Don't disagree , but sure freight and net 30 come into play as well I do know a couple of small gunshow sellers that use PSA Buds etc as their distributors as the big guys require proof of store front What's PSA charge for freight on a case of ammo ? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Most people buy ammo to shoot for that day at the range. They are not stockpiling like some folks here. So they buy that 2 to 5 boxes of ammo for their recreational shoot. It was easy run by WM to fulfill those needs. Ordering ammo takes time, planning and forethought. |

Like I said I find it very hard to believe they were selling 1/5th of the ammo in this country.... Whatever. It's not like people aren't going to keep buying. More deserving places will get the business now. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
We believe these actions will reduce our market share of ammunition from around 20% to a range of approximately 6 to 9%. We believe it will likely drift toward the lower end of that range, over time, given the combination of these changes. Wow, that is a lot a of ammo sales. The category manager is going to be sweating that number. Whatever. It's not like people aren't going to keep buying. More deserving places will get the business now. I bet they are single largest seller of ammunition in the US. And I would assume most ammo sales are at the retail level, not internet based for home delivery. |

Their memo. Didn't specifically say they were going to keep selling 308, but did say will continue selling hunting rounds. 300 win mag 308 30-30 270 243 and 30-06 all common hunting rounds. Basically if a fudd has a gun, one of those calibers will still be stocked. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So now that the more than likely #1 retail ammo seller in the nation is out of business these other guys can go up on their prices to increase their margins and sales numbers without losing customers. More than likely make huge gains in market shares, sales and margin dollars. The category manager at Academy is smiling. He can go up 0.50 to a dollar a box and not worry about losing market share. He will actually gain. |

There's a walmart fairly close to me that turned ghetto probably 15 years ago. They stopped selling guns and ammo around that time. Considering the location I didn't really blame them. I haven't been in that store in at least 15 years. Not sure if their address is actually ferguson, but they're right on the edge. I don't know OP's area but I could see it happening in a "diverse" area. In a rural area, doubt it. |

While OP's post reads very closely (not entirely) to the Press Release, it reads slightly different than Walmarts Internal Release. With regards to certain "percentages" ordered/sold, it will appear that they will be sold out because the amount of pistol ammo ordered will be so low. Also, they have existing contracts with suppliers they will honor so there will be a slow but steady flow of pistol and AR/AK ammo for a short while.
Obviously, with the press release, the panic buying will begin.... now. |

I haven't read 10 pages, but jumping in anyway.
Just came from Wal Mart, they had a shit ton of handgun ammo, I picked up a couple of hundred rounds to flesh out what I used up Saturday while plinking around. They are remodeling, have a brand new ammo case, and a brand new sporting goods counter, the long arms are now behind said counter. I also saw a guy open carrying what looked like a K frame Smith...... Don't know about a new policy, just what I saw an hour ago..... |

I haven't read every reply, so forgive me if this has been discussed already. Since the memo from WalMart suggested revisiting the idea of an assault weapons ban, and it called on legislators to take action to prevent future tragedies, could that stance cause legislators to support this position simply so they continue to receive their WalMart money? WalMart has given lots of money to the GOP over the years, and I wouldn't be surprised if some RINO's change their views of firearms related laws to appease WalMart.

Quote HistoryQuoted: All Congress has to do now is pass a nationwide background check to buy ammo and we are screwed, blued, and tattooed. No more internet sales; no more shipped to your door. People don't yet grasp how big this is. Best case scenario other than ordering in bulk while it lasts is that I have to pay several dollars more for the not quite the same thing from Sportsman's Warehouse. Who besides Walmart was carrying the 100 or 200-round Federal .223 plinking ammo for about $30 per 100? My prepper stash is untouchable. I'd sometimes get enough from Wally World to get me through the weekend knowing I could buy ammo on Friday night. If you wanted ammo then, you had to go to your local FFL and your ID/Info went into the disposition record. They have to overturn existing law (1986 FOPA) to go back to the way it was before... |

I didn't shop at Walmart for much anymore....oil, filters, but other than that ammo was about it. So, just as easy now to go to Academy and stop by an auto-parts store....someone has oil on sale pretty much all the time.
I'm not a boycott kinda guy, but I sure will seek greener pastures when a business stops selling what I'm interested in, especially over a political stand. I do feel bad for people that live in an area where Walmart is their pretty much only presence for reasonably priced ammo, tho, and that's a LOT of rural folks. This is a slap in the face to them. |

Stopped by the local store this morning before I saw this news to check on some Brickseek items (struck out). Sporting goods guy had the entire counter, locker and shelf spaces torn down re doing them. Any scope, binos, ranegfinders, etc. were all marked down. He made the comment they all needed to be gone ASAP.

For me, it will be the inconvenience of paying a little more from someplace else, or ordering in bulk and having to plan to be home for UPS.
It will also put a damper on the buddy calling up Friday night saying, "Let's go to the range on Sunday," and I'd have to head to Walmart on Saturday for ammo to keep from having to open a case. But that's beside the point. We are in the middle of an anti-gun flood, sitting on a tiny island that is slowly getting smaller....and smaller....and smaller....as the flood waters rise. Sooner or later there won't be the ability to say "zero fucks given", or "fuck them I'll just get it somewhere else." Pretty soon it's either stop shooting, jump through a bunch of hoops and pay high prices, or see if you can buy it on the black market. |
