nybuckboy Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I been noticing that 22 LR and Mag as well as 223 ammo is gone in stores and online. Also some stores have very little .380 and .38 ammo and online all back order. Gander said when they get a shipment they dole out limited numbers to buyers.

132 eight pointer Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Everything I have read and heard says there has been a huge surge in ammo and firearm purchases going on for months now.People are stocking up for many reasons and the ammo supplies have dwindled.Good for the economy I would imagine.I am glad I bought that box of .22 LR ammo I almost didn't buy last fall.

Guns&ReligionCop Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I went to dicks in Wappingers Falls and they had no 22, no 17 hmr, no 223, 3 boxes of 308, 2 boxes of 30-06 only a few oxes of 20 gauge shells and maybe 20 boxes of 12 gauge shells and aboslutely no pistol ammo. Plus all semi autos like ruger 10-22 and marlin 22's pulled from the shelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntOrBeHunted Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Herbs says guns and ammo alike flying off the selfs pretty much the same day. All kinds of limits on how many boxes one can buy. 22. rounds will be worth there weight in gold one day. Glad I have thousands of them.. Wait should I have just said that lol...

ants Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Same here,I am looking for some more 308 ammo and cant find it anywhere. I was in Bass Pro Shop (Auburn) yesterday. They had a few boxes of .308 left. It might be worth the drive. I was looking for .357. No luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Stopped at Walmart this morning to buy .380 ammo: Bought one box of the three they had left. Then drove on to GUNS INC. in Schodack....Their shelves are full of ammo; no apparent shortage whatsoever, and they have not raised prices, that I could tell.

growalot Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Ya the Walmart we went to had a few 45's and a few 12ga...and no 22 and were told no future prospect on getting any in....brass on 45 's was so shiny ...first thing counter person said was yep that's fresh from the factory....

Elmo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 They even took it off their websites. When you go online, the only rimfires Gander has on their website is a WMR. A single WMR brand. If you go to Cabelas, the only rimfires listed are 17HMRs. Good thing I have enough to last me the whole year and then some but I just hope when things stablizes, it stablizes back to the way things were before.

WNY_Whitetailer Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 A friends of mine was looking for 22lr ammo. I thought I would help him by checking all of my online sources. I haven't looked because I have plenty. Wow, the cupboards are bare. I knew about 223/5.56 but not 22lr...
