Hoss Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 At this point in time, I don't reload (thinking about starting!) so I have to buy my ammo from several diffrent sources. I had backordered from diffrent sellers both 38 sp and shotgun shells. in the last week I have gotten 1750 rounds of 38 sp from 3 diffent suppliers, and 2 cases of shotgun shells from 2 diffrent suppliers. Hopefully this will continue! Should have enough now to get me thru a couple of months. I was starting to worry a little, as I supply ammo for both myself and my son. A funny aside, I always get tickled when I read in the paper when they say somebody had an "arsenal". 3 guns and 250 rounds of ammo. Hope they never look in my safe!

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The local Sportsman's Warehouse is still virtually empty on ammo and has no powder, primers or lead bullets. They do, however, have a couple of ARs on the shelf at their regular prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Doc Martin, SASS #21774 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Everything is out of stock pretty much everywhere. When stores do get some ammo and components in it gets sold out right away. I was on a couple of waiting lists from websites and after about two months or so I got what I ordered. Everything is that way including red dot sights, etc. I got a call yesterday and the Eotech I ordered in February "should" ship the end of the month. My brother in law can't even find .22 ammo to shoot skunks with. So, when he's in town this weekend I'll fix him up with some. I'm on waiting lists for Hornady XTP bullets for my .45 ACP stuff. I don't figure it will get better for a few years. So, I suggest getting on backorder lists and hope. That's about all that can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Draw Granpaw #48525 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I've checked several outlets in the area and I've asked questions of the sales person ....... I notice your out of a lot of ammo......Can't keep it on the shelf. When do you expect another shipment? ....It just comes in and we never know when it's coming, How about powder-primers......Repeat the answers above,,,,,,,, Has anyone heard different answers? Happy trails and thanks for your time.. QDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Doc Martin, SASS #21774 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 A deputy sheriff friend on Maui has been telling me how short the ammo is there. The gun shop posts on their Facebook page when a pallet comes in and people make a mad dash to buy it all up in less than an hour. Twice now, the 9mm ammo has disappeared from the shipment without it making it to the gun shop. Someone is stealing it somewhere during the shipping process.

Guest Texas Jack Black Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 3 Local shops have at least 50 AR'S and plenty of ammo for them and plenty of handguns .There is a shortage of 9,40,45 ammo and reloading components for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 As the breathless stories of "pending legislative action against firearms and ammunition" get pushed off the lead position on TV news and the front page of the newspaper, then the 70% or so of gun owners who do not pay attention to the news under normal circumstances will ratchet down their worries and quit buying guns, ammo and components that they don't intend to use in the next 20 years. Then and only then will we begin to really see supplies replenished on local store shelves. The more stories that come back to life, the longer that legislative in-fighting over proposals continues, the more the "hurricane-coming-better-go-buy-milk" panic will continue to diminish our CAS supplies. The Dem's are once again the Worlds Best Firearms Sales Clerks of the YEAR for 2013. In one respect, this buyout of all things gun related is a great thing. It raises awareness amongst the congress-critters needing the votes in a year and a half. In another respect, it punishes our sport shooter today by making items either non-purchasable or expensive. With normal outcomes, this too shall pass. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 There's not a single round of .22 ammo to be had anywhere around here, and none of the usual on-line sources have any either. Everybody's in a panic-buying mode, and when they find some, they buy as much as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomberg is bombarding the local TV stations here in Arizona with "Pro" gun ads. His PAC claims that the Arizona delegation is anti-gun because they aren't supporting gun control !#$%&???? and that Arizona voters better put pressure on our elected officials or we might lose our gun rights. Very interesting tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost, SASS #50125 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Have you tried buying any bullet molds lately? EVERYONE is out and saying "backorder ok".

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just stopped by my local toy store and they had 100 thousand CCI primers in stock. They also had a pallet of 5.56 ammo they were selling for $499/k. Maybe it is starting to ease up a bit. For you Georgia pards, that was Bulls eye in Lawrenceville, Ga.
