I looked at a shotgun and some 30-30 ammo. And, decided to wait on both. But maybe, tomorrow.

Maybe not directly gun related but there is guns there. Bought one of these and a shirt to go with it.

I've been seriously thinking about getting a Shockwave, really like the new one with the wood grips. Don't really need one (of course I have several guns I don't "need") but a guy was telling me if I want one, buy it now in case ATF decides to change it's classification from "other" to something else.

Nope. But did look at the latest Bimart ad booklet to see what they had on sale for ammo this month.

It's been a long while since I shopped at Walmart, but today I was passing by and stopped in for a few household necessities. I also stopped by the ammo case twice while in the store.

I got my first CT firearms permit in Dec. 2013 and bought my first gun, a Henry H001, in April 2014. I had no idea there was an ammo shortage at the time and was totally shocked to know that while I could buy a .22 rifle, I could not buy any ammo for it. After that, I bought .22LR ammo whenever I could and since then, I've built up an inventory of more than 10K rounds; more than I am likely to shoot for the rest of my life.

But, the Walmart ammo case was so full that they moved the shotgun shells out of the locked case and onto a long, high shelf in a nearby aisle to make room for pistol and rifle calibers in the case. The 22LR section was totally stocked with every make and version that there is. It was so very hard for me not to buy some. My fingernails were digging into my palms as I resisted. :shock:

I left the store with a large quantity of toilet paper, Kleenex, and some very sore palms.

.22lr is fully available here too but the price has more than doubled. I remember buying a 500rd brick of decent plinking .22lr right before the shortage for $9. I've got around 2500 rds, probably should buy some more but I don't shoot .22lr that much. I have a decent stock pile of 9mm, .566 and some .357 (it's so expensive) and try to replace whatever I shoot.

Someone told me that during the shortage employees at our local Walmart (and probably other stores too) would call their friends and relatives whenever a shipment of .22lr ammo arrived and they and all their friends and relatives would have it all bought out within a couple of hours of it being put on the shelves.

I thought it was strange that after most other calibers became fully available it was quite a while before .22lr did.

That is odd. The prices today at Walmart were much lower than I have ever seen them. Check out TargetSportsUSA online. They have great prices, too, and ship larger quantities for free.

I guess I wasn't clear, meant the price everywhere for .22 lr had more than doubled since the shortage. 9mm and .223/.556 also went up but not nearly as much as .22lr.

No, you were clear, Dave. I misunderstood. :oops:

Since I never bought ammunition until 2014, I had no reference; but you are right.

This graph of the Producer Price Index By Industry clearly shows a dramatic rise in cost of Ammunition from 2007 to the present.
