Guns in Walmart, no one interested.

[Guest TankerHC]

Was in Walmart about 11 today buying a ball for my hitch. Stopped to look at guns (This is in Brandon, MS), but one thing was certainly noticeable. They have those revolving glass gun cases out on the middle of the floor. Both full. And no one even in the Sporting Goods section and the place was packed. Had 4 AR's, a BMI M4 for $860, a Windham M4 for $830 and two LE6920's for $1299. No one even looking.

 

Ammo, plenty of it. .22 bulk, 12 gauge small game loads, about everything. Except what I have been looking for. .44 Mag and 30-30.

 

One thing I did notice, prices on the ammo were a little high (I thought). I dont own a 30-06 but someone tell me, isnt $39.99 for a box of 20 Remington Cor-Lokt a little high? Cannot see there normal prices online because it is in store only. Also noticed a LOT of 7MM Rem Mag.

thats about double what it should be. I paid 19.99 for 30-06 corelokt 180gr about 2 hours ago at sportsman's warehouse, and 18.99 for 165gr core-lokt monday night.

I see the price on the Colt 6920 went up almost $300. It's no longer in the "budget AR" category.

Until ammo becomes plentyful at a decent price I doubt make people will be buying guns as they did in the past year. Just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure i just saw the Colt 6920 at my Wal-Mart for $1047 +/-. Are you sure the 30-06 was by the correct price tag?

Yep, had to do a double take on it just to make sure of what I was seeing. It was tagged at $39.99.

Walmart has 2 types of 6920s they carry, the regular for ~1050 and the one with magpul bits for ~1269, at least that is what I have seen in Knoxville.

39.99 on 30-06 it probably the hunting loads ballistic tips

I think we are in a ammo vacuum here in east Tennessee. I haven't seen ANY 22lr in any store in the last 5 months. Not a single box, bulk or otherwise. The last 22 I bought was 22 short I bought the first part of January. I normally shoot 2K+ a month and haven't shot that since December. Even considering building a 22 Jet just so I can use my 22 lr can. I have 22 lr but I will not fire another shot until I can buy more.

 

Now my local Walmart gets 22lr in a few times every week according to the workers. They said they get thousands of rounds each time but the same group of guys come in and buy all they can. Same thing for 223, 9mm and most other popular calibers.

Local wally worlds near me are stocked up on guns as well.  Ammo's slowly coming up, but as mentioned the more popular calibers are still mia.

I'd buy a Windham M4 for $830. Leave the snake off and get a discount. :D

I saw an AR15 at Oak Ridge Walmart this morning for 900. 

 

Still not finding ammo I want though.

[jtmaze]

Same thing in south jackson. Milan Walmart has plenty of rifles but no ammo. South jackson had .44 mag last time I looked but it is hit or miss.

Smyrna walmart is bone dry every time i swing in their for something. If ammo isnt restored by OCT...then the holidays will just make it worse.

Same story here in West TN at our Wal-Mart.  I haven't seen any handgun ammo (except for 1 box of 44 mag about a month ago) at the local store since Christmas.  The clerks tell me the same thing, there's a line every morning before 7:00 with the same guys waiting to buy everything/anything that came in over night.

I was at the hermitage walmart a few hours ago they had plenty of shotguns and rifles but no ammo, even 30-06 was almost gone they most of the time have a ton of it

I was in a KY Wally World last week and they were stocked on ARs. They even had an M&P 15-22 in the display. It was just a couple months ago that people were selling those for twice the cost.

Funny because I was laughed at for offering a person $650 for a used S&W Sport just a few months ago, which is very fair for a used sport. Who's laughing now dips***?

[Oh Shoot]

How many new cars would sell if gas were $10 a gallon or unavailable at all?

There was some CCI at a local shop here. $8 a box but they had it.  Everything but 45 is still high.

[whitewolf001]

Wally World here had a Sig 716 for $1999 and a Colt 6920 SOCOM for $1499 last week. Was surprised mostly by the 716, at a glance I notice this AR with a massive mag and did a double take.
