walmart and ammo

[10ga]

Walmart in Greeneville had .45 ACP when I was there around 11:00 today. I bought 2 boxes but they still had about 10 boxes left.

Lebanon Rd in Hermitage is empty.

9mm, .223, and .22lr aside,  I've not even seen a friggin box of .30-30 in a loooonnnnggg time, and you could generally score that at Wally's during the '08 panic era.

2 different recent Fridays I swung in there on my way home about 4:30pm. They had .38sp one week and 9mm last Friday. May be worth checking.

Just talked to the sporting goods dept at Walmart in the boro he said the they were getting ammo in  he was just getting ready to unload the truck. wish I lived closer maybe next time.

Jamestown Wally had 9mm in 100ct WWB (2) and 50ct Federal (several) yesterday.

 

I left it for the needy.

I picked up a box of the 250ct UMC last week. Thank you to everyone who posts these deals up. Its such a great feeling walking into the Walmart having some sort of hope.

Picked up a couple boxes of .45 acp in Sevierville a couple days ago

[Guest ArmyVeteran37214]

Wally 5616 for some 20 and 12 guage slugs. Also some 380, 9, 40, 45, 7.62, 270.

This is getting crazy. I had to stop a guy yesterday from buying some 22-250 rounds that, in his haste, he thought were .22lr. I almost didn't say anything but had pity on him. I was able to snag a couple 50 round boxes of winchester super x's though.

At the Wal-Mart off of Chapman now they have signs on any box of ammo that has a 22 on it (like 22 hornet) and it says not .22lr lol

It's slowly coming back. Talked with a wally world associate this morning. She said she had some 40 SW she stocked yesterday. Didn't ask her what else she'd stocked. Of course the shelves were now bare.

 

My take away. Every wally world stocks the shelves at different times, different employees on different shifts. It's really a hit or miss to show up at the right time. Unless you know the shifts of said employees. Still hate shopping there, but I kind of enjoy the once a week walk through to see if anything is left on the shelf.

Happened to be in Clarksville this morning, and stopped by store #673 on Wilma Rudolph Blvd around 10am.

 

Lots of hunting calibers, even some 7.62x39, plenty of shotgun shells including 00 buck, but the handgun side of the shelf was pretty empty. No 22lr or WMR to be had, a few boxes of 9mm JHP, several boxes of .380 and .32, and 8 or 9 boxes of Federal .45ACP FMJ. I got my 3 boxes of .45 and left the rest for others. It's the first .45 ammo I've seen in a Walmart in about a month, but then again, I don't make the 7AM rounds every day like some folks.

There was a guy at CHMR on Sunday who claimed he pays the SG guy at the Cool Springs walmart $50 to let him know when it comes in, and sells him as much as he wants.

He was selling 500 round tins of Tula .223 out of his truck for $300 a tin....... had 8 of them...and paid $154 a tin.

This is happening at 1226 in Ashland City as well.

I don't see how he knows when it's coming in. They don't tell us anymore, or allow us to have the print out of what's coming in. Must be a manager, either way he's an asshole.

He probably just stashes it when it does come in and not put it out on the floor.  Either way, both of those guys are d-bags.  I went ahead and sent an e-mail to corporate so they can start auditing their Cool Springs store.  They are taking this crap very seriously right now.

[austin7.62]

I don't understand where he could hide it? To my knowledge not all Walmart stores do not have gun rooms...

Great resource FYI

[austin7.62]

I don't know. I know some stores do not sell guns, but they do sell ammo. Walker Springs and Turkey Creek come to mind in Knoxville for example. Where could he be hiding it? Unless the other employees are in on it too. Not trying to start conspiracy theories, but I do not where this guy could be stashin it...

Good on you for emailing their corporate office.  Idiots like that are causing the issue for all of us.

won't do any good.

 

I've sent emails directly to Mike Duke and got no response.

 

If it does work, then yay!
