walmart 22lr

[MichaelKent]

I'm in Austin Texas this weekend, and I stopped by a local Walmart thinking TX may be more likely to have some .22lr (they dont need to stock up before insane ammo taxes and other legislation)... Nope! Their shelves were as barren as those in SoCal.

[Remus]

On a road trip, have hit up Walmart in Yreka, Cottage Grove OR, Centralia WA, and the Cabelas in Lacy WA. All have barren shelves.

[Mr. Beretta]

I got lucky last week and walked out with 2555 rounds, 2x 1000 round boxes of Winchester M2 and a 555 value pack. (3 box limit).

It is all about timing. Ammo is being made and shipped and put on the shelves. People are just buying it up as fast as it is put out.

Which store ?

They had 6 100 round boxes of 9, no 22. I bought 3.

Gilroy Wal-Mart had zilch 3/23/13

Which store ?

Considering that there are probably 150 Walmarts in California, this is a pretty stupid topic

Gilroy Wal-Mart had zilch 3/23/13

I don't even go there anymore. It's been nothing but a wasted trip for a few months now.

[FX-05 Xiuhcoatl]

Yup, 10 boxes of Winchester 555 but I was only allowed to buy 3 that puts me at 10,000 rounds by checking every day on my way to/ coming back from work.

[JoshuaS]

I'm not even .mil and I know RFQ's and IDIQ contracts are a lot different than "they bought X amount of rounds."

It's not the DHS that's causing the shortage.

Not to mention...um .22 lr? Their contract was mostly 9mm, 40 SW, etc

Here's what my Walmarts look like near me...

Which store ?

Milpitas. Then I went over to Moutain View the same night snagged a couple of 100 rd boxes of .357 magnum FMJ for my girlfriend. There's a WM a mile from my house, but they don't sell ammo or even anything gun related, not even a bottle of Hoppe's.

The stores are getting ammo, and they are selling it as fast as it goes out. I just got lucky that night. Word went out they got ammo that morning and it sold out. But they must have had some more, because I went in late at night and the case was full again.

I thanked the guy! Figure they must take a lot of abuse from upset people all the time.

[Dano3467]

Was at WM a couple days ago, ( 8 AM ) just thought I see how the ammo flowing. Talk to a guy who said got to be here at 2AM if you want 22lr. he told me he got two 1000 brick of it at 2 AM sharp. This is the ZOMBIE hour, so watch out...

[John J]

I heard

Most of the ammo purchased was going to LAPD for firearms re-qualifications.

I'm thinking, things will get some what better now that our representatives are questioning the senate about all the DHS large AMMO purchases ( 1.6B rounds ) for in Country usage. Can't wait to see what happens when S.S. come up on the carpet for same thing...

[hcbr]

It's true with some of the walmarts its about timing, ive gone plenty of times since i've spoken to some of the clerks that told me to come during shipment delivery day, and haven't been disappointed

[Dano3467]

What day dose your come; just curious, I don't live there. But use to. so gate. Bell, Huntingtion Park, Hacienda Hights & Long beach, and the likes. Been a long time now...
