Author Topic: .22 LR In Stock? (Read 8129 times)

Dabbott · « **on:** February 18, 2013, 07:19:57 pm »

Briefly was browsing the net for ammo sites and found that luckygunner.com had .22LR ammo in stock: for all of about 7 minutes. Website was so overloaded I couldn't get the cart page to load before it was all gone. But looks like they had it, if only for a moment.

Trouble is, seemed like everyone knew it was there too...anyone else had better luck?

Also, I remember the shortage in 08/09 but how long did it last?

That shortage lasted about 9 or 10 months if I recall correctly. And even after that, the return to normal was slow.

I think this one could go for 12 to 13 months as long as there is still active panic. And with bans in the news at every turn, that panic seems unlikely to slow for now.

I was at Desert Valley Firearms a few days back and they had some in stock.

-T.

thts seems about right. it took awhile for the price gougers to creep back down to normal though. im back ordering from the decent companies tht havent jacked up there prices and if and when it comes in stock cool. but i refuse to buy ammo at stupid prices unless its for my kids.

We have some left, but it is Eley.... Eley is top of the line when it comes to 22LR, and has a price to match. Sold the last CCI today. Hunting for more daily.

Just came from a Walmart Glendale and they had 2000 rounds of 22lr that just came in. It was all CCI Mini Mag (100 round boxes $7.96), the guy did not know about any limit, so I bought up 1000 rounds (10 boxes) of it. They had 2000 rounds of 9mm (Winchester 100 rnd value packs $24.00, which I took 3 boxes) and 1000 rounds of 45 ACP. I thought I saw a case of .223 also (not sure though).

I'm gonna have to start making the wall mart rounds - someone always beats me to the punch in Maricopa.

SurpShot · « **Reply #8 on:** February 20, 2013, 09:26:04 am »

Just ran to surprise prasada after reading this.....nothing. Few boxes of 45's and a couple bulk boxes of .38. No 9mm or 22lr. Shelves were empty as usual. Will try again around 5pm.

Black Wolf CCW · « **Reply #9 on:** February 20, 2013, 10:15:35 am »

I just got back and it was all gone. My Buckeye Walmart just went thru 1000 22lr and 2000 9mm about a half hour before I got there (I was there at 830am).

Black Wolf CCW · « **Reply #10 on:** February 20, 2013, 10:16:17 am »

There was still two 100 packs of 45 ACP and 1 box of 40.

I did empty my local Wal-Mart out of 00 Buck tonight. Not so much fun but practical.

With your Wal-Mart scores, is there a certain time of day you're finding works better? I would guess early in the morning would be best. What are you all finding? My Wal Mart here in Flag is 24-hour, maybe a 4 or 5am run one day when they've got their shipments would get me something...

when they receive their shipments does not necessarily have anything to do with when they stock their ammo cabinet. the other day i was in wm by my home around dinner time. the guy working sporting goods rolled up with a shopping cart with maybe 2-3 cases of random ammo. looked like some military buckshot and some other stuff. nothing i was particularly interested in. i think they just get around to it whenever they feel like it.

Saw some .22 and 9mm when I went shopping the other day..... It was on the side of a Milk Carton with the word missing above it. *groan*

I was in the local Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday. They get their weekly shipments on Thursday, put them out after close on Thursday night, then sell out on Friday morning.

I was asking what they got to determine if I wanted to come back Friday morning, just in case they had something that I absolutely needed to have. They didn't, so I asked whether they had gotten any bricks of .22lr. The cute girl behind the gun counter said, "nope. All we got was 12 100rnd boxes."

Sportsman's entire weekly shipment of .22 was 1200 rounds in 100 rnd boxes.

I was up at Bruno's the other day. They did have 22 ammo, but it was the high buck target stuff.

Harm · « **Reply #17 on:** February 22, 2013, 06:23:57 pm »

Sportsmans in Mesa is no bueno on a Friday AM - I was there at 11 am this morning and they didn't have anymore than they did last night.

Sorry the only prices I got were for 10mm ($28.99 per 20)

1 box of 30-06 target loads

only bulk stuff they had was in 50rd boxes
38 spcl
45 acp

lot of hunting ammo, 270, 243, 22-250 etc.

The guys at the surprise store on 303 and waddell always have me come in at 5pm. That seems to be the time they roll out any stock they have.

I concur on the thumbs down for the Happy Valley WalMart. It has a sizable outdoor section too - but they get skipped when it comes to ammo for sure.

Dabbott · « **Reply #20 on:** February 25, 2013, 09:53:35 am »

Wal-Mart up here in Flag said they get shipments every day except Mon and Thurs, shipments come in around 4pm but not sure when they get around to stocking the stuff. The girl behind the counter was pretty ticked off about the store manager being an idiot on top of it all, so it looks like I won't be going shooting for a verrrry long time

Natchezss has CCI Mini Mags in stock. Limit 500 rounds per customer per day. Price is about 7 cents a round. not too terrible considering some other prices out there. I just order 500 rounds.

Cyris · « **Reply #22 on:** February 25, 2013, 10:20:31 am »

Closer to 8 cents/round, but still not half bad. I would buy some, but shipping is 18 bucks?! With a 500 round limit, I can't bring myself to do it =(

2nd Amendment Firearms · « **Reply #23 on:** February 25, 2013, 10:47:15 am »

Ya shipping brings it up to around 11-12 cents per round. but thats still cheaper than buying from other places right now that actually have ammunition. Now if these were remington bricks, 12 cents a round is not worth it. But since these, being CCI mini mags, I decided it was worth it.

capcyclone · « **Reply #24 on:** February 25, 2013, 08:04:21 pm »

I knew I should have set aside time earlier today to get on AZGO. I read this post far too late to have a shot at any of this at Natchez.
