View Full Version : Another WalMart thread...
Ok WTF is the deal with Walbogs being bone dry when it comes to ammo.....I called every Walbogs in town (Co Spgs, WP, and Monument) and not one had 9mm!
Or they were selling the last of it as I was on the phone with em.......crazy.

Try sports authority. I know here in the Denver area they get their ammo shippment in on Tuesdays, might be the same down there. I've been buying the 100rd Winchester white box of 9mm for $25!!
Last night I was thinking about bribing the guy at the ammo counter :p

One of the counter guy at wally on Hampden & Yosemite has been buying ammo through me. That tells you something[Rant1]
Just have to get lucky I guess. Last week I got a 200 round box of .223 and the UMC 250 pack of 9mm. Like somebody already said Sports authority usually has 9mm and 40 SW.
Gander mountain around 104th and I-15 has a ton of .40
they had no 9mm when I was there and a little bit of .45
My buddy just bought a .45 and bought some there...25 bucks for a box of 50.
the winchester white box they wanted I believe either 35 or 40 bucks per box of 50...[Bang]
Gander Mtn on Abilene in Aurora typically has 2 or 3 boxes of WWB 50rds going for $59.99...
Talking with clerks, the problem isn't walmart. It's the shooters, just like everything else. For instance this guy gets 10 cases of 45ACP in the evening. By the time he comes back to work the next day, it's already all gone. Prior to that, 19 cases of 9mm comes in, some guy comes in and buys 14 CASES. Second guy in buys 2 CASES. Thats not getting shot, it's getting put under floorboards cause some retards honestly think the UN/Obama/Federales/Whatever is really coming for them.
Then you show up (guy B) and want to buy 2 boxes so you can hit the range. Well, cause guy A naively bought entire overpriced inventory (and he never shoots anything), your screwed and can't shoot anything either.
I guess I'm somewhere in the middle...in the past 6 months I've bought more than 1,000rds of 5.56, and maybe shot 200 rounds of that...but damnit, I have a new 9mm pistol I want to get acquainted with, but cant because the only ammo I've been able to find for it has been a single 50rd box of Fiocchi at Big 5...I want to shoot it, but I want to have something in it in case somebody I wasnt expecting decides to stop by and say hello in the middle of the night...

That statement was covered by the (j/k) part on the bottom of the original post...!
Actually the UMC .223 and the HP stuffs are walmart stuffs... [Tooth] Last time I checked wally world.. UMC .223 55gr is about .50/ammo.. nuts.
I was, and have been guy A quite often latley, below is one of my scores, I have had a couple bigger than this one. but I have a ranch, and a private range set up, so I do shoot all the time, we usually go through between 100-250 rounds every week, sometimes even more.

I'm tired of being Guy B (more like Guy C). I'm on the look out now @ all of the Wally Worlds in C. Spr with a little bit of coin in my pocket to try to be Guy A for once. I've recently picked up a 9mm for both my wife and my daughter and I know they're both chomping @ the bit to shoot them.
I haven't even been able to find the bricks of Federal 22LR for over a month. The same goes for WWB 38 Spl, etc.
Castle Rock Wally is getting an ammo shipment tonight! No garantee of amount of boxes but they are supposed to be getting in
56 boxes of 200 round Remmington .223 50 grain FMJ, they have a full case of Winchester 5.56mm behind the counter but it is $10 for 20! They are also suppose to be getting Winchester white boxes in 9, 40 ,and 45. I am sure this will sell out quick!

I actually found some WWB 7.62x39 at the Walmart at Palmer park and powers the other day. I didn't even go to wally world for ammo, I was just browsing around and was like "Holy shit! They have this in stock?" I bought 2 boxes.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but at my Wally World in Lone Tree, there is a sign up that says: "Due to current ammo shortages, we are limiting ammo purchases to 4 boxes per customer."
Not that it matters, they never have any ammo at all, much less 4 boxes that I could buy!

Walmart off of powers and woodmen is getting handgun ammo tonight around 10pm- lots of .40, 9mm, .45, .223 and some others. I will miss out again.[Rant1]
I was driving past Wallyworld at I-25 and 136th (Westminster) today. They had about 8x100rnd valuepacks of 45 left at $29.97
We should have some kind of tacked "in stock" thread
Jensen's had lots of Wolf 308, but they are limiting how much you can buy at once. Didn't write down the price.
Sportsmans in Loveland is empty, just like the one in the Springs
Jax had the usual hunting rounds but not much little else

I've been hitting the Walmart at 32nd and Youngfield at about 8:30 the last several nights. Last night I hit the jackpot. Stopped in again tonight and got some more. They get a truck every night but Monday at about that time. Maybe they get ammo, maybe they don't.
Castle Rock Wally has .223 federal 50 grain in stock, 200 round packs. 9mm whinchester white box 100 round. They had 40 SW until I got there! 45 winchester defense rounds, 5.56 winchester 20 round boxes, and winchester .223 40 round boxes for way too much!
I have been around but it has been awhile since I posted. The reason for a new member classification is because I have a new email address and could not remember my old password to save me. So I took the easy way out and started over.

Last night I was thinking about bribing the guy at the ammo counter :p
that's what I'm thinking about every time I'm standing there looking at the empty shelves.... I'm serious.
Anyone have any info on when they get ammo shipments at the two Longmont stores, or in Broomfield or Lafayette? I haven't been able to find ammo in a LONG time.
Also, I don't know whether to be jealous or pissed off that some people are going in and buying every box they have...

I found out that for the location nearest me that they often put out ammo first thing in the morning. Around 8 am give or take. But I couldn't find out for sure what days exactly; I'm not sure if it's truly irregular or if the gentleman I spoke to just didn't want to disclose it.
But if you guys are diligent and check out the various locations around that time, you just might be rewarded. It might take having to go 3-4 times a week but it'll work eventually.

This is getting ridiculous. I typically stock up 5k of 5.56 and 2k of 9mm. Now, trying to stock up .308 as I just got into it.
I barely want to shoot 9mm anymore due to the prices, 5.56 is going fast too at the rate I am shooting every other week or so. I still refuse to purchase retail from Walmart etc. Bulk purchases are good.but they are going up every month too.
Doesnt anyone has any sources for M855, or X193??

My gf bought the last four 100rd boxes of .45 at the Highlands Ranch Walmart the other night. I asked her why, since neither of us have a .45. :D She thought I did, but my dad does so he's buying it off her. I need 9mm and .380 desperately.
got 6 boxes of 9mm, and 2 boxes of .45 blazer brass today, they are still holding their price of $8.97 for 9, and $14.97 on the .45
I haven't been looking but a friend of mine hasn't been able to find any 22lr (Fed 550) at WalMart for weeks.....probably a timing thing.
they had 20+ boxes of them today, but I have .22 coming out of my ears.
Wow, where is this? I'm looking to pick up about 10 boxes............

Talking with clerks, the problem isn't walmart. It's the shooters, just like everything else. For instance this guy gets 10 cases of 45ACP in the evening. By the time he comes back to work the next day, it's already all gone. Prior to that, 19 cases of 9mm comes in, some guy comes in and buys 14 CASES. Second guy in buys 2 CASES. Thats not getting shot, it's getting put under floorboards cause some retards honestly think the UN/Obama/Federales/Whatever is really coming for them.
Then you show up (guy B) and want to buy 2 boxes so you can hit the range. Well, cause guy A naively bought entire overpriced inventory (and he never shoots anything), your screwed and can't shoot anything either.
I'm guy A and I don't think it's a problem. I'm not trying to screw anyone out of their fun at the range, but I have reasons for having some extra ammo on hand:
Legislation could make it harder to get some, though this is the least of my concerns.
I want to have some of my "emergency fund" in usable and tradable goods, such as ammo, canned goods, etc. It's just common sense preparation for inflation, local or national emergency, or the unlikely TEOTWAWKI situation. I'm not trying to make a stand against the government or anything, just want to "be prepared".
Buying when it's available means I have some ammo for that trip to the range. If I don't buy several boxes when they are available, I may not get a chance for a while.I know how frustrating it can be watching someone buy the last box in front of you, but it makes it that much sweeter when you get some. :) No offense meant to anyone.
That said, at least two Walmarts I've been to have a six box limit now.

Leasures Treasures is great,especially for surplus. They have always had stuff in stock when I go, but it is a bit high priced. That's the way to do business, though. It's a no brainer: "Hmm, every time I get ammo in stock, it's bought up the first day, maybe I should raise prices".
I'm a cheapo, so I get most of my ammo online, but /i have bought many boxes from them. Last time I was there, I found an old box of new 30-06 in one of the cans still marked at $12! I looked like three times for ore. :) They actually gave it to me at that price too!
Keep your eyes open and have fun on the hunt! [Luck]

I'm not a fan of Specialty Sports either, they have very high prices and seem aloof (some have said arrogant). It's one thing to have high prices, but trying to convince someone it's a good price is a little low.
I did get some decent help last time I was there though looking for a bore light: they didn't have one, nor did Paradise Sales and the one from Sportsman's Warehouse was broken! What is the deal! I did finally get one at Sports Authority.

I keep looking and calling 4 different Wal-Marts here in Colorado Springs. I haven't come across any 9mm or 22LR Federal 550 rnd cartons for about 2 months.
I have a little bit of 22LR in stock, but not much. I have about 1 trip to the range for the family of 9mm in stock. Would really like to get considerably more so that the family can go shooting and develop some skills (wife, daughter, and son have limited experience and I need to get their skill level up).
When I have been lucky enough to find any of this ammo, I have only bought 3 boxes (100rnd) max on any particular trip so as not to take too much and to leave some for others. Now, I'm rethinking my unselfish attitude because the selfish attitude of others is hurting me and my family.
Sure, places like Specialty Sports and Paradise have ammo in stock more often than Wal-Mart, but (at this point), I'd rather wait than to pay the jacked up prices stores like this are charging.
For those of you buying cases upon cases of ammo and trying to justify it to the rest of us, save your breath, I'm not buying it.
