We stopped by an Academy Sports store yesterday (had an out-of-state niece with us looking for Bama tee-shirts). I wandered to the gun counter, maybe to buy some 9mm. Zero pistol ammo on shelf. I asked how long it'd been that way.
"We got a full order in this morning". It was 2:30 pm when I asked! They had 6 boxes of 30-06, four 20-ct boxes of .45 "Zombie" loads, a dozen or so boxes of .308 and maybe 2 dozen boxes of .243 and assorted unusual caliber ammo on the long-gun ammo aisle. They had a decent selection of guns. But no ammo.

I ordered a pack of 10-30rd windowed Pmags for AR from DSG Arms when they were on-sale for $100/pack. This was back in 12/21/12. They are arriving tomorrow. I believe these are manufactured overseas, but rumor has it over a million were ordered.
Now, I'm sure they had to hire more people to do the CSR as well as warehousing/shipping. ShotShow was this week and I'm sure with the Obama Executive Orders, many USA gun manufacturers will continue to add to their backlog. Truly an accidental spur in one segment of the economy. Unfortunately, it might be right before a big drought that will force many who are focused on 'military style' products to go out of business, especially if they don't adapt. 7 round magazines for all of NY guns....better get at it! |

In 2008 I searched the entire world to find 9mm rounds, and I only got them because I bought 2 new handguns. I asked the guy to please put a couple cases of 9mm and a case of .22 ammo back for me if it ever came in. I'll be damned if he didn't do just that. I got in the car asap, drove over the mountain, and by the time I got there there wasn't a round of anything left on the shelves already. Still shooting from those rounds, although my 9mm is getting low. I should be good until the shelves get filled again. As long as the zombies don't come first.
