yep pretty sure they didn't intend for both the 10% AND 20% programs to run together.

I wonder if they'll honor the previous sales?

Was that cheaper than you can get it for?

It’s been awhile since I saw retail prices that low. I think the last one was IMI.

I ordered earlier this evening (1000 rds of 223 and 8 boxes of Win 9mm FMC) and got the double discount and got a email confirmation of my order. I guessing it would very bad PR to retroactively back out of the deal once your order was confirmed.

The American Eagle 9mm (with all codes) was selling within 1cpr of what AmmoJon is paying in bulk.
During a (alcohol involved) conversation, he was explaining the "high volume, high turnover, low margin" business principle and let it slip what he pays per 10k.
With shipping included, this deal is a wash- at best- for Academy. Lets not get too hyped that our orders will actually be fulfilled. Remember the Gander Outdoors deal a few months back?

They have canceled my order before, sigh. I am hoping this does not get canceled. I will update as update though.

For those that got in on the deal, eyeball your ammo when it comes in.

I recently got a batch of Academy store brand .38spc (Monarch). Out of 500, 8 were shorties. I posted this in another thread but I'll duplicate the picture here. Left to right shortest to normal. There's about 1/4" more setback than what I'd expect.

Kind of relief that the deal was ended. Purchased quit a few orders lately

KJackson · Apr 23, 2018

My order went through around 5:30 last night. I think that I was the slacker of the group as I only picked up a few hundred rounds of .22 LR and a box of .22 WMR for my Heritage Rough Rider.

If you have FedEx Delivery Manager (a free sign-up) check if you have any new tracking numbers associated with your account. Academy uses FedEx ground to ship ammo.

Also as a side note, with Delivery Manager you can reroute your packages to be held at a FedEx location near you for free (so that boxes aren't left at your doorstep when no one is home..)

You and me both!

KJackson · Apr 23, 2018

My order for .22 stuff is coming in 2 parts. The .22 LR shipped today. I am still waiting on shipping info for the .22 WMR.

They are shipping so they are honoring orders.

thanks for the update!

bkuether · Apr 24, 2018

Interesting.

They are shipping two boxes of 25 instead of one box. Assume the weight played into that decision.

I don't really care..... I got ammo for the best price evah!

davsco · Apr 24, 2018

yeah i got 4 tracking numbers for 100 boxes of .223 (two cases). expected 2, but like above, that's their decision.

GolfR · Apr 24, 2018

Just an FYI, it appears that the code is working again. Still free shipping but doesn't stack with the 10% off that was automatically applied. Still not a bad deal for 223 at $26 cents a round.

songlaw · Apr 24, 2018

I can confirm that the code is working again. No stacking. Ordered a 1,000 rounds of .223 and 1000 shells, at a decent price, and saved $105 off that, along with free shipping.

Good deal. Thanks, Schnauzr and GolfR.

schnauzr · Apr 24, 2018

Good to know about the code returning! Yes the F&F discount stack was Sunday only and I believe they only allow one code per order currently (Sunday's was less of a code stack and more of a code combo with an automatically applied discount). Still, pretty good pricing from Academy with just the 20% off code!

songlaw · Apr 24, 2018

Just ordered some more!

Hell. I just ordered another 1,000 shells.

I just shot a shotgun for the first time this past Sunday, at the wobble trap course at AGC. I was terrible! I didn't hit too many, but it was a lot of fun. I figured that I'd better stock up on shells.
