OMGosh! LOL! “cool canned bacon”!
ROTFL!
End of K-Mart? Au contraire. They’re not gone. In fact they bought Sears. But they sure did shrink.
Kmart is also a lot more expensive than Walmart.
Walked into a Great Wall of mart myself to see what was present...
On a deep cabinet that was maybe six feet tall and 8 for wide and 18 inches deep there was maybe 10 boxes of .22 shorts, 4 boxes of .270 Winchester and no more than 12 boxes of assorted bird loads of 12 and 20 gauge.
Empty spaces where the price tags were on the face of the shelf was telling for the small town the Chinese clearing house was in.....
My observation was the 17 of this month at noon......
Asked the minority clerk when they had a new ammunition order coming in and she said she “ didn’t know or care” .....
Left that pos store and went home and showered to rid myself of the stink that recon left on me.....
Went to major outlets of academy and gander in the big city west of me and their ammo shelves are lean pickings as well.
Gonna hit my local Mom and Pop Gunrunners this evening to see what’s left on their shelves. I predict the run on ammo was panic induced. We reload and looked for components, primers, powder etc.... Even that selection is limited.
Folks seem to forget the last seditious administrations ban and such....
In good times folks seem to ignore such things. I can get lax on the amount of .460 Weatherby. magnum 500 grain solids on my self but case lots of 7.62x51, 5.56 and 12 ga is a serious consideration if your EBR’s are fed such. Stock up folks, before the election Magpuls P-Mags were 16$ each. Saw ONE at a pawn shop Saturday marked at 50$ ....used.
It’s so bad of late I brake for lead wheel weights on the road ....:o)
Just rambling here but I would bet good money that these same rats that pushed this bullshit this time loaded up on firearms and ammunition stocks and bonds before this rush on the industry for profit.
Bought for me and mine long ago, give to gifts to friends and good neighbors the same as presents over time as a form of Appleseed Project. Purchased a Corbin press a few years ago to make .224 jackets from spent .22 rimfire brass. The bullets made in this process are very good. Weights will vary a few grains so they are all minute of torso at 300 yet when sorted carefully a select batch are left for more accurate needs of the sod poodle eradication efforts here in the high plains.
Of well ....just my opinion and local observations....
Stay safe .
We still have a KMart in my town and I actually love that store - more so than Walmart. I miss the little food stand they used to have where you could buy 2 subs for just $5.00 and they were delicious.
since the afternoon of 9-11-01, when they pulled ammo off the shelves, i havent bought so much as an icee in a kmart...
