Wal-mart Ammo Stock Dwindling
self

Posted on 01/12/2009 8:04:08 PM PST by George from New England

Wal-mart Ammo Stock is not being replenished from their warehouse. Is seems that corporate Wal-mart does not want to have it's warehouse stocked with new ammunition merchandise after Obama takes office. If Obama issues an executive order halting, restricting, or banning ammo sales, wal-mart and other retailers maybe left with stock they cannot sell at retail or return to their supplier.

I wish they had a public store!!!!

Well crappola. I was hoping I could stock up on .45 target loads when I go by there this spring. It's awfully hard to find this locally (Oklahoma City).

The only part I can afford right now is the lower, though.

get the lower then. that's the part most likely to escalate in price.

You need some range time if you’ve had it for that long. I go through 1000rds a month easily, but I’m cutting back a little.

does that include rimfire? :P

One of my neighbors bought 15 cases of canning jars at Wal-Mart last night. He said we'd need to grow and preserve our own food shortly. So...

I have been canning for years and one might think I'd be well stocked on jars but I'm not. The problem is that I give away stuff and don't get the jars back. At approx $.60 per jar it runs into money. I'm thinking about charging a jar deposit.

I don't pretend to speak for the person you addressed but he probably won't, since that is verbotten here.

Exactly. I calculated his cost at $.67 a jar and that included a flat cap and a ring.

We live rural, along the upper Yukon. No gun ranges for 400 miles. I have a bench on my back porch and 200 yard range out back door.

We hunt all year long, subsistence. I haven't change any of my leupolds in years, they stay on. I shoot pistols alot in summer, getting supplies in here is tough and you can't fly ammo, so usually buzzing ammo out is reserved for caribou.

No joke, I have a few cases of 223 had since 80's; my grandkids will be shooting it off.

I still believe that when the 50 million hunters of America realize they can't buy ammo handily; they'll get upset and there will be a political price to pay. Old Obama just wants to steal for 8 years; like the rest of them. He ain't gonna do anything so controversal that his time in office is cut short.

So unless I can get some sort of paying job, it'll all have to wait.

You can still get a decent lower receiver for $150.00 or so - then buy the remainder piece by piece. If, as is likely, those firearms are banned, the price of that part will be closer to $500.00 - IF you can find one for sale. Shortly after the previous AW Ban went into effect, bare lowers that had selling for $70.00 went up to $350.00. It'll be worse this time around.

I haven't had the time to peruse any of the "survivalist" forums, but I'll bet they're really active these days. Between the concerns over an economic crash and the anti-gun probabilities of the Obama administration, this may be worse than the Y2K stuff.

I expect you're correct. My friends who went to the local gun show Saturday say they never seen anything like it.

but it doesn’t serve the customers as well.

Since when is WalMart in business to serve the customers? It is to serve the stockholders and the executives who directly benefit from the profit margin WalMart produces. Period. Any illusions otherwise are just that...

Now - when Sam was still running the show - things were different - and still quite profitable.

Care to point us in the right direction with a name or two? Thanks.

Try Lone Star Armory, now located far, far from Texas in North Pole, Alaska. The price was $170.00 ea. (plus shipping) as of a day or two ago. I've seen a list of "brand names" and the actual manufacturer - Lone Star's parts are rebranded Sun Devil receivers - well regarded, high-quality pieces with the Heckler & Koch-like Safe/Fire pictograms on both sides. I've seen Sun Devil receivers on some highly tricked-out competition target ARs; IMO that's a pretty good price, given the circumstances.

I think their next lower receiver shipments will go out in early February - and they'll take personal checks. Go forth, and stimulate the Alaskan economy. Do it for Governor Palin. :-)

Any concrete source beyond a vanity post? Enquiring minds want to know!

If you think you need to go out and buy tons of guns and ammo because Obama is going to outlaw them all, then of course you’re welcome to your fantasy.

Ssssssshhhhhhhhh! This is the single greatest opportunity many guys will have to get the last big $$$ gun purchase past the Family Chief of Staff -- SHE who must be obeyed. There is enough hype on the news and in the blogs that it makes a great case with tons of evidence. Any wife who really wants to keep the family safe will probably allow some unusual expenditures in a case like this. You want to go buy an APTERA be my guest. If you're right and we're wrong, no harm no foul PLUS we get some new toys. If we're right and you're wrong, still no harm or foul for us, but you might be in pretty deep poo-poo.
