Walmart ammo

[Guest dotsun]

Well I swung by Walmart today to pick up a box or 2 of ammo. I grabbed a box of remington .223 and then asked the guy if he had any 7.62x39. He says yeah, it's $13.xx per box. That's for 20 WWB fmj. The .223 was high, but still around $7/20, about normal for today's market. Anyone else seen this stuff THAT freakin expensive??

Walmart went up on all their ammo.

40 S&W is $26.99 now, BASS Pro is $25

It looks like all ammo is going up everywhere,

Yeah that's what the guy behind the counter said. I mentioned I could get a 7.62 case of wolf for under $200 shipped and he denied it.

Last time I bought a case of 7.62x39, it was something like $100-109. It's been quite a while.

Yip I got WWB 45 and 40SW last Sunday , the 45 was 30 bux and the 40 was 27. I looked around at the pawn/gun shops and they were all about the same on the 45 but I have not looked for the 40 so I can not say how that is priced everywhere else.

I was at Ganer Mountain down in Huntsville today and they had .40 Wb priced at $39.99.....wtf. They are over priced on most things and had a few good deals, but damn.

They also had a Kimber pro carry used marked at 799....which is right at SRP for a new one

AimSurplus (http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/copy_of_7_62x39.html) has Wolf Military Classic 7.62x39 for $169.95 case. I bought one and would recommend anyone else does too while the price lasts.

Edit: Glad I put my order in Saturday. They just went up today to $179.95 (still a pretty good price).

www.classicarms.us also has pretty decent 7.62 prices.

Yeah I plan on ordering some when I get a chance, what was shipping on that?

[Marswolf]

I wish I could find someone around here who wanted some 7.62 x 39. Every time I open a shooting bag I find a bunch more rounds. Unfortunately, I've become disenchanted with the AK and it's about to find another home. Wish I had kept the MAK90.

[Magiccarpetrides]

dotsun at $169.95 I believe my total was like $184.00 shipped.

Edit: the dollar is taking a beating...try not to wait too long. Until we give up our gun rights and Obamination gets in office I would say its gonna be a rough ride for the buck.

[Guest dotsun]

Yeah I know, I'm probably gonna buy a case next month. Car insurance with a teenage driver is gonna kill me this month.

Hope the prices for 9mm hasnt been affected that much at walmart or I'd be in trouble!

[strickj]

WM 9mm as of 2/18 was 18.42 +tax per 100 wwb

[Guest Tyson1]

looks like most of their ammo has gone up about $2-$3/box

[Marswolf]

Folks, ammo is largely going up because the dollar is going down.

Get used to it until the economy changes.

[strickj]

It will as soon as these 600 dollar checks start rolling in

[Guest Bobelk99]

You are probably going to see a small increase every 40 or 50 days throughout the year.

[edellson]

I believe its time to start buying in on all the ammo you will need. Hillary's own words were she was going to place ammo under big brother eyes.

[LazyAce]

You might check with www.natchezss.com for ammo. I have bought a lot lately from them and the price even with shipping is decent.

[strickj]

Natchezss is here in Chatt.and they dont sell to locals

Johnson City Walmart was 19.47 for WWB 9mm OUCH! I went to Dicks and got Remington UMC on sale for 10.00 a box. 45acp was 15 a box.

Shoot anyone remember when you could buy a Norinco SKS and a CASE of ammo for 100 bucks... and that was when I lived in Maryland.

I read China is buying every piece of raw metal it can for ammunition and that is largley what has caused ammo and other metal products to rise. Add in the war, weak dollar, ect and it makes things worse.

[ZenDog]

And I heard somewhere that the price of lead has risen faster than the price of any other major metal, including gold.

Buy now, save later. I think it works like gasoline- it ain't gonna get a whole lot cheaper very soon.

You are correct about China, but it’s not for ammunition. There is a housing boom in China (compliments of us) and the copper is being used for electrical wire and electronics.

The price of copper and the limited availability of ammo due to the war is what is driving ammo prices up.

I bought a hundred round bag of Wolf 7.62X39 up near Kingsport today for 23.99.

I think it is Wolf from the black box. Looked like a 20 round box was 4.99 so I saved a whole buck by getting a hundred rounds.

not from Walmart though, place called Gunslingers
