couple of pic on my FB page) I asked the store manager and he said there was no problem with anything other than the .22lr and they typically receive a shipment of varied amounts every Mon, Wed and Friday and not unlike many locations here....the same cast of characters are lined up outside the store to buy up as much .22lr as they can as it comes in. He said they are all sitting in their folding chairs in a line right outside the door. At times I think I should become a mule and carry back ammo to sell here...next trip is to California...not expecting to see much there. It sucks to be stuck in the DELMARVA area...and it sucks the most to be in AACO in Maryland!

Were prices reasonable? I don't have an issue getting ammo... if I don't mind paying through the nose.

Yes, guns too. I was looking to buy the MOSSBERG 715T for my daughters forever and I found them everywhere but here in MD. The ones I did find here in the PDRM were way overpriced...I saw one there (can't remember if it was a Wally World or Academy) but it was $219. BPS here have them for $279, but of course they did not have them in stock until after I ordered one on-line for $249 and had to pay a $40 transfer fee...again another perk of living in the PRDM!!!

I need to go to Texas!

 

[Dragonfly]

I need to go anywhere other than MARYLAND!! We were on Vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC (our future home state) and only came home with 100 Rnds of .22 mag. And that was from a Local Gun Shop/Range. Probably the hardest to find. We did however hit Bass Pro on delivery day & was able to get .22's but no Mags. They're out there. I have faith! Will find them!!

 

[Higs]

WM in Glen Burnie has 7 boxes of Federal 45 auto on the shelf.

 

[Pinecone]

I saw the same thing at Cabelas in WV and PA.

 

[Mr H]

Lansdowne this morning... only 2 boxes of .380 (now freed), and all the usual shotgun/rifle oddities

 

[TyFromMD]

Towson has 2 more boxes of M-22, six or seven boxes of Winchester 555ct, 4 boxes of Remington thunderbolt if you're looking for .22

 

[John from MD]

1200 today, Dick's GB has WW 5.56 M855, WW .40S&W and .45ACP. No .22's were seen.

I was at the BP in AA county on Sunday. The only handgun round I saw on the shelves was .380. Maybe I miised it, but I didn't see any markings where
9mm would be displayed?

Have to go to the counter. They had about $10k worth walk out the door in Jan, so they moved it all behind the counter.

Wow, were the the thieves from within or out? Does this mean you have to take a number to get ammo?

 

[DEX]

It's behind where the register is in guns/hunting department. I glanced today and saw a pretty nice selection, including 9mm. Didn't get any b/c I'm set on 9s and don't believe on buying just to have them.

 

[suptier]

Well, no need of number. You just need to stand in the line at the counter. It's between the archery and shooting counters.

[storm1969]

did they have 40 or 38spl?
