I called Cabelas today to check on .22 LR and they had 8 boxes in stock of CCI, but said you could buy only 1 box at a time, talk about punching them off. At least GATS limits you to 5 boxes (for any one caliber).

 

UPDATE ALERT, UPDATE ALERT, all gun guys, 22 Long Rifle can be had a Megasports in Plainfield where I picked up 500 rounds this past Sunday. Nothing special, Wichester traditional .22 long rifle, box of 50 for$3.99 (price has almost tripled since a few years ago)! THey also have Blazer .22 LR in stock and that might be $2.99 a box not certain. They DO NOT have any CCI stinger or mini mags, but get in new ammo on a daily basis. THey have no limit on what you can buy ammo wise EXCEPT for .9 mm which they are essentialy out of except for specialty self defense rounds. They do not have Federal 525 round value pack for .22 LR but get some in every few weeks.

Also picked up a spare mag for my new Ruger LCP .380 pocket gun, and they have PMags AR 15 mags, capacity 30, for $40, so I picked up one of those as they are almost double that on the internet and no other store in ton has them in stock (which is good to know).

AMAZINGLY, they are fully stocked up on guns and there is no shortage of guns for sale there WHATSOEVER, I was shocked, they even have the new Springfield .45 acp XDS in stock (which is almost impossible to find anywhere around here)!

They have a TON of every hand gun and many ARs in stock also I was REALLY, REALLY surprised. TONS of everygun you can imagine that you CANNOT find anywher at the local stores and trust me when I tell you I have been living in all of them the last 2 months on the weekends this winter. If your in the market for antype of gun (except they have no AKs) I must admit they have the BIGGESTselection of guns and are fully stock as of this past Sunday, March 23rd. Tons of 1911s, tons of revolvers, tons of carry conceal pistols, about 1000% more inventory than GATS has (simply amazing). I will admit there prce on some guns are slighty better than GATs and they are more expensive on about 50% of the rest of their inventory. All depends on the gun and manufactur, but by in large there price on guns a very reasonable and they have several AR 15s avaiable for $1,200 to $1,500 dollars which is not bad in this crazy climate. TONS of asault styl shotguns, never seen so many in my life in one spot (love it)!

Here is something stupid though they are VERY UPTIGHT, typical corporate Amercia, and you can't even use your cell phone in the stork which is just plain stupid (but I was not about to get kicked out over this dumb policy!! ALSO, FYI, you cannot enter the store at all if you do not have an FOID card, they ask for that as soon as you walk in! No window browsing at Megasports without possessing an FOID card.

 

I haven't been to MegaSports since they expanded.


Did anyone go to the GAT open house?

 

Just got back from Northern WI. and ran across 22lr. (Rem.) for 24.99 a brick. So maybe there is some hope.

 

Hope you didn't get a flat tire!

 

I was at Cabella's yesterday. Nothing good in the ammo department.

 

How many rounds in a brick (500 I assume)?

 

Are The Ammo Shortages By Design?

have you checked http://www.gunbot.net/

 

^^ very nice, thanks!

 

525 to a brick .

 

Thanks for the site. Even the ammo resellers are screwing us. Unbelievable supply and demand prices.

 

You mean you're not going to rush out and buy this $50 box of 9mm? It's in stock!

http://www.surplusammo.com/9mm-115-g...lot-50-rounds/

 

I used to be able to find that box for under ten bucks.

 

I have a box of that exact ammo in my closet that I think I paid $9 during my ammo horde of 2008.

 

My order from 9mm with them is still on back order.
There's a shop about an hour south of me that has 9mm 50 count box for $15. 2 boxes per customer. They will be sold out by the time I hit 'Submit Reply'. That is the best deal I've heard of so far.

 

I go through Eric Holder when I'm buying gun's & ammo.

 

My buddy from high school owns Semper Fi Supply in Elgin. He told me ammo has been insane for months. Flies off the shelf as soon as he gets it in. I’m due for another bulk surplus buy from him but he can’t obtain that now due to this shortage. I did stock up on over 3k 9mm rounds last year though.

 

I think his name is Jeremiah? Good guy I had work done there or sourced out on several guns and was pleased with the service and work. Small store ..... nice people to do business with.

 

That would be him. I'll pass on the kind words.
