Ammo deliveries to Academy are usually on Thursdays around here. A couple of my retired shooting buds go to a certain one every single Thursday to pick up whatever they can get their hands on that they can use as they know the manager there. There’s always a pretty hefty line to the ammo area on that day.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago, this particular Academy must have found a pallet-load of small pistol primers from somewhere probably in the back of a warehouse. They limited the sale to one box (1000)/customer and had 3-4 employees dishing em out as fast as they could. They were all gone in about 5 minutes....all of em. This isn’t even loaded ammo, just the primers for small caliber pistol brass.
My friends each got a box, and then just stood there in awe watching how fast they disappeared.
Sounds eerily like my Academy.
