A few months ago I was in Cabelas (Louisville) picking up some ammo of a different caliber. The sales guy told me that they had gotten in 100,000 rounds of 22LR, put it out on a Saturday and it was gone by noon.
Last week I sold a couple of bricks of mine to buy some 7.62x39. Irony? I sold 2K of 22LR and walked into my local gun shop and bought 1K 7.62x39. Exactly 2 for 1.
Anyway, the guy who bought mine said he just went to Cabelas and they sold out the 22LR they got in before the store opened. By that he meant that people were camped out at 5 am & when the store opened, the ammo was gone at once.
I sold a few bricks via armslist.com, some at 12¢ and some at 10¢ a round. Got a very nasty email calling me a gouger and a dirt bag, and more. Some very frustrated folks out there.
On another note, I got a mailing from the NRA saying come see Mitch (Harry’s Bitch) McConnell at an NRA sponsored pep rally for him. That really made me angry.
My Walmart store has exactly 9 each 30CAL Ammo cans of XM193 of 5.56mm at $199 apiece. Bunches of 7.62X39 in all makes there too. They’ve been in the case for about 2 weeks.
Every other caliber, EXCEPT 38, 38SPL, and 357 Magnum AND 22LR and 22MRF is in strong supply, too.
