At Walmart today. 3 boxes of 28ga. That was it. Nothing else but empty shelves.
Yep, bird shot.And even those 3 boxes of 28 gauge were only birdshot, weren't they? Take care. Tom Worthington
I stopped by my local WM tonight and the pantry was bare. There WERE 5-6 boxes of 20ga 2 weeks ago and I think a couple boxes of 28ga. I didn't have any cash the last time but determined I would buy them out tonight. Instead, I ended up buying a couple Barnett wrist rockets, 1/4 & 3/8 ammo, a strap to fix one I have at home and 2x6000 .177 BBs (copper plate). Took me a half hour to get someone to open up the case for the BBs and when he got there he tried to tell me they stopped selling "ammo" at 8pm but I wasn't having it, having been told by 3 different people that "someone will be over with the key".
In related news, I ordered a seal kit off debay ($6.15) for my good ol' Crosman American 1377 pump BB pistol. I only need the tube seal but maybe I'll put the others in, as well. Gun is from the 70s and is powerful AND accurate (for a BB pistol). Stock photo shown...

That’s funny in a day late dollar short kind of way..when my little brother passed away a few years ago, my dad consigned all his guns to boost the estate for his 2 young daughters, but left the cabinet full of ammo for me to use or otherwise dispose of. My bro was in the appliance business for 30+ years ( I am not looking forward to the day I have to buy an appliance,having NEVER had to before,lol) and took guns,ammo,boats, tools, whatever in trade for late lease payments or buybacks. It took awhile to get rid of the ammo,selling most of it for pennies on the dollar and finally just giving it away..who needs 2000 rounds of 9mm Marakov without the gun to shoot it.?? Those weird aluminum looking casings seems more fit for a necklace than shooting stuff. He had case lots, some multiple, of green cased 5.56, .45, ought 6, 9mm Luger, and smaller amounts but at least 250 each of 444 marlin, my mom’s hunting rifle, and 460 weatherby as well as all the hunting millimeter calibers. And a foot locker of 10 lb bags of 22 LR.. I guess ya just never know..lolMikeD's tip of the day: Take note of what obscure caliber ammo is still on the racks. These may be the gun calibers to buy.
I have one on those!! They were great back when they used decent metal for the main parts. I have the stock for it as well.I stopped by my local WM tonight and the pantry was bare.

So we have been reduced to defending ourselves with BB guns? Take care. Tom Worthington

It is a cheap and convenient way to practice marksmanship in the back yard until we get to the range...
I live out of town. Hearing people shooting all around me every day was a normal thing for years. Now, in the last few weeks it has changed. No shooting at all. I guess they have run out of ammo or just don't want to use what they have up.Well, my "range" IS in the backyard, so there is that. Gotta love living out of town. Take care. Tom Worthington
One could look at owning ammo like a savings account. I certainly would not sit back and laugh , but I would not feel guilty or bad for saving up over the years when times were good.
Picked up 300 rounds Federal 12g 7.5's at a local WM. That's enough to keep me hunting for years. Not to say i wont pick up more. ;-D
Was at my local WM today. Ammo shelves completely bare except for one lone box of Federal 28 ga. ammo.
I needed ammo so my wife contacted her cousin who's "got a guy".
We got 500 rounds for $200.
